I tried to go for a heavenly color scheme (always found light color schemes easier on my eyes). May develop a hellish color scheme later on as I expand the site and user options... ("i'll be back")
tested in FF2 (WinXP), IE7 (WinXP), FF3 (WinVista), IE7 (WinVista). Slight differences (FF2 seems to not use "Gill Sans MT" font?, some extra padding in places) but nothing I'd complain about (feel free to complain though, especially if you know how to fix it ).

- NOTES:
- Everything above the top comic nav bar/tower ad is still unfinished. Basically it's displaying 3 options for my main menu (3 cylinders, boxes, 1 cylinder), and in orange a reminder (for me) of my (current) main menu links. I'm leaning towards 3 cylinder option... It has room to expand, still leaves room for a second logo to the right of it (with the name GameSphere Comic), and doesn't leave me with ~600pixels to fill for a 2nd logo. The main logo is still incomplete. It will be flash with an animation (slightly fading halo) with an easter egg - a funny when you click it. Right now it might as well be an image though...
- The comic is about 2 guys and a spherical gaming console. Because of this I tried to use some rounding (top, bottom comic navigation and 2/3 ideas for main navigation).
- It fits on 800 pixels wide (it's actually only 746px, so scrollbar, borders, etc will fit). Yes, that's archaic, but today's browsers (FF3, IE7, Opera, ...) have zoom anyway.
- in case you were wondering: the comic uses "Gill Sans MT" for the gamesphere, and "Georgia" for the humans. Fonts for the text on the website (comics info below tower ad; author/translator comments at the bottom):
Code:
font: 14px "Gill Sans MT", Georgia, "Lucida Sans", "Lucida Console", Arial, Helvetica, "Times New Roman", Times, sans-serif;
- I still haven't chosen a single font for the navigation (I should probably use the same font for both, no?) See what I'm trying to decide between: http://comic.gamesphere.com/fonts.htm
