You aren't just using a colour scheme, you are also taking key design elements and aspects from that same source.
It shows a lack of creativity and effort on your part.

I have to agree with you there.

Although I really like the design, it is very unoriginal.
The top left text becomes hard to read when you get to the light part of the page.

You steal SoldierX's signature, his slogan, etc. You're doing nothing but making copies of his stuff. The point of Graphics is to be creative, not a thief.

I'd buy SoldierX's designs over this guy's. This guy, in all essence, is a phony. He takes all of his ideas, and just copies them all calls them his. It's plagiarism basically.

Yep, someone else also pointed that out. I'm thinking of adding a dark blue background behind the header so that people can see it when the background is a light grey color.

Nope. All of my work is done for other clients, I haven't found someone with a portfolio containing the exact work I've done. That would be cool though :P

You have a point, I used similar icons and the header of my website is almost identical to his shop header. So is my sig. Thank you for your feedback, and I will definitely try to be more creative and rely less on others with my future designs. :)

I'm not stealing his slogan or any of the work in his portfolio. I just took his color scheme and I loved how he had the icons with his location and profession, so I decided to stick that in my header as well.

And yes, the header of my site is almost identical to the one on his sales thread. I see why people would think that I completely stole his design.

As for your point about graphics, I can't 100% agree with you on that but you definitely have a point with the creativity aspect. :)

Thanks for the feedback, and as I said above, I will definitely try to be more original with my designs.
Thanks for the reply. You're talented, don't get me wrong, but I would love to see you do well, use your creativity and let your work flow out of you. Don't use others color themes, instead, make your own; that's being professional.
Long live The Empire,
forever in our hearts.
