Start
The origional skin I posted here yesterday, for a visual reference.

I shrunk down the header, and added a top navigation that the client asked for. I decided I didn't like it small. It lost a lot of character and friendliness, and I ran out of room for putting some kick ass drop downs on the nav.

Getting There...
So I ended up here, and I like it so far - I still need to add alot of detail here and there though. But I rearranged some characters and also added the kick ass drop downs I mentioned earlier - among a few other small details (like toads hand going over the nav now like he's resting on it
). For the people that said the header is too big - well it's only 350px and now holds 2 navigations (1 with a drop down) and thats also including the banner ad at the top of the page. I still have about 250px~ to work with to get a login/register box in there, and a good bit of content to get people to scroll down the page.
Anyway, let me know what you think of the progress...
Thanks,
Mike
