Description So, for the past couple of months, I've been working on a non-profit BNHA fan game project with a team of developers as the Head of 2D art. While I'm mostly working on character designs, I also lend a hand in other parts of the project where art is needed. 

The fan game team has put up a website for the game where people can check in for updates, create blogs, audition as voice actors for the game, and more! You can visit the site here: heroacademiabeyond.com/index.p…

Me, and a group of other artists were given the task to draw original art for the website. This is the banner I created for the main page. There are actually four color variants of this banner (the background), yellow, red, green, and blue. I've posted some of the other color variants on other sites, like Amino and Insta, but decided to post this one here cause the yellow background color is often used in the official art. So I feel it gives the image a more authentic look. 

One of the things that I aim for when drawing fan art is to make the art look as close to the original style as possible (unless I find the original style to be unappealing) and that's exactly what I wanted to do here. It's also better at keeping the art style consistent between different artists.

Sorry if I sound confrontational, but I think you really, really need to improve that site's UX (user experience). It will take some time maybe but in the end it will pay off.

When I was in high school and everybody had 56k connections, images loaded really slowly and pixel row by pixel row.
Some computer-savy friends put up a promotional page for the local disco and you got a blank screen until the page ended loading and then it showed all at once. People were amazed, look at how neat that was!
Fast forward 10 years, connections are way faster, therefore if you see a "blank" page people (like trickyrusher up here) just think the page is not working. I only stayed because I noticed the scrollbar, tried to reach the end of the page and luckily the page ended loading before my mousewheel decided to be cooperative again.

This is going to lose you potential new members before they even see what the project is about.
You are also going to harm your placement in search engines, because spiders (the programs that crawl the Internet collecting page addresses) will see the huge loading time and rate you low. (More info on that if you do a google search for SEO, earch engine optimization).

First thing you can do, add a "LOADING..." writing. Or a loading bar. Make it clear what's happening. This is easy to implement and breaks nothing.

Second thing you can (and really should) do, use incremental loading. Have your page load first whatever is in the currently visible area, then preload all the rest. (Look for "Lazy loading" plugins).
Compress all your images and previews using compressors like compressor.io , reduce your loading times and maybe have placeholder niftly colored rectangles display where the images are going to be loaded, just to keep the structure of the page unaltered during the loading process. (Search google for "Skeleton UI patterns" or "Placehold patterns").

I hope this was useful.

Thanks for the feedback! You didn't come across as confrontational, so don't worry. Your points are completely valid. I'll forward this message to the developers.

very cool, I am quite unfamiliar with the anime but I love the poses you've captured here (especially the characters' hands)!
The project is definitely lucky to have you on board and I wish you all good luck with the game!

Thanks! I love that you pointed out the hands especially since those are still a bit tricky for me to draw (depending on the angle), and I'm personally quite happy how the poses ended up looking
