Stock work is looking pretty good here but blending is key to really bring it all together which is where I think this is lacking, I'd like to see an extra exposure layer to bring it all together. As Jack said, the watch face is a little weird; mostly because we can tell it's a watch. That stock is likely better used with a strong gaussian blue to give some lighting effects. I don't mind the text but the thin font does get lost a little bit amongst everything else. Lighting is decent but get the right side of the sig darkened up a tad to make the contrast pop better.

I used it as a sig last week under Draper's claim from round 1. I'll just have to make something else for this week, no big deal.

I absolutely love number 3 but, even though I voted for it, not sure how it fits as "outside the box". Not a weird shape or size, no weird colours, no weird style. Am i missing something?

Man, I liked my sig this week up until the point that I saw what it's up against. Damn, people outdid themselves this time. Really wish I had gotten that bye from the first round haha

When's the vote for this coming up? Need to get through that and into the next round so I know what yo make for my PT his week haha

Love it, absolutely love it. Effects are amazing, text is beyond words, blending is perfection, lighting is good. If I were to complain about anything it would be that it looks a tad washed out so maybe a bit of extra contrast would help but overall I think this is a great piece. Well done.

Did the camera guy forget to turn a light on? Where the heck is your render hiding? a B&W render on a black BG desperately NEEDS strong contrast lighting to make him pop, this sadly has none. On a poorly calibrated monitor I would probably only see the text honestly. The text itself is different and kinda fun, same with the border on the bottom, but the render and effects are desperately lacking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Where did you dig this old boy up from haha

The lamp, right?

Looking st this thread makes me feel old haha

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

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.

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

To be fair this was happening when I was still with Miller, I just never got around to bitching about it haha

Was the ad not there before? It used to work fine.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
