For the ones who already have seen this : It's my mistake! I have edited it, but couldn't fix the previous image (it didn't want to change on the gallery), so I've deleted it, I'm very sorry for the ones who had already seen it....
Anyway, thank you very very much for your help everybody, I reworked it according to your critiques!
Previous version can be seen here

I know there still are some flaws, but I think I'm done with this one... Maybe I'll edit it some day, but I'm calling it done for now.
I hope you'll like it!
