REVIEW Shit is clean. Render looks good, the jersey change looks good. Blurring adds depth, the stocks are subtle but compliment the sig well, and normally I hate script texts, but this one works well with the sig and is pretty readable. I would've maybe positioned it so the text doesn't end with the A of the jersey.

REVIEW You've got the basic concepts of graphic design down (layering, layer properties, opacity, etc.) I think the graphic is a little crowded. IMO the lindberg jersey throws off the flow/composition of the signature, and the cutting/cropping/blending of it could use work (the weird glow to the upper-right of the jersey and between the arms/torso) I like the text work of the S66 Ottawalynx/41st overall, specifically the "negative space" characters. I think the player name would've looked between / more signature like without the stroke. The sig could use a consistent light source that affects all of the components (render/background/stocks/text).

REVIEW classic BOOM piece imo. I like the exposure/adjustments of the source viking image, and the text is simple/clean/effective, and composed/positioned nicely. I've seen your shatter tech before, and I've seen you do it better.

REVIEW Pretty decent blending work of the logo onto a cloth/jersey material stock. IDK why it has to be so massive though.... should've just went all out and made it wallpaper dimensions... but I can also see some quality loss in the logo, due to the huge scale of it. (specifically the text). Clean looking piece though imo. Not the most technical, but it looks nice and I like the weird corner composition/positioning of the logo.

REVIEW Not a huge fan of the dimensions. IMO forum signatures should be like 400 width x 200 height, but your dimensions aren't that far off. I like the text work, it's clean/effective, and your use of multiple fonts/sizes/colours and a sub-text that compliments the main text, looks good. I'm personally never a fan of "corner locked" text, or text that borders the edge of a sig. IMO if you would've had 'MICHAEL GARY' end right @ the bottom of the red color block of the left arm, and had SCOTT overlaying the render, it would be positioned better. Jersey change looks decent. The red lighting is a bit overpowering and gives the render a lower-quality look. Not too shabby though..... and you know you should only post 1 Graphic PT per week, right? I think you posted this AND the white/over-exposed michael gary scott graphic on the same tuesday.

REVIEW I like the composition and idea of the piece. I think the text work is clean, and your colouring is decent. My only complaint is how washed out the sig is. The exposure/brightness is so high, that everything is kind of just a bright blur.... Also, IMO if you would've masked out the boards/background and just made the background all white, that wouild've made for a cleaner/more appealing end result imho.

REVIEW Alright, it's way too "washed out". The overlaying gradient/ blue&green soft stock results in the image looking lower quality, and you lose basically all the detailing of the face. The team logo and text are just slapped on haphazardly and are both floating off in their own worlds. The dimensions are too big for a forum signature, forum sigs should be like 400 pixel width x 200 pixel height. I like that you picked a uniqueish font, but the font/text work itself is extremely lacking. It's just white font with no editing/effect done to it. Also, it's really as big & brighter than the render (player) which takes the focus away from the player, which IMO you want as the focal point of the piece.

REVIEW It's wayyyy too big. One of the most fundamental basic skills of graphic design is re-sizing images/renders/text/etc to make your graphic a "usable" resolution. Huge images like this don't work for message board signatures. The jersey change is done, but it's done very very very amateurly. First, the nighthawks logo is wayyyy too big, no hockey jersey has a logo that takes up basically the entire torso. IMO you made it so huge, so you could easily cover the existing logo.... A more advanced jersey change would involve CLONE STAMP / SOFT HEALING BRUSH tools to "erase" the existing logo, and then placing/sizing the VHL logo to about the same size as the original "source logo". When you place a VHL logo on a jersey, you want to use the free transform tool (specifically, rotate, scale, perspective, skew, and WARP) to adjust the logo and make it fit more smoothly with the jersey. Finally, your cropping/masking of the "space stock" looks very rushed and poorly done (you can see the hockey rink background of the original image, and the top of the players helmet isn't visible). The text is also very very basic/low effort. IMO you want to use a bold/clean text when you are first learning. Something like LEMON MILK or BABA NEUE or HELVETICA, instead of weird/wild "design" fonts. Most font work involves duplicating the font layer 2-3 times, and changing the colours/"layer effects" on each of the text layers, and moving them a few pixels up/down/left/right, to create an effect. (even a simple DROP SHADOW or STROKE can work and make text look half decent)

6-What does your name mean?I ripped it from the Godzilla film series. Jet Jaguar first appears in the 1973 movie GODZILLA vs. MEGALON. 7-If you could jump into a pool full of something, what would it be? I would jump into a pool full of tpe, so my player could reach superstar status in the VHL and finally get THE CALL TO THE HALL. 8-How do you relax after a hard day of work? I head to Tim Hortons and grab an extra large coffee with two cream and two sugar, then smoke some marijuana on my way home, grab my desktop computer and listen to KPOP while browsing sim leagues and watching twitch and YOUTUBE. 9-What’s your favorite Disney movie?Cool Runnings... unless the question is asking for like a traditional animated Disney film. If that's the case, A Goofy Movie. 10-If you could keep any animal as a pet, what would you choose?I would pick my good friend and sim league legend @Rent A McZ as my pet. I would feed him MEAT and occasionally let him play with BALLS. 11-Where do you think you are going in the draft (round and team) Probably first round in the pick 3-8 range. No teams have really even PM'd me, so I couldn't even guess. Whichever team it is will probably regret it though. *runs away crying*. Stockholm Vikings with the 3rd overall pick.

In terms of the battle itself, that was pretty damn epic for television. I thought the episode was lit af. Ending was meh. Of course I would've preferred Jon Snow 1v1'ing the Night King out in an epic honorable duel, but it is what it is. Arya is an important character and has probably had the most character development of anyone in the show and I can somewhat believe the "miracle" circumstances of her killing the Night King in terms of the story. You have this unstoppable powerful force like the Night King, and you basically need a miracle to happen to somehow overcome it. It works for me, ish. The feels for Jorah and Theon though.

Congrats @Kylrad

1) Can you explain what the National Crystal Meth Hallucination League is? How do I join it? What's the URL? 2) Have you played for every single VHL franchise yet (aside from the expansion teams)? Which VHL franchises have you not played for? If there are any, which one do you want to cross of the list the most? 3) Blonde, Brunette, or Redhead? Do you like girls with short hair (like buzz cut short)? I certainly do. (pause) 4) Are you exceedingly wealthy irl? I don't know why, but whenever you say you're buying a plane ticket to Canada to come run the fade with me, I believe you. That flight prob costs a couple grand, at least, you know. 5) Besides BOOM and UZI what other aliases have you used on sim leagues? Anything notable? Thanks!

Welcome back, Phil! 1) Why did you go with the Marleau surname? Just because you are old as piss? 2) Which of the two expansion VHL teams (Moscow Menace or Malmo Nighthawks) do you like more? Criteria is up to you. 3) Will Phil Marleau be a HoFer at the end of his career? 4) Have you had a chance to use the new vhlportal system yet? Huge improvement to the old "update" procedure of forum posting or nah? 5) Who's going to win the Stanley Cup in the NHL this post-season and why is it the Colorado Avalanche? ty
