  1. Well, at least you are embracing who you are haha. I don't think I've ever seen quite this much liquify effect on one sig before but as usual you make it work. Lighting is good, JJ would be proud. Render could use a little extra blue light cast to make me really believe the lens flare but nothing major. I would like to see you step out of your comfort zone though.
  2. A solid manip overall, they are tricky to work with sometimes. I think you executed the lighting very well here and exposure seems spot on. The main drawback to this piece is the text. The bog dan text looks choppy and the effects on the podarok text just don't work for me. I think going for a simple thin text would have worked out much better here.
  3. Normally I'd say this needs more depth but the theme was clean so it works pretty well for that. Interesting to see you go for a black BG, usually clean lends itself better to white. it worked here though. Lighting is executed amazingly and gives the render perfect contrast. Text could use a bit of work, it's over ally not bad but it stands out a bit too much; might be better closer to the render's face. Overall, very well done.
  4. I'd like to see a bit more colour going on. This sepia tone thing looks a little awkward for my liking. Lighting is okay but move it over to the left a tad so a bit more of the renee is in shadow; that'll create a better contrast. The out of focus text works pretty well but put it over the render a bit more to enhance the depth. Little sparkly bits work pretty well here, gives it a dreamlike feel.
  5. First off, I absolutely love the font choice of the text; not entirely sure why, it just seems to work really well. However some effects or something clipped to it might help to stop it from being pure white and taking all the focus. In general that's this sigs main issue, focus. The render is so dark and the text is so bright that text is mostly what I see. Blend the text a bit more and get some lighting on the render to make him really pop and this could be a lot better.
  6. Where did you dig this old boy up from haha
  7. The lamp, right?
  8. Looking st this thread makes me feel old haha
  9. I've got better photos at home but only have my Facebook library to work with here so this'll do. Universal Studios on Back to the Future Day
  10. Damn ugly though haha. To be honest, the mobile version on a desktop looks relatively normal. There are definitely a few glitches here and there but it mostly works. If someone with access wants to post or PM me the code for the RED skin though (Blackout does it as well since it's probably based on the same code) I can try to reverse engineer it and figure out where the coding issue is.
  11. Thats true, there does seem to be a different skin at the bottom labelled "mobile version" that looks similar and works, aside from some weird coding errors st the top. Don't know if it will just save my choice while on mobile though so we shall see. There doesn't seem to be an ad on mobile version so that does seem to be what's causing the issue. I'd have to see the code to have any chance of figuring out the problem. For now I'll try the mobile theme and hope it doesn't try to make me use it in my computer haha
  12. To be fair this was happening when I was still with Miller, I just never got around to bitching about it haha
  13. Was the ad not there before? It used to work fine.
  14. Well I really don't want to switch to Chrime because everything is synced with my computers via Safari and zooming in every page is a pain in the ass so could we maybe get this looked at?
  15. This has been happening for a few months now (on my old phone and my new one) but I haven't bothered posting before now. The layout on mobile has decided to basically only use half my screen, see the attached photo. Is anyone else experiencing this? I can zoom in but it's annoying and I shouldn't have to on every page.
  16. I haven't seen the footage from Raw but that was about my reaction when I read that in Twitter. Shane O'Mac vs. Taker sounds like it could be amazing or could be terrible. I never saw confirmation BTW but is this a HIAC match? Saw someone on Twitter elude to the mankind bump off the cell so it has me wondering. Shane was always known for doing things a little crazy so it could definitely be a fun match.
  17. I haven't paid enough attention to the VHL contracts to really have anyone in mind, just seemed like sound logic to me. Take a guy with at least 100 TPE more and pick up a Cup ready goalie in FA. Do that and you're ready to compete in 1-2 seasons. On the opposite side, take a lower TPE player in a goalie and you have to spend probably 3-4 seasons getting him to full cup potential (assuming the rest of the roster stays the same). It's a higher risk, higher reward type situation. Realistically Toronto could take me 1st and I'll be strong enough to compete in a few seasons (again, given their current team stays the same). The control would be in their hands in that situation (Vs. FA where the player has control) but they are less likely to compete immediately.
  18. Not trying to turn off Toronto to the possibility of taking me or anything (if that is even an option) but with their group of guys they could make a feasible run in the next few years if they can get a FA goalie that has higher stats than one coming from the draft. If that's the case then why not pad the blue line now? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go first overall, but I think Toronto's plans might revolve around Free Agency rather than the draft to fix their Goalie issue.
  19. Higgins making the rest of us look bad. Honestly, even with Toronto needing a goalie, I think this is pretty accurate that I don't go before third at best. Toronto also needs Defense and it's hard to deny that Higgins is as beast.
  20. Probably going to miss a few but haven't updated this in awhile so why not.
  21. Posted this before I graded like a scrub so just bumping it back above
  22. Sounds like they are trying to create a new Hulk Hogan. Large Muscle man with very little mic skill, gets wrecked the entire match, comes back with a few very simple moves and wins.
  23. Well that's different. Can't say I'm used to seeing sigs with post-apocalyptic cupcakes haha. BG is kinda cool, a little weird but still. Lighting is good. The "Black" text looks really flat compared to the rest of the piece so I think it needs some effect work. Other text is okay. I guess my biggest complaint is that the "render" takes most of the canvas but it's kinda a weird shapes I guess that'll happen.
  24. Effects are spectacular, lighting is on point (and different from normal to boot which is nice to see). The clipping mask style you used works really well with this piece and the text, while simple, works wonders here. My only complaint is that SOMETHING (colour maybe?) is drawing me to the text more than the render. I don't really explain it. Maybe my brain expects the text to be out of focus? I'm not sure but it's still a marvellous piece regardless.
  25. An odd lace to start but I'm going to start by saying the focus on his face is sharp as a damn tack which is perfect. BG is a little weird but working with colour made it work really well I find. Lighting could be doing a BIT more but overall it works very well. My main issue is the text. To put it bluntly, I don't like it that much. I feel like it has too much weird ones and colours going on that make it feels like a cheesy 90's commercial. Maybe if the blue was more subtle or you used the red from the BG instead of blue it would have worked but it's throwing the piece off (for me) as is.
