Review: Very nice artwork. This style really impresses me. You did just about everything right and the results are brilliant. It's not easy coming up with new ideas when it comes to graphics but you pulled a great design out of your bag of designs and ran with it. Great looking render with a really nice logo sway. The background really compliments the render as well and doesn't take away from it. The text is unique and the corner boxes really makes this graphic stand out, in a good way. Great job 9/10

Review: You are singing my song with this style of graphic. I think you did a fine job with this project. Photomanipulation doesn't become easier until you do a few hundred and learn some of the tricks. I would say all in all you portrayed your concept just fine. Blend modes are you friend when doing this style. Also masking is a big part of the process. Stick with this style and you will make some very good graphics in no time. It has good balance and I am impressed with the attempt. Text looks to fit in well with the rest of the graphic. Great job, do more. 9/10

The final game was played and of course the Moscow Menace finished near the very bottom of the league, as expected. Rebuilds are not all that fun really but the reward comes with sticking with it and seeing of all the new players and plans work as intended. I have my concerns going into next season with the influx of players but I am sure the GM will handle the playtime properly. We do have a much brighter future, I am not sure how we are all going to play together but I will cross that bridge when I get there. Looking back at the five years I have been in the league. I can say it has changed a lot. I am on my fourth player and am happy Gunner is following the same path as Merrick, Torq and LeGrande did. Work hard, fight for ice time and do your best. I had some really good times with all my players. Seattle was a team that really set the standard for me. Malmo hands down was the most active and for sure the most fun with the roster we had. Even though I had concerns of the experience level Kaleeb had, that was put to bed fairly fast once I got to know him more and his thought process. I will remember that team and the players we had. Moscow is got to be the most organized locker room I have been in. Kudos to Spartan for setting up things in there the way they are. Unfortunately that doesn't mean it's the most active with the players but tons of alumni are very active. Gunner won Rookie of the Year. I thought he had a good shot at it to be honest. It was up to the team to set him up in the position he was made for, and Spartan did, reluctantly. I am not sure of Gunner's future at this point. I am going to go into the next season with high expectations and will work hard to meet the bar I have set. I am sure of one thing. Gunner is in control of his own future. Word count: 361

Presser for the week ending 12/17 1. Who do you believe should be our team MVP this season? 2. What team do you remember beating this season? 3. If you celabrate Christmas, what's the top thing you would want? 4. With the playoffs coming up, do you see any upsets going to happen? 5. Do you like Gladiator movies? 6. Do you have a big feast for Christmas dinner?

I'm just making fun of the Hybrid system. I have adjusted to it.

I didn't even make a "Splash".......MUHAHAHAHA

It's Hard to Look Forward when you are Staring at the Past

Review: Another great multi render graphic to feast on. I like your take on this design. Multi render graphics are hard to pull off but I think you did a fine job with this one. I like how you made the background compliment your theme and renders. Your placement and fading of the rear render is spot on as it allows the front man to be the focal point. Great to see, or not see, the NHL branding has been removed. Something that too many don't bother with. Nice logo placement and all around good looking front render. Nice use of a motion blur, something I use often. It all seems to work. Job well done. 9/10

Review: I like this design concept. It really has a bold look and grabs your attention in all the right ways. Interesting render effect and I am not sure it needs more detail or a hint of color or it's fine the way it is. I always look for the focal point and this one is tricky. Your background with the wolf was well done. Your large number looks like it fits and has an excellent gradient effect. Your text follows the design and works well with the background. The render has some nice touches with the logo and even it's placement. Interesting to look at. Well done. 9/10

Damn, ten games to go in the season. Time does fly even when you lose most games. It's been a good season for a rebuilding/developing team. It seems to be easier to get tasks completed and not worry about skills being updated very fast when you know it really doesn't matter. Earning is the fun part and I am still impressed by how many players on the team do their best every week. It makes me feel good about the future, hybrid and all. I can see the team looking to flex a bit in the next season or two. We are in a tough conference but I think we will have a chance to beat up some older players. I wonder when the conferences will even out a bit when it comes to strength. North American first place team looks to line up in slot number five in the European conference. That seems odd to me. I am sure it will average out at some point and it was most likely the other way around at some point. A good balance must be hard to achieve. Good luck to those teams moving on. Word count: 194

Presser for the week ending 12/10 1. How is your NHL team doing if you follow one? My Kings are looking good. 2. Who do you think we will be looking at in the next draft? 3. Coming down to the wire, how do you feel you are doing, as a player and an earner? 4. I am kind of looking forward to the off season, do you have any plans during our off time? 5. I think Spartan has done a good job at making us lose, should he be able to recieve an award? 6. If you could only listen to one band for a month, who would it be?

I think anyone of the charities that try to help kids has my vote. Yes, the world is a shit hole atm but every nation is sending stuff to those regions. I hope our sick kids get some love in a time of the year when they should have hope and happiness.

Review: Although an unhappy theme, you did a fine job portraying the emotion. I feel sad just looking at it and I don't even follow the Legion. Great texture for the background and I like the render placement even though it's outside the format I use, it still looks nice and balanced. Another thing is the logo swap and how clean the render looks. Well done with that. I think the only real thing that I would suggest is a bit more contrast/detail in the render would have taken the flat look out of it. Overall and job well done. 9/10

Review: Interesting graphic that looks almost retro. I like the muted render. It has detail and sharpness that makes it look good and easy to focus on. The color you used is vivid and I really like the feel of this style. The text in the back goes a bit unnoticed but it looks to be more of a supporting effect than a focal effect. The text looks the part. Badass font and the effects on the text really makes it special. Sometimes simple is the best way to go and this graphic is great. Good job. 9/10
