1 Christmas is finally here, what are you going to gift to your teammates? I am giving everyone the infamous "Soap on a Rope". 2 If your player could ask anything to santa, what would you choose? (more tpes? a new stick? or maybe a new team?) Peace on earth and good will to mankind. Oh, and front teeth. 3 What is your favorite christmas movie? (mine might be strange, but it is the gremlins) I really like the whole family to sit around the TV and watch some wholesome John Wick movies. Brings a tear to my eye everytime. 4 What is now your favorite christmas song? One of my favorites to listen to is Johnny Cash singing "Hurt". 5 What are you planning to do while the VHL is on a break for a couple of days? I think I will just keep to the training program I have and call it good. 6 Now, here an other hard question, if me and @16z had to fight santa and rudolf, who would win? Well Santa is a softie so nothing to worry there. Rudolf will go crazy and kick the shit out of you every time.

Review: A very good start to the world of making graphics. You will make mistakes as you learn but really, you did a fine job with an early attempt. The text/font work just fine and in time you will get even better at it. Text is the hardest part of a sig. If I had to give any tips or suggestions, it would be to learn to cut out your players. Mastering that is huge and will take you a long way. Great beginning. 7.5/10

Review: I really am a fan of this design. I love how you made this look. I like the mural look to it. You did everything right with this concept art piece as there is no wrong with this design. I hope to explore more of this style. I am a huge fan of this. Great job. 10/10

I just made a graphic, enjoy it or not. It's the holiday season. Let's all have fun and enjoy what we have.

Day 12. Happy holidays

It's that time of the year again. You know, you should be kind and happy around everyone. Being a banger of a defenseman, it's not easy to be friendly when you are knocking some other team's top forward on his ass. Our coach pulled me aside and told me to be kind when I am out there hitting players. So, for the sake of a friendly holiday season, I now knock you on your ass and then say “Thank you, have a safe holiday”. Seems to work as I feel the love from the opposing teams now more than ever. I got hit into the boards and the first thing out of that players mouth was, “Take that you goon”. What a great compliment to give. I felt all warm and fuzzy inside. Going forward, I think I will continue to “bond” with the players I hit. I think the league will be a better place if we all say something nice after a bit of roughing. Also, I went through a popular fast food restaurant the other day. When it was my turn to pay at the “next window”, the counter person told me the car in front of me paid for my lunch. What a novel idea. I was so impressed I drove back around, ordered another lunch, drove to the window and said. “The guy behind me is going to pay for my order”. I left and I hope that guy felt good about paying for my lunch. Main thing, stay safe over this holiday and steer clear of any of the crazy stuff going on in our world.

Review: Well this looks like a fun project. I think your design choices are solid. I like the background and the contrasting color palette. Text looks simple yet the effect and overall look of the text is great. About the only thing I would say that could have been worked on longer is lining up the logo swaps better. Getting the angles right is not easy sometimes and even when they are technically in the right spot, they sometimes look off. Oh, and get rid of the NHL collar logo. Great job, I really like this theme. 9/10

Review: I really like this design. You did a good job with the shoulder patches. Background looks fitting and overall the format looks balanced. I think the font and text looks good though maybe a small contrasting inner shadow or glow would make it stand out a bit more. Great job though. 9/10

1. Very normal in this league to have a few bumps on the road to the cup. 2. I would play our game with the great players we have. Nothing needs to be changed. 3. The fans of course. 4. In the shower or the actual locker room? 5. The hat that holds 2 beer cans and has a straw to drink them with. 6. I am afraid the lynx would take your lunch money.

I can't believe the season is half over. Time flies when you are winning, and losing. It's been a fun trip so far and I hope everyone in the minors has a blast and makes some memories. I remember my first player and playing for Halifax. It was a good time that I will not forget. I made many friends at that time. I can't remember many of them but I remember learning the ropes and respecting the work of others as they climbed the TPE ladder. It was a good time for sure. Now, a couple of players later, I am really enjoying the whole minor league experience. It seems strange to go from and fairly successful center to a low skilled defenseman but looking at it long term, I feel it was a player I needed to make. Checking hasn't been a skill I have ever invested in so I thought I would see where it takes me with this player. So far so good. I like his play style in this early stage and I have his build planned out when he moves up a league. I hope I will find the same fun times in the next league as I have in the minors. Stay safe everyone. Happy Holidays.

Review: Well you have a couple of interesting elements going on. One is that you made a nice vignette which looks proper. Another thing I like is your text. Very clean and easy to read. Your logo swap needs work as it looks like you fit it to the text and not the player but things like that comes with time. You should also start cutting your renders and creating a background. It looks like you have some skill, can't wait to see how you progress. 7/10

Review: I like the texture effect you used on this graphic. Overall I like your design. Logo swap looks a bit large and sharp but not horrible. I wish you could have kept his stick intact as it looks odd. The text isn't bad but some sort of outline or drop on it would make it stand out more. The border is a nice touch that adds to this graphic. Good job. 7.5/10
