Graphics

Transparent PNGs - The background colour used for the thumbnail is hideous. No doubt about that. The PNGs shouldn't have an extra grey glow on the back. If you are doing this to compensate for the bad extracting, don't. If anyone wants to make a downward shadow, they'll do it themselves, because 99% of the time, people don't use background shadows, and plus it's not that hard to make one. And I respect that you didn't bother to make another thumbnail picture for the PNGs, but it's very disturbing how they're all resized improperly. And if you made some thumbnails, it would make things clearer for the user to see what/who the PNG is.
Icon Brushes - I personally would never use your icon brushes only because they're so simple, I could type it up without going through the trouble of making it myself. And face it, it's not hard to make brushes, but it takes time to make good ones. Next time you make brushes, you should consider putting more effort than just convenience--all you did was have a bigger text or image with some small text that's been repeated so many times that makes the brush look very basic and plain. Don't always repeat the exact small text a billion times. Write a few sentences and repeat it and remember to add shape to the text shape, because it's too repetitive- and low-quality-looking.
Icons - You work really hard on your icons as shown in your work. Of course you still need some more time put into each icon and more detail, but you've got it made better than any of your other graphics/resources.
Icon Bases - They're not bad, but a lot of them are too close to the focused character's face. Which isn't necessarily good. But the ones that give some leeway are the ones I'd use.
Tutorials - Your text shouldn't be centered suddenly. Let it remain aligned left like the rest of your content text.
Wallpapers - They're too plain despite the fact that you've used many aspects of Photoshop. It's just a PNG with some brushes/patterns/textures. You need to put more effort into your wallpapers.

I really like the overall feel of the site. It brings a balanced sensation of happiness and charisma, but I would like to see more effort put into your resources that are put under the "Other Resources" section, because they seem to have less quality than the rest of your work. Instead of always working on icons, spend more time fixing up the little errors on the site and on the PNGs, brushes, and other resources you provide on the site.
I have really high expectations of you because I've seen and I know how much you can improve in a short period of time and I'm definitely impressed from the moment I met you and your site, I know there's something there. You're very artistic in your own blinding way, and I hope to see more of your beautiful work!
And P.S., hope this review wasn't too harsh! ;P

End of review.
