Mitch Marner? Better re-create.

Review: Been a while since I've seen a Solas sig. Really digging the violet to blue gradient and how is fits so nicely with the de-saturated render and the blue helmet. Really like the focal point as the renders face especially with the image quality. The stock work is really nice and how the text is cut-off at certain points. Really like what you came up with here and the execution is really strong. Overall this is a sexy sig for a sexy new player have to give this a 10/10 I honestly have no complaints.

Review: The jersey change is really nice. Love the use of the coloured stripes. The blur is also well executed without being over done. I'm not sure how I feel about the cursive text in the front especially with the Leblanc in the back. I think this is screaming for a light source though as even with the blur by eyes are looking for a focal point and I tend to focus on the logo more than anything. The renders face is a bit of an after thought. Overall this is a nice sig that was well thought out 9/10.

Aurelien Moreau Tries Real Hard markinson @STZ Moreau celebrates with teammates Papa Emeritus (right) @Beketov and Paul Atreides (left) @Mr_Hatter Aurelien Moreau has begun his fourth season in the VHL playing for the Moscow Menace. He was traded mid season in Season 79 to Moscow. He has fit in seamlessly leading all Moscow defenders with 69 points, nice. The key attribute in Moreau's game is he tries real hard, not as hard as Hard Markinson. Now the aspects in trying real hard can't really be quantified by individual stats or advance stats, it's something only the eye test can confirm. According to many scouts this is one of Moreau's biggest attributes, his work ethic. Though he isn't the smartest hockey player around, he makes up for it by working twice as hard as the next guy. "I want to be a leader in Moscow, obviously not like Vladimir Putin, but someone who leads by example and shows the young guys the ropes, we want to win so there won't be any time for growing pains. Either you want to win too or you want be in Moscow for very long." Moreau said before the season. "Nobody was happy with how Season 79 went and anything less than the playoffs in Season 80 will be an utter disappointment. I signed for 5 seasons because I believe in what @Spartan is building and also appreciate the faith he showed in my player." Moreau's career began in Helsinki, being drafted 9th overall in the Season 77 VHL draft. General Manager @Jubo showed great faith in Aurelien after many players from the Frank agency had gone inactive. The leadership Jubo showed as GM in Helsinki has inspired Moreau to be a leader in Moscow now, also proving that Jubo was a shrewd drafter as Moreau would go much higher in a re-draft. "That first season going to the finals and ultimately losing to the Seattle Bears, was probably the most fun I've had in my career." - Moreau said. "At this point in my career, other players look up to me so if I want to have success I need to give it my all each and every game. So far I think I've done that. I feel like the best is yet to come in Moscow we have a lot of guys just entering their prime and young guys coming up. If we want to win we're going to have to try real hard each and every night." Moreau said randomly during a post game scrum.

1. Who would you say keeps the locker room motivated and who is the locker room clown? @Spartan keeps us active in the locker room, by threatening to withhold food. We have a lot of guys who think they're funny. 2. What do you think of your ice time? Do you have enough, not enough? And if that would to change, how would it affect your player? I think the lines have been pretty balanced. Although Moreau's line has more trouble 5v5 defending, from what I can see. Whatever helps the team win ice time has never been something I look at, i either earn more or I don't. 3. Where is your go to vacation for after season? I'll be going to beach and sipping on Pina Coladas as the sun sets. 4. What is your ideal jersey number and why? Always liked the number 6 or 2 as a defenseman. 5. What is your best moment with Moscow? This season since we lead our conference. But I suspect I'll have way more favourite moments in the future. 6. Have you ever gone to a NHL regular season game? If, so what was your first/best game you went to? I've been to about 15 or so in my life. My first was when I was 9 years old. I watched Markus Naslund take a wrister from almost below the goal line and score on Buffalo. I think Vancouver beat them 8-2 that game.

Hall of Shame

Too much effort for 2 TPE. Dayum. @STZ

Review: Odin was a god during his playing days much like Odinsson is now. I like the blending and colouring, matching the bg with Americans colour scheme. The logo on the shoulder is a nice touch. The text fits well but it's too bad the player name is choppy. I've had this issue as well so I'll let you know if I find a way to tweak it back to smooth. Changing sharp > smooth > crisp and so on did nothing for me but it might work for you. Overall a solid sig 8.5/10

Review: This is your best that I've seen. You have a good vase to work with. The jersey change is well executed. The placement of the text and logo are a bit random, my eyes aren't sure where to look. The blending needs some work as you put a stock over the bg but the render is sitting on top. Also covering up the text is a nice idea but gotta make sure it's mostly all legible. Overall 7/10 keep it up.

@Acydburn

When you quote it like that, it looks like a threat.

@JardyB10 is this an accurate representation of Jardy Bunclewirth's retirement?

1. Its yet another theme week. This time it about life after VHL. What would your life after VHL look like? For Moreau, I suspect he will drink a ton.of beer and just let himself go. He'll probably end of lioking like Claude Julien or Ken Hitchcock. 2. We have acquired a couple of new(ish) prospects. First we re-signed Leroy Johnson @Vkobe-v and second we acquired Jlloyid Blloyoiderson @Cxsquared. What is your thoughts on those signings? Always nice to have more warm bodies. Hopefully they become steals and stay active. That would extend or window even further. 3. Any other trades you would like to see before the trade deadline? I always want us to improve but I don't think we have any cap space. Any move would probably be lateral at this point. 4. Prediction time. NHL pre-season is soon to end and regular season to begin. Do you think Ovi is going to have another great season like he did last year? Hope so, I'm predicting another 40 goal season. Hoping he breaks Gretzky's goal scoring record before he calls it quits. 5. Philip Stein been knocked out as the point leader. Who is going to reclaim that throne? The only correct answer is Duncan Idaho. Hopefully a Menace player can take the lead, it'll be tough though. 6. What is your favorite cereal? Can't stand cereal, especially with Milk. Next question please.

Review: Pretty basic wallpaper. Would of been nice to see you experiment with some different elements. I like the faded bears logo in the back but it's hard to pick up. Some stock work or flow is really needed here. Also proportions are a bit strange with the Bears logo being so big and cut off at the bottom. Maybe having Seattle in a similar font as the Bears logo could help bring it together. Overall 6/10

Review: Always like the clean cutout look of your graphics. I'd love to see you play with stronger colours and different effects. Would be interesting to see what you could do outside your comfort zone. As for this graphic the only thing lacking here is the text IMO. Maybe adding a filter to it similar to the rest of the piece. Overall: 9/10

1. We've been having a pretty great start to the season. Do you think we will carry this into the playoffs and win the cup? I think we have a good shot. We have a really deep team at every position and I think anything is possible once we get in. 2. We are currently #1 in our conference. Who do you think is out biggest rival in our conference? Malmo easily. We've been really good against them this season hopefully we can keep it up. Also hopefully that's a good sign for our playoff match ups. 3. Vancouver Wolves are sitting in #1 overall rank. Do you think we will surpass them? I'm surprised they have been as good as they have. The sim seems to love they're players this season especially when you look at their goal differential and their team tpa. 4. What is your personal goal for this season, what would you like to accomplish? I just want us to win a cup or two while I'm here. As for personal goals. Capturing the Beketov this season would be nice but I don't think that's likely. 5. Philip Stein @IHateBobNutting is sitting in #1 for point leaders. Do you think he will continue sitting at #1 spot or will Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeathwill catch up to him? I think Idaho will catch him but Stein is providing insane value for his tpa. Much like what a lot of Vancouver players are doing. 6. What's your favorite movie for road trips? Up in the Air it's well acted and written. It also features a ton of flying so that's relevant.

Review: Like the blending here. The sig overall is a bit too saturated with too much contrast. The text is hard to read. I think if you tone down your effects your work will reach another level. Maybe experiment with different adjust layers, filters or exposure. Overall 7.5/10
