Just wanted to chime in here. I had a good time in Saskatoon as GM and had an especially fun season last year. This season my activity has dropped due to external factors and I didn't think it was fair to any players on the team to have a shitty GM. I'll still be sticking around as a grader and as a member. Good luck to all applicants, it seems the franchise is in good hands.

yeah wrote Marquis twice. It was incredible to see all of them do so well.

The whole event was incredible. Marquis had a really rough run, as well as Marquis. A sweep would have been crazy but Gold and SIlver is amazing.

Myriad Pro

Effort: 2/2 - Sure Look: 2.25/3 - I cannot justify this sig getting a 6..weak text, weird lighting, render looks flat. The few random dots add nothing and the Multiplied purple stock gives the whole thing a strange look. Creativity: 1/1 - I suppose. Final: 5/6

Effort: 2/2 - yessir. Look: 2.75/3 - Not a huge fan of this, but it's pretty good. Text is not great. Just not a nice font in my opinion. Blending is nice but colouring is a bit off. Creativity: 1/1 - Indeed. Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Keep it up. Look: 2.75/3 - Yeah render looks good as well as lighting. Text is kinda meh, I think it would've been better without the background, and maybe just the same text but black underneath moved over 1 or 2px. Creativity: 1/1 - Mhm. Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yep, you're putting in good amount lately. Look: 2.25/3 - Cool idea and layout, but the execution is lacking. The stocks could be blended better and you need to focus on lighting. Maybe read about lighting in photography to understand the idea behind it. Creativity: 1/1 - For sure. Final 5/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yep, nice work. Look: 2.5/3 - It's decent. Nice effects but the composition is lacking. Right side is way too plain considering the rest. Creativity: 1/1 - Cool stuff Final: 6/6

Not really on par for Squinty imo. Colouring and lighting is nice but it falls behind compared to your other stuff.

Yeah I tried a bunch of things with the text and this was the one I disliked the least.

big step backward from your recent stuff, not really sure what's going on here at all. too green, no focus, weird text. You can do better.

If someone wants to Co-GM with me in Saskatoon I'd be open to that.

Effort: 2/2 - Yep, I see enough but in here. Look: 2/3 - Good news is your text is sweet. Everything to the right of the render is pretty nice. The sig could be a lot less wide (around 400 is usually ideal). Try messing with some Gradient Maps and such to have your render blend in a bit more. Creativity: 1/1 - Yes sir. Total: 5/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yeah. Look: 2.5/3 - Hard to say with this one. I like the colouring and lighting is pretty good. Text is creative but I'm not sure how effect it is. Creativity: 1/1 - For sure. Total: 5.5/6

Effort: 2/2 - Great work, looking forward to seeing more of your stuff. Look: 2.75/3 - I really like this. Only downside is the render colouring in my opinion, his face sticks out a bit too much. Creativity: 1/1 - Really cool text work. Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yeah good jc, blends right in. Look: 2.5/3 - Really nice background, good lighting, decent colouring. Text isn't dazzling but it works. Creativity: 1/1 - fo sho Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - You're obviously capable of more but it's just enough. Look: 2.5/3 - On the fence with Coach as well. Over-sharpened and not much flow but it's got some good spots to keep it up. Creativity: 1/1 - Neat colouring Final: 6/6
