So this is for the January skinning challenge, which you can find info on Here . Which ^bradleysays is organzing.

I really wanted to try something new. I'm not very good at using images to make my skins interesting; but I wanted to try some new shapes with the CSS and formatting, to create something unusual and unlike what you usually find here -without using pictures. Thus, maybe it's advent-garde? (I may have had to google for a definition). Then I wanted teal. 

I came up with this design in summer, along with the colours while in proboards forums, but making it fit into dA was a real pain. Things have to go just right and it displays poorly when it's not fullview, which really upsets me. I usually strive to make them as perfect and UNfrustrating as possible. I think it looks nice without the column, but it was a lot of work to have both, so I'm giving both options.

I think it's really nice when you have extra resources, like 100x100 icons, that you can actually use


Like I said in the image, it fits the same codes as a lot of my other skins, which I think is convenient. I dunno if I'll be able to do the rest of the challenge tbh. I have ideas though. 



Most of the information is in the image today (:



Featured deviations:

       


In case you mess up the header and want to get back to the default:

With teal sidebar:

< div class="icon">< div class="info">Contents *xReiichiru
Maximum of 250pixels in height. It can be easily removed for a different look The above icon is 100x100. (really it's closer to 86 in height though) < div class="content">
Without teal sidebar

< div class="icon">< div class="content">


A reminder of the codes you'll want

< h2 > Is the centered purple headers.

< div class="features" > is the features box.

< div class="left"> is having a thumb to the left. There's a right version too.

Info is the teal box, and icon is the icon. Content is the massive yellow box. Feel free to change little things if they irritate you, like opacities or some colour stuff. 


=> Don't modify this and then call it your own

=> Don't republish or remove the credit

=> Don't be a toolbox.

=> I got my icon from hellolace.net


And finally, others in my gallery (:

The only thing weird is that the feature div seems to be too wide, therefore its drop shadow doesn't appear completely (contrary to the left div for example).
Apart from that the colors and shapes are really nice, and I like that hovering-thingy on the featured deviations

Oh, you mean on the right? If so, I made it like that. I like an effect like it's coming in from the right and sitting over the rest. Does it look particularly bad? Personally I'm kinda sick of feature boxes always being perfectly centered?


Yay! The colours were tricky to pick out uwu


Thanks a bunch for the critique! I'm not always the best at judging my own work! x")
