Looks good! The text colour looks about right to me. I'd definitely make the treasure smaller with a scroll. I'd also want to make the boxes on the left all the same length and maybe put the treasure on the left too?

Putting the treasure chest to the left is actually a pretty good idea, the profile would look more organised and neat. The same goes for making the boxes the same length. I will have to think about that :) Thank you for your input!

; I agree with Dotty on making the boxes on the left the same width. They can each be longer or shorter than one another, but keeping them at the same width would be best and help with the consistency of the profile. As far as your TC, I think it can stay where it is, but I would make it's entire length line up with the three boxes on the left. You can adjust it's width to allow less columns for the items, and it will make the TC section scroll. It would keep it looking organized. But it would also look good on the left as well, so either one is fine.

I would personally darken the grey text a tiny bit more. It's not bad as it is, but I do have to squint to see it so it doesn't blend in with the background.

I have a rather large screen resolution, so your background image cuts off for me. One thing I do with my profiles that have a repeating background like yours is make the canvas 3,000 pixels wide, and fill it in with the texture I'm using. That way when you code it to tile vertically, it fills the screen for users who have large resolutions. I do the same with backgrounds that tile horizontally. I make the height of the canvas 3,000 pixels and the width however wide as it should be to tile seamlessly. 's profile is the perfect example. the background tiles horizontally, and the background image is 3,000 pixels in height. Click! It's not something you absolutely have to do, but it's something I like doing so users with large screens aren't stuck looking at a background that seemingly repeats forever for smaller screens, but not for theirs. :)

One last thing would be to put your Spotlight section in a box just like your minion. :)

Other than that, I think this is a great profile! I like the typefaces you've used and how you've used them, as well as the colors! I think the story is great! ❤️

I have a wide sceen myself and I actually like how my backgrounds sort of stop and fade (well, not so much fade as abruptly turn) into a similar color instead. It's nice having something happening to the far right instead of a pattern that endlessly repeats itself. So it's all on purpose :) But I can totally see where you're coming from!

As for the boxes, all you say makes perfect sense.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment ❤

; Oh okay! There's nothing wrong with that! I used to have my backgrounds fade into the solid color before I made them continue forever. :P

You're quite welcome!

And wow, I just realized I was using the wrong form of its in my entire post. o.0 That's annoying, haha.
