  1. 1. Where are you and what are you doing?

        I am in Las Vegas, eagerly awaiting tomorrow's VHLM draft! I've been training incredibly hard and can't wait to see where I'll end up this year.

    2. Who is your favorite fictional hero?

        James Bond without a doubt. Smart and tough, always has a way in and a way out.

    3. What is your greatest fear?

        Not being remembered.

    4. Tell us a secret about yourself?

        I was named after my grandfather's pet toad.

    5. How would you like to be remembered?

        As being the greatest Welsh hockey player ever, and one of the greatest in the world.

  2. Review: I think this is definitely an improvement from the last one I saw of yours. I can tell that you're trying new things and I hope you continue to experiment and improve! I agree with what Motza said, and I'll add that I'd like to see you try to add some stocks on top of the render/text. That would really help bring the entire piece together. Keep at it!

  3. Review: Everything that Motza said is bang on. I'll add that I like the effects you did with the text, but a different font may work better, or at least making it smaller. I really like the background, nice smudge work. The only thing that's really wrong here is the focal, the eye is drawn too much to the text and not enough to the render.

  4. Review: This is pretty sweet. The torn effect is cool, but I think it would've been better without the drop shadow. Text actually works really well, and I like the background and pattern work. Lighting is nice. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

  5. Review: I agree with everything Motz added above. I'm not sure what software you're using, but I'd like to see a few more elements put into the graphic next time. Try overlaying different "stocks" i.e. images that can create different effects on top of the signature. Things with lots of contrast or interesting lighting are usually great starting points. Let me know if you have any questions, and keep at it.

  6. Review: Welcome to the graphics world! In the beginning just work on experimenting and trying new things without trying to perfect anything. I dig the contrast effect between the player and the background. The text doesn't really fit with the look. Everything is clean apart from the text. Look around the forum for inspiration and resources, and keep working at it!

  7. Review: This has a few elements that I really like. The overall colour scheme is consistent and executed well. I would have liked to see the light source at the top right blended in a bit more. Maybe set it on Soft Light or Overlay. I like the clipping mask on the text. Good work overall, keep at it.

    Latvia: that has no subject or a verb. Or move to Cardiff and make a risk: has a verb but no subject.

     

    A colon can be used to introduce an item or list when it follows an independent clause. 

     

    “Or move to Cardiff and make a risk.” has an implied subject, as the preceding clauses gave the context that the subject was my player.

    Review: This is a great start to writing it would be much nicer if it was put into sections. If there weren’t so many small paragraphs. Should use some more pictures for so much paragraphs. Some sentences where incomplete like Latvia. Also Or move to Cardiff and take a risk. Of course that last one is a type of incomplete sentence that most people use. The first thing Wales seemed very small and when I went over it a 2nd time was the first time I saw it oddly enough. 5.3/10 I may or may not read it again. Overall good start. 

     

    Thanks for reading. Neither of those are incomplete sentences, though.
