Mr Bohannan

And here is your first review as well! Hehe Considering this is your first graphic, I have to say that you have done a good job with the little you've done with the puck render. You have figured out how to bend the text in a circle and how to make it feel like it is a properly signed first goal puck. I give you extra points for the originality of the graphic idea as I have not seen this before. Rating: 7/10

1. With the first 11 games in the books are you happy with your players performance? - I am very happy as Matt is doing a brilliant job helping the team and showing upon top leaderscores. 2. With the team being 6-3-2 are there any early adjustments you think the team should make? - It's too early to consider any adjustments as there is still a long way to go and more games ahead to analyse. 3.With Dookie Headtop being the top point getter in the league right now, what is your reaction to that? - All good, bit jealous! 4.Who do you think deserves the Captain “C” this season? - To be fair I have not thought about it. 5. What is your go to dessert? - Oat Cookies 6.What is your favourite video game right now? If you play games. - I guess New World.

The Junior Showcase Tournament could not have went better. Royals, the team that Matt was representing, ended up going all the way and becoming the gold medallists of the tournament and on top of that Matt ended up being the top point earner in the whole tournament. He was feeling good about himself and he knew that he showed himself from the best possible way he could. Now it was time to see how did it impact the both, VHL and VHLE drafts. The first was VHL draft and considering that that is the big league and he would not play in it for at least two seasons, he knew that he is not gonna be the first round pick, but he was hoping to go at a good pick. As per his wish he got drafted with the 33rd overall pick in VHL draft into London United. When it came to VHLE draft, a league where he could move up next season, things had a weird turn. Already 50 picks were made and still Matt did not hear his name. Players that felt like are way worse in what they offer and their on-ice skills, went before him, so it was a massive feeling of confusion, what's happening? Why VHLE GM's were not interested in him. 78th overall pick came and he finally heard his name being called. Not happy and not sad, just confused he promised he would rip the VHLE league and show what everyone slept on!

Not sure have I seen the first one and probably I haven't, but it's all about this one right now. If you would like to compare this piece with some other pieces that we have seen on this forum, then I would say that this is an avarage piece, but, there is always a but. It's average from the perspective of skillset used, but as a whole graphic it is actually very nice and above average. For me this is one of those very simple, but still a nice graphic that hits all the spots and you don't really mind it. Jersey swap is done very good, the little design pieces are adding to the whole composition and overall it is a super balanced and nice piece. Great job! Rating: 7/10 (7 compared to other graphics, 8/10 on its own).

Very nice, very painting-y, overall super cool piece. I wish I could actually give any pointers or anything for this review, but pieces like these are over my own skillset so I simply cannot say nothing that could make this signature better than it already is. It gives me this dreamy vibe and overall I like the colour choice. I would say the colour choice is a safe one as it is a very common combination. The text is OK as well and knowing that texts are always something that could be done better, Im not even gonna really touch on it. I must ask tho - do you see this specific style of graphics your style or you just find it easy to make or what is the reason you are staying in the same lane with every work you make? Rating: 8/10

What is something you couldn't live without? - Feeling of being needed What is one thing ritual you do before every game? - I listen to one specific song. What song? It's a secret! What is your favourite pre-game meal? - Strawberries with sugar and milk. Need to keep it light. If you had to play another sport what would you play? - American Football What is your go to shoe when you're relaxing? - Not sure what does shoe has to do with relaxing or I dont understand the question. If you could put a team anywhere in the world where would it be? - Chernobyl and call them - Chernobyl Atoms

Signing up!

Oof what a game!

When Matt moved to states to join the league and move on with his career as a player he never thought what kind of opportunities this decision will bring him. He did leave a lot behind him, back home, all his friends and family for this opportunity, but all he wanted was this one chance and he got it when he signed the contract with Saskatoon. The season was over and Matt was following the training routines as instructed by his teams personal trainer when the first opportunity came. It was an invitation to join the Junior Showcase Tournament draft pool. The purpose of the tournament was to showcase the new talents for the upcoming drafts for VHLE and VHL. At first he did not think he wants to go into these two drafts, but he realised that this tournament gives him a chance to really showcase his skills to the big teams and he also knew that next year we wont be eligible for it, so it was either now or never. He reached back and said yes and soon was on the way to represent Royals team in the tourney.

1. Who is the person you like the most on your team? and why? - Just yesterday and today got drafted by two new teams, so still to find out in the future. 2. Who will win the Cup in the NHL this year? - Dont watch NHL, so have no clue... 3. Why did you choose that name for your player? - It was a name I used in a GTA5 roleplay and I find this sim league to be sort of a rp as well. 4. Where would you like the next expansion team to be? - I think Asia deserves to have a team. 5. What is you favorite logo in the VHLM? why? - Saskatoon Wild, cuz they drafted me! 6. What is you favorite logo in the VHL? why? - London United, cuz they drafted me! Haha

Alrighty, I like what I see. First of all cool to see something else than a signature, but I guess it is more expected during the time of graphics. I think your piece is a very good example how you can actually make good quality stuff without big fancy photoshop knowledge. You have not done really nothing in terms of effects, but the piece looks classy and high quality. I always say that as long as the work looks good and is work of quality, it does not matter how many effects or how many hours you have spent on it. Great job, nothing to add or take. Rating 9/10

Hello, hello, Im here to review your piece of graphic. I like that you have kept the same colour scheme all around the signature and every effect you've added fits the color theme, so you couldn't really go wrong with that. Maybe you left the right corner bit too empty considering how busy you made the left one. I like the background sheet or paper thing and the text idea is nice, but as someone who has no idea what player this siganture is for (if I dont read the name of the topic), then the text becomes just a background piece and you could have written anything there and it would not change a thing for those who also dont know. All that being said it is a decent piece and I like it. Rating 7/10

Season was over and Matt was very happy about his performance and the performance of the team, after all Saskatoon finished as one of the top teams and made their way into the playoffs. It was a very big deal for Matt as this was his first season in the league and he had a lot to prove to himself and the fans of the team and the league as well. The performance during the season was good and he did not expect to lower the expectations during the playoffs. The first team that Sasky bois faced was Halifax and without issues we finished the series in 4:1 win. The mood was high and we were ready to take the cup, but unfortunately we hit the wall with the next opponent - Miami Marauders. With high morale the series started with 2:0 in favour of the Sasky bois, but after the first two wins they managed to do a 4:0 comeback and took the playoff semi-final with 4:2 win in the series. In the 6 games against Miami, Matt scored 5 goals which wasn't bad, but could have been better.

Alrighty, what can I say! I do agree that this is below average piece as literally everything is just kind of thrown on top of each other. I don't see no real attempt to merge the images you have used, but I will assume it could be due to the option that the software you were using had. But what I can see is that you have creativity and with more practice you could actually start making above average graphics. I do like the idea that you put into this piece and with better execution it would have been a good piece. A lot of space to grow, but you have a start! Rating: 5/10

From what I can tell this is like a part of multiple/set of graphics with the same slogan and they are more or less made in the same style. From what I can see the graphic is very simple. Nothing much is done there and the hardest thing is the jersey swap. That being said it does not mean that every graphic should be something hard or crazy with effects to look good. Overall I do like the graphic, but as you're going for the same style and use kind of same effects, then the main thing will be the stock picture that will decide how nice the overall graphic is, for example I much more prefer the piece you have in your signature than this specific entry.

If You Could Trade Fantasy Lives With Someone, Who Would It Be? - I will assume that you can swap with anyone...so I think I would go for someone wealthy, maybe famous, just to experience the life on other side of the economical spectrum that I live now. So let's go with - Jason Mamoa (idk haha) If You Could Erase One Event From VHL History, Which One Would You Erase? - Oof, haven't been here for that long to be able to pick something specific, so pardon me, but I wont be able to fully answer this question. What Was Your Favorite Toy As A Child? - I did not have many toys when I was growing up, but I guess it was like a small race car, actually had few of them, that I was playing with. Who Do You Most Like To Poke Fun At On Your Team? - Not really a person who likes to poke anyone, so no one I guess. Do you think you could teach hokey to aliens, do you think you could turn them into a winning team? - All depends how many legs and hands they have. When Do You Feel The Most In Control on the ice? - When my team is winning and the last seconds are counting down on the clock for the game to end. Would You Rather Have 10 Hobbies Or One Passion? - 10 hobbies, because any of them can turn into one passion, but one passion will never turn into 10 hobbies.

What’s something that can’t be found or bought on the internet? My bath water! What should the first Hockey League on another planet be called? Star Rink League If you put out a magazine, what would you name it and what would be in it? GAMERS BREAKOUT - gaming magazine that writes about anything gaming related. If you were challenged to a duel, what weapons would you choose? Words (yes, words are weapon). It would be a rap battle(duel). What villain do you really feel for? Coyote (Looney Tunes) What is the most interesting thing you could do with 400 pounds of cheddar cheese? Throw it all as one block out of the cargo plane and have cameras set up to film it as it smashes on the ground and do a slow motion video of it.

Going to other side of the world to play ice hockey in the best minor league in the world was not an easy decision, but that was where Matt's future was and he understood it. From the outside it might have seen like Matt had no troubles with adjusting to the new world and environment around him and he was all work and game of ice hockey, but although partially true, it did not go without some inner battles. It took Matt couple of weeks until he was more or less fine and even happy about where he was. It definitely became easier when he signed the contract with Wilds, therefore he knew he is safe financially and he will be taken care of while he's there. Then the competition came started to bother his mind. He was put on 2nd line, so he had some shoes to fill. With all the hard work, still, his knees were shaking before every game, right until he stepped on the ice. The first push off the ice, picking up the speed and feeling the wind blowing into his face, calmed him down and that's it, he was set. Now when the regular season is finished and looking back at Matt's individual stats, you can tell that he is fine and did very well for his very first season in this league!

The first thing is definitely the size of the picture. I mean I can see what's happening there, but just by default I wish it would be bigger. For what you intended to make you have done it and I like it. It's simple, but hits all the spots. Kudos to you for the work on jersey swaps. Not the cleanest work, but it's done and the image size maybe even helps. And one last thing is that I wish you would have put a bit brighter outline for "PHANTOMS", so it stands out a bit more on the black background. Also Im not sore why you squashed the header text. My rating: 7/10

Uuuu this is very nice! I like it alot! As a critique I could say that the text is fine for the surname as it is quite big and you can see all of it, but the John part is bit too small and the way the font is, it makes H and N blend quite together and with the background being blueish as well, same as the text, it blends together and makes it harder to read. Also I think I already did a review on one of your previous pieces and I think I mentioned this, but while the render is made beautifully, the background lacks a bit, but I like the "hidden" or "emerging" league logo mixed into the background. My Rating: 8/10
