    Ah, glad you think it's better. Was on the fence about using glitches, but I think it turned out well. They're great creatures aren't they? Whoever thought them up needs a raise... And therapy.

    I saw you asking about help in the recognized thread so I thought I'd throw some advice out there.

    • Your presentation style is great and original, but I personally think things are ordered slightly oddly. Maybe experiment with something a bit different? I know most people like the standard Stats, Gameplay, Equipment, Roleplay, Specials style, like Mason/Ponty use. You don't need to copy that exactly, just group the gameplay stuff together, as a lot of it is spread out.
    • Art and graphics could do with some work. Some of the artwork is pretty average (I know finding Weeping Angel artwork will be struggle, so maybe just stick with screenshots if you can get them), and the Abilities icons are fairly bland. I suggest Guild Wars, WoW, or some other MMO for more exciting icons.
    • That being said, you did do a good job selling this. Other than the listed advice I can't really think of much you could do to improve this. This site just doesn't know quality when it sees it!

    I see what you mean about my write-up being a bit off... Categorising it has proved to be a tough job, but I'll certainly see if I can group it better.

    Art has been a problem with this from day one, it seems! Almost any art associated with the weeping angels is greyscale, and I'd like some colour to brighten up the page... I'll take a few more screens and re-check Deviantart, see where it gets me. 

    Thanks for the sage advice man, and for the praise  : D

    You've made a lot of great improvements since I last looked at this. 

    I like the inclusion of in game screenshots, and I notice you've replaced some of the artwork with better ones. The first art piece with the title looks pretty bland. Its the only art piece one is able to see before scrolling down. With that in mind you want it to be something awesome that grabs attention and that title art just doesnt do it. Theres a lot of Doctor Who fans out there and Weeping Angels are seriously the creepiest thing ever put on television, so fan art of some kind shouldnt be impossible to find. That bottom image is another one to replace. It falls well short of filling the margins and just makes that bottom chunk of the build feel so bare. 

    Format wise I feel your sections are in a bit of disarray and could use a better flow. For example your equipment section falls well into the middle of the build, and you're discussing advanced mechanics early in the build. Follow a more easy to follow progression starting from the most simple aspects of the build (race, stats, gear) leading into the more complex concepts (vampire glitches, slow time extension, special abilities)

    While you're reorganizing your build try there are some sections you ought to elaborate more on. Elaborate  a bit more on your stone choice and stat distribution as well as your skill choices. The most important questions to answer is why did you pick this and how does it contribute to the build?

    Lastly just keep building. You're definitely quite good at this if you ask me. It takes a few builds to really start turning head around here, but the likes really start to pick up once you've earned a reputation for quality.

    Thank you for taking the time to look this over, Curse!

    To address the pictures- you're absolutely right, there is a lot of art out there, and I've already found several fitting pieces which I'll work into the build. Fixing the write-up is going to take some thought; I don't want to make it too lengthy. However, I see what you're saying about the disjointedness of it, and I'll get on it.

    Thanks a ton Zuraha! Are you a Dr. Who fan? I'm rather wondering how this build comes across to those who are less familiar with weeping angels as creatures.
