My few gripes are:
• The banner. More specifically, the logo's placement, font, and background. The soul calibur image on the logo is cut off at the bottom. I think it would look better if the entire logo was visible. Secondly, the font of the "wayrun.com" doesn't match the fonts on either the "8" or "WR," and doesn't fit the "SC font theme," if you will. You had it perfect in this image:
Also, while the 8WR stands out, the soul calibur sword doesn't. Is there a way the image can be made to stand out more? maybe play around with the shadowing options on the sc sword image or lowering the brightness of the background a bit? Or maybe including borders/stroke widths around the image (similar to the stoke widths around the 8WR)?
Siegfried as the foreground image for the light skin layout is perfect. My gripe is with the background. It seems a bit... plain. Is there anyway you can make it more lively and eye-catching?
Also, have Nightmare instead of Taki as the foreground image for the dark skin layout, please. :D
Really? I think the pixelart font is great... it gives a very "Video Game" feel... I love it.
I think the Soul Calibur sword doesnt stand out because he clashes with Siegfried's armor... we'll be coming up with more headers soon, so it shouldn't be an issue. As for the background being bland... I'll post a PDF soon so that people can submit their own backgrounds. I plan on doing it with a randomizer script so that the character randomly rotates.

fails the turing test
Jaxel, fyi... in the current logo, part of the bottom spike/handle/whatever of the logo has been erased. Here's a logo with everything intact, and I cleaned up the brushing behind as well. ;)
Still working on those status icons... I've got all the thread ones done, just gotta do the random leftovers now. I'll let you know when I'm done.
ShenYu: Looking good! My only gripe with it so far is the fact that the header is "zomg blue!" when the rest of the skin is so dark. Aside from that, your color choice is noice. And I remember you using the armor indicator for the thread rankings when you showed the thread view... which was a really nifty touch.
New logo is solid, except the W seems kind of squashed horizontally and I think it would be stronger graphically if you moved the letters closer together so they were touching, and then put up the stroke, IMHO.

ExM: It won't be quite as zomg blue when the character backgrounds are changed. But it'll still probably be at least somewhat zomg blue. :P
I find myself wracking my head for ideas for the status icons that are SC related and would fit with my theme. Hopefully yours will give me some ideas. :)

Yo, this is DancingFighterG. I like the skin that I see so far but I want some of looks either by the same artist or a different one. I want to know that we have different styles that we can use!!
