very nice, okay, on to the site. It's very nice overall, i just have some nit picky things, first. Just for future refrence (incase you didn't already know) A splash page is usually a big turnoff, you can lose a lot of potential viewers with one. Although since your site is in flash I can see why you'd need an html page (search engines). 2nd, The dog eared page thing, although its a nice idea, very artsy, i don't think it's really necissary. And finally, the random green stuff in the top right? What is that? I don't like it. There's my 2 cents. Hope it's helpful :D

Hi Jero, I dig the stuff you're generating in your sketchbook. To comment on the site, I'd be more selective about the works to put up there. The pics in the illustrations section are really not doing you any good, not at all showing your current skill level as the works in the free art section. Like the monkey.. compared to, say your walking hand, it's a _huge_ difference in quality!

- What do you mean exacly with a splash page (small site in the middle,
just not full screen)?

- And 2 the answer on the green stuff: this has 2 b an electronic print
plate (have 2 change the color a bit i think, too dark? ) i stil want to do
some cable work, maybe little monstars chewing on it :P

- And the site is not in flash, everything is html... maybe it's better to make
it all in flash? Lot of work again though :S

You're totaly right about de different quality in my worx, some worx are very old :S Well i just wanted 2 show some different materials i've worked with (markers, pencils, ink etc). Soon i goanna get those stupid drawings of the site ;) Thanx, now i'm more sure what 2 put on the site and what not :D

I think it's beter not to put to much on the site, but only great worx,
than a lot of worx, but not all the in the same quality...

BTW my concept
when you come on the first page (home) its a nice clean site.
But when you go 2 the portfolio everything is trashed. (wanna update that once in a while) And i wanted 2 make some kind of picture viewer,
just no pop-ups, i know from my own experience that pop-ups are also a bit anoying, click em away etc.

[souloneliness]

hahahah, my bad man, i thought it was flash cause it was so image heavy and flash pages are generally centered like that. Anyways, okay if that green circuitry is supposed to be there then, like you said, you need to make it a little move obvious (basically, needs some work). A splash page is a page that pops up before the actual site with a button saying ENTER HERE or something of the sort.

[teyekanik]

well.. the site isn't flash, but it should be.. your nav. images are simple enough to make as vectors in flash... the thing that bothered me about your site is that I had to constantly load each individual image of buttons over and over... it looks like a flash site without the advantages of vectors. But it looks nice.

whats .tk? is that a country? Turkey maybe?

[JeroArt]

Thanx for the reply's

To make my site centred was much work (frames etc.)
But now u say it could b easily done in flash. I'll think i go 4 that.
So many sites are in flash these days, why not mine ;)
And yeah i have 2 work on the details of my site :S

teyekanik
Maybe i goanna fix it in flash yeah. I saw so many more comlicated sites than mine, in flash. And then i can also put some nice animations in it, and much easier.

.tk is a free domain name.
So if you have your site on the internet, but with a stupid name like mine (www.solcon.nl/hgroen) you can change it for free (make just an other link,
with a better name)

This site was a task for school, and it had to b in dreamweaver :S
I like 2 work with flash, bin a while though, but if i have time, i fix it all in flash.

Thanx 4 the reply's again realy learnfull!
