Stuck, what to do next? Options

Not quite sure if this is the right forum, or if this should go in Graphics Help or something, so please correct me if I'm wrong.



It's a new site layout for my resource site, Dreamscape. Comments on it are what I'm planning to do when I code it.

For some reason, it doesn't feel quite..... complete. I'm happy with what I have now, for the most part, but I feel like there's something missing. Any ideas?

The part I'm unsure about is the "lightning" (the bits coming out from behind her, and also the one wrapped around her sword). Does it look okay? Too cliched or whatever? My brother mentioned that it looked more like Lifestream than lightning. <_<

Major inspiration from Esaudre and Angel's designs on Skyefairy.
