Ermmm..well,honestly,I can't give you much advice,because I've never participated in one of these contests,but here's what I think:

1.-- the general look is kinda flat one,and from my experience,that's never something good
To give it more depth,try adding some impression of "light coming this way" with the help of gradients.
2.--The text at the top is too cartoony,you should make it look more...evil,demonish Also.the black spikes like things at the top would need some more work too.
3.--Maybe try to add some gradient to the text boxes...? :/

PS.: Well,that's just what I think,as I said,I'm no expert,just saying from common sense...
These comments were written with excedingly severe attitude,with professional,absolutely-flawless entry in mind! So if you don't want/need professional stuff,you can overlook them
For day-to-day/ordinary use,the entry looks great.

Okay. Thanks for the advice
I also thought I should change the font of the title.

I like it...if I knew what CSS was I could do better than "I like it" ^^

CSS (Cascading StyleSheet) is a programing language. Subscribed users can embed css on their journals.

Thanks for the comment

CSS isn't so much a programming language. It's more of a definition language. It defines how stuff is displayed on a page.

And this isn't bad for a start. I don't know why you picked Flash for display medium when a GIF would have sufficed. But that aside, your colour scheme needs some work. The mood text is very difficult to read for me, as is the font text when it fades into the black at the bottom. Might I suggest white for the general font colour (including the header)? And instead of black for the top part, maybe a dark red, or instead of fading from bright red to black, maybe a darker shade of red to black?

And the boxes aren't lined up. I know this is the effect you were after, but it might look better if they were more 'random', or more lined up.

Hope all this helps you, and good luck

I was too lazy to convert this to gif. :-/

Anyways, well, I tried your suggestions on the font color, the gradience and alignment. Thanks .

That's cool. As long as your final result is a GIF. dA doesn't allow flash in journals..
