  1. Hey, what can I say - not bad at all. Of course it is not a masterpiece what some people put out here, but for someone, Im assuming, who does graphics just for this league or as a hobby, I can see the work put into it. Maybe the whole thing is little bit too red and adding other colours would have been nice, but in general the composition is there and doesn't suck. The jersey swap is made quite well, at least in my books. I see that you tried to work on a good background and while it's not the worst, it definitely is not the best, but the idea could work with better execution. Kinda wish the metal plate background and the team line would blend together bit better. The text is quite large, but clean. Personally don't like the size of the piece, especially if it was like a signature. Review: 7/10
  2. The time was over, the time in Stockholm was over! It was a good season and you couldn't ask for a better ending, but it finally did come to end. Matt packed his bags, said his goodbyes to his teammates, some of them were moving to their new homes as well, so he knew he will meet them on the ice next season, just on opposite side, and got on the plane to fly home to London. After arriving home he did not get in contact with his team or the management, he just went home to spend some time with his family and friends. As he did not take a break during the Christmas and New Years week, he took a week off last week and put the training aside. Now when the self given holiday is over, it is time to get back to training and get back to get serious. Matt did not really follow VHL as he was focused on where he played and that really showed, but after paying a little bit more attention he got told that apparently London is a team that is one of the worst in league. Truth to be told it did not feel nice, but coming in as a champ, Matt has all the confidence that he needs to keep working hard and maybe putting London on the map. If not this season, then next season or season after that. No matter what it will be another hard season and hopefully one with a lot of rewards!
  3. 1. We are champions!! how do you feel? Feels good to get my first Trophy and with Vikings! 2. what are your plans for your day with the cup? Nothing really, Im happy we won and I got to lift the cup, but I dont plan nothing with it haha. 3. Did you expect us to pull away with the sweep? Not at all. 4. Did your player break any personal goals this season? Personal - all of them! As this is the first career season then he set the goals. 5. Are you expecting to play in the VHL next season? if so for what team? Yes, playing for, apparently, biggest looser - London 6. Is there anything Thad and I can do to make Stockholm a better experience for future Vikings? For me it was a great experience. I do not think that you can do better than winning the season!
  4. This one is a nice work indeed as some have already mentioned. It is clean and although not sure what is the exact purpose of it, it could definitely go as a poster or banner. Nice jerseys swap, nice background, like the colour as well, so overall very nice. The only thing is the font that you used for San Diego as the D and I in "Diego" first of all goes over each other and also the D looks more like a P, so in general it's weird, so I would probably look for a similar type of font, but one that does not have such weird effect.

  5. Uuuuu yes, I love this! The neony style is sick. Remind me of 80's and disco. A lot of old stuff is coming back into trends and to be fair I could see this to be something to come back with it. I dont even want to look for any faults, cuz it's just cool af, but I kinda have to. Sadly, but yet again, another signature that struggles a little bit with the text. The main one is understandable and visible, but I would like to see it bit more clearer, than it is right now, because the pink part is way too bright and makes it look overdone. And the secondary text - well I dont know what it says as I cannot properly read it. Rating: 8/10
  6. Dang are you flying home from the opposite side of the world or your purposely are taking the ferry to get drunk over the night? haha
  7. Deal!
  8. First of all I, Matt Avens, would like to say that me and Sirdsvaldis does not share the same view about the team or lifestyle. I never wanted to share my food with him and I never found it to be professional for GM's to give him booze. But hey, you don't choose your family and you stick with them until the end and that is exactly what we did these playoffs. Not a star performance but still eleven points in nine games, so more than 1 point on avarage per game which is totally fine considering the time given on the ice. Team did exceptionally well, running over Rome Gladiators like a train taking all four wins in four games. I think we also answered the question of who would win a fight of Roman Gladiator and a Viking. Vikings would deeeeeestroooy gladiators! The emotions are still surreal and it will take a moment to come back to earth after getting the first cup ever in his career, but fear not, this is only beginning of the amazing career that Matt is gonna have from now on! @FrostBeard
  9. 1. We are tied 1-1 as of right now in our series, what do we need to adjust to pull away and win this series. Wouldn't say we need adjustments, I think we just need to stay focused and not make mistakes! 2. Are you confident entering the playoffs? Always! My war paint is already applied! 3. who does your player model their game after? I dont have no one specific in mind to be fair. 4. Where is your favourite place to be in the world? Home in my bed! Haha 5. coolest place you have ever been? Not really a traveller so dont have nothing fancy to answer this question. 6. what is the 'weirdest' food combination that you like? Sweet chock chip cookie with tomato juice
  10. Alrighty, as soon as I saw the threads name I had to go and check out what my fellow countryman has made. Let me start of with saying that looking at the piece, unfortunately, I cannot look at it as a signature as for it to be a signature type of piece it lacks things. What I see it is a jersey swap and for that I can give you rating because it is really not a bad swap to be fair. Of course the main team logo could have been blended in with the jersey better to not feel it's that obvious of a sawp, but that's about it for me. If we try to look at it as a signature then I would suggest you to work on your font choice, because for now I dont think they are the best ones. Also, not sure is it beginners thing or something, but I would use stroke in rare situations. Rating: 7/10 for the swap
  11. Hahha, okey, I see you! Let me start with a fact that will make a lot of people hate me - not a Star Wars fan. I wont give you points for the video editing as it's nothing original and Im sure if I would love to I could find such template ready to be rendered with my own text, but I will definitely give you points for the creative originality and that outro PS exploding Hulk Hogan! Overall I find it cool and funny! Raiting: 8/10
  12. The time has finally come and Stockholm Vikings have secured their place in the upcoming VHLE playoffs and Matt cannot wait for it. With a strong and solid finish at the end of the season Stockholm Vikings are one of the favourites to take all of the season. The season could have been better as Matt hit some cold strike, but hopefully by the time when the team is getting on the ice, the cold strike will be long gone. Matt is ready for the fight and ready to destroy anyone who comes near him. Also a fun fact, Matt, managed to finish his regular season shot amounts at 420 which he find funny. Also sad fact that Matt was pushed out of top10 score list which is a little bummer, considering that Matt promised to beat his secret rival, but in the end Matt fell behind when his competition continued to grow. Now lets wait and see how Matt is gonna be doing in the Play-Offs and he would not be against opportunity to be the best.
  13. 1. How was your Christmas if you celebrate? if not how is your holiday going! Christmas was as usual as I dont really celebrate, but we usually would make more fancier dinner, same we did this year. Spent some time with family, so it was good! 2. We are on a 9 win streak, do you believe we can finish number 1? Nothing is impossible! 3. How do you feel about your players performance thus far into the season? I am happy with my players performance, but I feel he could have done way more. Quite few cold games from Matt. 4. worst gift you have ever received? A mobile phone VR set. 5. Best gift you have ever received? Radio with a cassette player when I was 11. 6. What is your big goal for 2022? I don't know, at the moment I'm thinking to maybe start little workout for a week and see how it goes. Get in shape I guess?
  14. Ummm this is not a good piece in my eyes. Feels like a very quick job, something that you did just to do it. Although I know that not everyone deals with graphics and the skill levels are different, I hope that you're not trying to claim 6TP with this, because it's not worth that much compared to some other people graphics. I would love to give you more feedback and how to improve, but sadly I have no clue where to start, because all I see here is render, background, text and explosion I guess? Try to work on blending these components together more naturally. Rating: 4/10
  15. Okey, I definitely like what I see. Love the graphic overall. The little outline of the player is very nice touch, the jersey swap (if not mistaking) is quite good and even there is a lot of red I still enjoy the overall piece and it kinda fits. Also the text, although small, fits in well and compliments the graphic. Well done! Rating: 8/10
  16. After some hard work put into the training, Matt, had some good games, but also some quiet ones. Now everyone is enjoying their Christmas with family and just in general spending their time with the loved ones, but at the same time it's hard to forget that only 12 games are left before the regular season is done. For now it seems that Vikings will be playing in the playoffs, therefore the season will continue, but nonetheless after that, Matt will move back to London and represent his home town in the biggest hockey league there is. From one perspective it will be hard to say goodbye to the guys Matt played with this season, same as it was with Mexico and Saskatoon before, but from the other side it is a needed step-up. So far, unfortunately, after one season Matt has been moving to the next team, so he cannot say he has found his home yet. In London it will be different because that is his hometown and he has a home there and his family, but it is important that he stays to play for London and is not traded away, at least not after one season, like all the seasons before.
  17. Okey, okey, I feel you. A little tribute piece, not bad at all, good attempt with obvious areas to improve. Like the idea of the player render and then like an action picture from the game in the background. Text is not bad at all. Maybe there is too much of the black parts that could be replaced with something else. Yeh, not too shabby, good piece for a beginner. Rating: 7/10
  18. Alright, very nice scratchy style signature. I like the idea, just would like to see something bit more, because right now all there is for me is the player render and text, the background is nothing. Maybe something in the background and not the black part would make the signature to pop out way better. Rating: 6/10
  19. 1. What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated? - Really depends on what player you're building. But I would say Checking. 2. The NHL has the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. What should the name of that trophy be in the VHL? - White Dove Trophy 3. Who do you think deserves to win the award this year? - Whoever deserves them. May the best win! 4. Who do you think is your team's MVP this season? - The whole team! Without each other no singular player would be MVP. 5. What is your favorite holiday? - Christmas I guess. 6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team? Tbilisi
  20. Hahah, I was typing this in middle of the night after hard shift and I as falling asleep, literally passing out as I was typing. Im not even sure what I wrote there and how many mistakes I made and how dumb the whole thing sounds like, because I kid you not, I was re-reading first half of sentence, 3-5 times if not more, because I would pass out mid-read, trying to understand what Im writing and trying to say. When it comes to the minutes, I wanted to ask, but then realizing that I have like 20 games left, I decided not to be bothered as this is the first and only season Im gonna play in VHLE anyways. I dont think my player is not ready for big minutes as he was already playing them and thats why he is the teams scoring leader and top10 in league.
  21. All over the world people are slowly pulling out their Christmas jumpers and fake Christmas trees, decorating them and slowly moving into the festive season of the year. Sadly for Matt it was not an option. For unknown reasons he already was sent backs o 3rd line, putting in less minutes on the ice than before and not really being much of an asset. For Matt the changes did not make no sense, because he was putting up great numbers, but for some reason he ended up being so low. For Matt it meant only one thing - work, work, work. All his plans were out of window, because he couldn't give no benefit to himself or the team. The good part tho was that the team was still doing good and if they keep playing the same way, then playoffs are guaranteed. It has been few seasons since he played in playoffs and it was time to change that and make the playoffs with the team. (p.s
  22. A lot of yellow haha. I can see that you had the right idea in your head and the render is attempting to blend together with the background and I would say it somehow does a little bit. Like the idea with the biceps and the crown. Text is very simple and bland, so it could use a little bit more work. At least different font. Review: 6/10
  23. First of all it is good to see that you're self critical and know that your skills are not the best. That being said - wow! Although you said this is your pathetic attempt, this attempt is way better than some of the other stating graphic designers. You did a lot of things in the piece and I cannot say nothing bad about it, so good job mate! Continue the same way and you will learn and become better at what you do. Rating: 7/10
  24. 1. We cannot seem to win when it comes to OT, what do think we need to do when it comes to closing games? Close it in regular game time! 2. If we took a team vacation and you got to choose where we go, where would you take us? Somewhere new. To a small country that no one has paid attention to. 3. If you could have one super power what would it be and why? Either copy cat or super smarts. 4. How do you feel about putting pineapple on pizza? Dont hate it, dont love it, I just dont care! 5.If animals could talk, which would be the rudest? Cats 6. How is your favorite NHL team doing this year? Dont have one, so great!
  25. Team was active and played strong, making a lot of close games. Management continued to look for deals and manage to secure some good player trades, making the team stronger that ever. The question was - will the new player be able to adapt quickly to the new team and teammates and offer any good power to the already existing one within Vikings. Besides that Matt kept his head down and fully focused on the games, but unfortunately things started to not go the way he would have hoped. He slowly started to see similarities between Vikings and the Kings. The season, same as with Kings, started on a very good note and Matt was doing super good too, but then midway season things changed, same as they are now right now with Vikings. The team started to struggle to win. All the games were close, but mainly loses and the team slowly started to lose their position in standings. In the end Kings were fighting for the last spot for the playoffs and did not get it. One thing Matt does not want to see is the history to repeat itself, so he is determined to do all he can to not have the same experience he just had, last season.
