hi, i would be happy to use some darker colors, BUT only people placed in the top 5 can submit new entries in this phase of the contest. As it stands now, since my entries on not rated, i cannot submit. You would have to put at least one of my designs in the top 5 at least temporarily. If you do that, please also let me know if you want to see both of them in darker colors, or any other instructions about what you would like to see.
One more thing, if you send me a Private Message, instead of using the comment area on my entries page, I will be able to contact or answer you directly---something designers cannot do unless they have been contacted through private message (anytime) or are in first place in the last part of the contest.
