It turned out better than I thought, actually!

I was just so excited about finally getting a premium membership, that I wanted to make my profile as awesome as possible. Preferably by posting one big picture from side to side... It was kinda tough until I managed to convert the journal's skin into a picture, but it's ok now. The two are still not aligned, but I'll keep working on it!

I don't know why I wanna throw this dark impression at people, who take a first look at my gallery - a huge, frighting castle! I guess it's just who I am. I want to appear ominous and threatening, so that it will be a pleasure for everyone to discover the sunny landscapes and fairies deeper in my gallery.

Whoa... once again, I'm impressed by your work. This gives a very creepy impression, and the lights from the windows in the darkness is totally awesome. The gates made the castle look like a haunted house or a cemetery! I don't know if people noticed it, but the tree on the side is in a very creepy angle. That's good, for this picture anyway. Definitely not for a pictures that expresses happiness!! But that's expected.The fog enhances the scariness as well, since many things can come out of foggy places... ha ha. What should you improve on? I understand that it's foggy, however instead of having too much fog in the front, you should add more in the back. I can't even see the path that leads up to the castle, if there's any. I think I see trees in the front, but I'm not sure.

Overall, this is awesome. I really can't think of anything else to add!

WOW!! Lovely !! I can sum this up in 3 words. Amazing, mysterious and wonderful!! Its also really spooky which makes it really interesting!! The first thing that caught my eyes were actually the gates. The gates have so much detail and it looks a bit rusty :) And the lights are also gorgeous :D Haha i just noticed the spiderweb which makes it more spookier. I love the background/clouds which make it really nice :) the smoke in the front is also really great :) And the stairs looks really realistic :) This makes me really want to walk in and enjoy spookiness!! Wonderful!!

It's just awesome. This is truly the castle of doom! I would NOT want to go anywhere near THAT castle on Halloween! Good work!

How did you make this part of a journal? I want to do that!

This picture is wonderfully dark and misty. It's like all those enchanted haunted houses, enticing people in. Which is exactly what you want it to do!

Haha, thanks!! ^^ And it's actually part of my DA ID. I found a tutorial about making skins for ID-s here. I'm not sure what I was doing differently from the tutorial, but it ended up looking like this. But it's kinda the way I wanted it - a whole big picture on my profile!
