Finally!!!! It's been exactly 1 month since I started the new version of my website. At first, I designed the "kind" style.. Well not fully designed, but just made a part top banner. Anyway.. I realized that the website was losing its scary look and then changed to kinda gothic style and that's when I posted my splash page for feedback here... I called it "The Orchid" coz I have no idea why, but this beautiful flower (Link) somehow reminds me of a gothic style. From the previous design, I considered several things:
1. I made the website simple, from the side of coding and images as well. (Previous one was really cluttered)
2. Made all jpg's with seperate .html files, because previously many people did not know how to resize the images and I they could see only whatever size fitted their screens.
3. Having "Downloads" is really bad thing, coz last time there were no active downloads on my website, so it was and extra useless link.
4. Also, having "Links" section was useless, because I had like 4 links to other pages and the rest of the page was empty.
5. Thumbnails are good things, I like the way Depthcore uses them, and I wanted to add some black drop shadow to them, but I couldn't b/c of my dark background... So I made it the light one.
6. I wanted to make only 2 links - "Digital Art" and "Info" but the third one kinda looks nice from the side of design.
7. The hardest part - coding for multiple browsers. I downloaded FF and during the coding of the website, I used to view it in both IE and FF.. So the website supports FF just fine Also, tried on some other browsers and worked good, but I haven't checked on Mac users... (Safari) So some feedback from Safari users would be great.

As I said, the coding is really simple. CSS, Javascript (I can't live without Javascript ) and HTML. I wanted to add some php shoutboxes for feedback, but it would ruin the design... And also, i'm thinking of adding a little flash animation at the top.
I had 219 layers in total... There were really many ornamental layers and paths.
Well hope you like the new design and I really need as much feedback as possible...

all I can say it's:
beautyful
direct to the point
I just think you should add an about and contact section

edit2: bravi, take a look at this:Lightbox Image Viewer
It will pimp your website in my opinion

Wow that's a cool thing. I might add that kinda thing to my website. Thnx for your comment. I appriciate that.

I like it, suits you and your style, the header looks really good and the content isnt too busy so good mix with that, I just don't like the links bit at all.

header title text should be changed to something more readable. Also you have nice designs there so why not reflect them in the webdesign? i personally think the web design lets down the rest of the work.

cool design but has a little bit of a load time.
