So I'm in the midst of creating my first pet profile and I wanted thoughts on how it looks so far. Pet link here I'm planning on adding shading and highlights to the candy in the story banner. Need to add credits for the harvester image (I commissioned)

I like the layout, graphics, and headers! That's a great start alone, and a cute blend to boot! :D

Constructive stuff: The background is a good concept but kind of busy with the different angles the stripes are at. Maybe if you used the greyscale background just in the title, story and goodies divs instead? Hopefully that makes sense. D: I also can't really read the text. Maybe try white text with a shadow or some variation to increase visibility? Oh just highlighted the text, it's also overlapping about 20px(maybe?) over the top of the Goodies area. Hopefully this is more helpful than hurtful, like I said I do like what you have o-o

Totally unrelated: Great name grabs for both this pet and your username XD

Oh! Thank you so much for the critique. I followed your suggestions and made some other adjustments. Does it look better? And hah XD Yes. I can't believe the pet name was completely untaken. Thank you!

I like it overall, though I think you overdid the stripes a little. Also the treasure is slightly too far to the right and the overlay is a little too big for the box as it overlaps the borders :)

Hello :D Thanks for the input. I think I fixed the treasure chest items. I'm not sure what to do about pet image, short of redrawing the box (And I really don't want to do that XD) And which stripes? The small ones? Should I make them more transparent? Make them wider?

I think you could add a width and height to the overlay image to make it smaller? IDK I just feel there's far too many of them, but that might just be personal taste. :)

very cute! i think the story height length needs to be made smaller and maybe make it hover so that the text is behind the harvester image until you hover over it. also it looks like the border around the pet image isn't constant around the right and bottom side so that needs to be fixed.

Oh! A hover box is a good idea. Once I figure out how to do that... And replaced the pet image with the overlay image, so now it's consistently framed.

It may just be my small screen, but the story section is now displaying oddly.

No problem XD As reasonable as possible, I want to try and have it display properly on most screens. Hmm...ok let me undo the last thing I did. Now?

Awesome! Not sure why changing the text alignment messed it up so much. But at least it's fixed now
