Effort: 2/2 - It doesn’t SEEM like there’s a lot here but simple sigs often have a lot more too them than meets the eye. Look: 2.75/3 - I actually really do like this sig, I can’t put my finger on exactly what I like so much but I do. The BG is simple and blends well, the subtle colouring works well. My main issue is the text. I like what you’re going for but something about vertical text doesn’t feel quite right here. Creativity: 1/1 - Definitely. Total: 5.75/6

Effort: 2/2 - I can see enough effort here. Look: 2.25/3 - The colouring work suits the piece well but that’s the main piece of good I can give this. The lighting is all over the place (too bright in the middle,, too dark at the edges) and the text has major issues. The font choice is bad, it doesn’t blend at all, it’s too far from the render, etc. It does appear like you’re still new to this so keep trying new things but this does need some work. Creativity: 1/1 - Yup. Total: 5.25/6

Effort: 1.5/2 - I want to give you this if in fact you did do it on an iPad but, honestly, there’s not much. A logo you were given, two pre-cut renders, a BG and 1 effect. That’s not really enough. Look: 2/3 - I like the idea with the BG but that cross hatch pattern kills it. The renders and logos are just slapped on with no blending or lighting. Honestly, I think it would look better without the players which is kinda problematic. This just lacks in any edginess. Creativity: 1/1 - I’ll give you this. Total: 4/6

Effort: 2/2 - Effort is almost always there for banners, no exception here. Look: 2.75/3 - I like the idea you’re going for here. Good lighting, good colouring. Edges are a bit too high in contrast for my liking (left edge especially) but that’s my only major complaint. Creativity: 1/1 - Yup. Total: 5.75/6 Final: 12/12 * Doubled for Banner

Effort: 2/2 - I can see the effort put in on this piece. Look: 2.5/3 - The colouring work (or lack thereof) really hurts this for me. I love the stock work done around the logo but unfortunately that’s the only bit that matches said logo which was meant as inspiration. The purple hue this whole thing has would suit a banner for Davos much better than the league. I​ like the idea but it ultimately doesn’t work out as it should. Creativity: 1/1 - Yup. Total: 5.5/6 Final: 12/12 * Doubled for Banner

Effort: 2/2 - I can see the effort. Look: 2.75/3 - I love the colouring on this piece and the text works really well. Plus I have a hard on for blur, everyone knows this, so I’m fine with that. My main issues are that the lighting is washing the render out rather than making it stand out and the render itself is kinda small, should take up a bit more of the sig to be a proper focal point. Creativity: 1/1 - Yup Total: 5.75/6 Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Stock work, text work,blending. As Bushito said, definitely got this. Look: 2.5/3 - The text is the main problem here. The effect you were going for is okay but a texture or something to help blend it would have been good. Also, as Bushito said, get it closer to the render. I’ve also got an issue with the sharpness of the whole thing. Not everyone has the love blending as much as I do but it helps sometimes and this would be one of those. Everything in the BG gets kinda distracting because of how sharp it is. Get the focus over to the render. Creativity: 1/1 - Yup Total: 5.5/6 Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Yeah, I can see the effort. Look: 2.5/3 - Bushito pretty much nailed it. The colouring is good (which is hard for yellow) but the lighting is far too strong. I can see what you were going for text wise and it can work but only in very specific styles, this isn’t one of them. Also, what’s going on with the weird outline thing? Creativity: 1/1 - You definitely nailed this part. Total: 5.5/6 Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - Definitely. Look: 2.75/3 - The lines are cool looking and I like what you did with them but they are a little bit distracting, especially the ones on the far left. Overall though, I love the colouring, text and overall feel about this sig. Creativity: 1/1 - You nailed it. Total: 5.75/6 Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 -Yup, effort is definitely present here. Look: 2.75/3 - I was tempted to drop this .5 but there is something I like about it. A few stocks feel out of place and the weird red line over his face isn’t really helping much. I’m okay with the text but the font choice for Tony could be better. Overall, there are a decent number of minor things I would change but nothing too significant. Creativity: 1/1 - Yup Total: 5.75/6 Final: 6/6

Effort: 2/2 - There are some things being tried here so I can see the effort. Look: 2/3 - The BG is bland, lighting doesn’t exist, the text is bland and the word smudging isn’t helping much. I would deem this a decent start but not a finished sig. Just don’t give up on things so early, keep pushing until it’s something you like. If you’re thinking “yeah, this is a 5 sig” than it will be. Creativity: 1/1 - Sure Total: 5/6 Final: 5/6

Effort: 2/2 - I can definitely see the effort put forth here. Look: 2.75/3 - Bushito covered the basics. Colouring is sold, blending is well done but the text really does kill this. Everything else is blended so well and the text appears to just be slapped on last minute. Give it some depth and really make it part of the piece. Creativity: 1/1 - Yup Total: 5.75/6 Final: 6/6

$20 for S40. I’ll take the extra double week and my $100 tag please.

Dead last, hell yeah haha.

If it makes you feel any better the only time I was taken first overall in the VHL was S1 and I think we all know how that went...

We established in my post party that we've never been on a team and thus never talk much. So I'm saying Helsinki.

I might only be able to get something in because of the deadline and I still agree with the above. What's the point of having of deadline of you push it with no penalty. I get that you want every dog but ability to meet a deadline should be a factor.

Gotta admit, I was weary of the white but it looks damn sleek in my black entertainment center. Way nicer in person than in photographs. Annoyingly though, it can get stained apparently. There's a small black mark at the top straight out of the box which kinda sucks but oh well.

Long story but I'll be getting a PS4 Destiny bundle today, not sure fully when I'll have it set up and running but still excited. Feel free to add me Devise, my PSN is Pombo22. I believe I have Sandro already.

I'll try but honestly I'm booked solid.

I wound up busy so unfortunately I doubt I'll get this one done. Probably should have put in one of my 4 shit ones I guess.

Stupid shitty Internet adding posts twice

A wild STLZACH appears!
