Thanks @Vat!

Review: Ooooh this graphic is very dramatic and I really love the colors. Your lightning filled green background really matches the players jersey very well. Your photoshop is pretty good. I do think you could pick a more dramatic font for the players name though. The font doesn't really make the name pop like it could be. Good work, 8/10!

Review: I think your graphic was very creative for the vacation theme week. The image is clear, the photoshop is done well, and it made me chuckle. I feel like you could make a few of these images with dialogue, making a kind of comic strip of what happened before and after this photo. My only critique is to maybe add an outline to the speech bubble, so it stands out more. Great work, 9/10!

My heart dropped for a second there... I appreciate you reading this and your kind words!

Thank you EldredMan! I’m looking forward to playing D&D for reals tho

The Loch Ness Monster and the Dreaded Camping Trip with the San Diego Marlins The Loch Ness Monster has always been somewhat of a loner. With her family dead for 180 million years and her deep disgust for human beings, it had been a long time since she traveled or went on vacation with anyone. Towards the end of Nessie’s first season playing in the VHL for the San Diego Marlins, the General Manger @thadthrasher and Assistant to the General Manager @Spence King told the team that there would be a trip, that there would be bonding, and Nessie would have to go. Nessie hated this idea and dreaded the week ahead of her. What did the management have planned for the team you ask? A camping trip. The San Diego Marlins were going to be spending a whole week together, off grid in the Rocky Mountains in the middle of winter. Nessie liked the idea of seclusion, but then remembering her teammates would be there day and night, she returned to her state of despair. Now Nessie’s hatred for humans may seem harsh, but she felt as if they have always hated her. It was always one extreme or the other when it came to Nessie’s experience with people in the Scottish Highlands; they either called her a fake or tried to stalk, hunt, and put her head on a stake. But because Nessie loved hockey more than anything else in the world, she decided to put up with her teammates, cause no fish species, fellow cryptic, or other creature was as good at playing hockey as human beings (other than plesiosauruses of course). The first day of the trip went just as Nessie had expected in would go, terribly. When the team arrived at the campsite, everyone was excited to see it was located next to a spring, a hot spring. Nessie was unable to go swimming for fear of being boiled and cooked alive. Then when it came time to set up the tents, none were big enough for Nessie, she felt excluded and shammed for her thicc beautiful blubber. Then someone decided to document the first night of the trip with a candied photograph of the group, triggering Nessie as she remembered all those countless stalkers of hers, trying to photograph her in her own home. And to top it all off @Eldredman kept bugging everyone to play D&D with him, which everyone, not just Nessie, thought was super lame. The following four days went just like the first, a lot of activities that excluded Nessie due to her size, her fish like body, and her own stubbornness. But on the fifth day everything changed between Nessie and the rest of the San Diego Marlins. A major snowstorm was approaching on the radar, the food supply was low, and @Justin Burg was missing. Nessie was sent out on the search party to help look for @Justin Burg and because of her absurdly long neck she discovered him laying on top of a frozen pond looking for turtles (the only thing he loves more than hockey). As the team rushed forward to tell him about the snow storm the ice beneath their feet cracked and they plummeted into the Icey waters. Without thinking, Nessie flopped into the lake, rescued her teammates, and decided to catch some fish to replenish the food supply. She then carried her shivering shocked teammates back to camp on her back. Around the campfire that night, the truth came out. Nessie’s teammates told her that they were skeptical of playing hockey with a plesiosaurus, and that they didn’t really think she could make it on their team. But one by one her teammates looked into Nessie’s gigantic buggy eyes and said, “but now, I believe in The Loch Ness Monster”. That was the night that The Loch Ness Monster decided to stop being a loner, and to start being a team player. -------------------------- 659 words, claiming for week ending 21 February

Review: This is so great and makes me want to try making a magazine cover! I love the colors you chose, the fonts, all the details, and just all the layers/details you put into it. The only thing that is kind of off is the title. I understand you were probably trying to put the emphasis on "VHL", but I think it could look better if "hockey" was the same size. Great work! I would give it a 9/10.

Review: This graphic for theme week was very creative! Most people have been choosing the beach, so I like that you thought outside the box and did Disney for your player's vacation. I think your player photoshopped in was done very well, and you matched the coloration perfectly. The only thing I saw that could have made it even better would be to maybe use a better picture of the player. Minnie and Mickey look super clear but the player looks more pixilated/grainy just not as clear and crisp image quality. Great work, 8/10.

+10 the Loch Ness monster

This banner looks awesome! You matched the background colors perfectly to the logo and the water drops were a great touch. I wonder if the VHL would look better matching the blue of the hashtag and the logo. The black may make the logo stick out too much. I would still give this a 9/10, great work.

What a cool graphic. There are so many layers you placed on top of one another and they all go together so well. I love the font and the colors. The half ice rink half red background is a very unique touch. My only critic would be that it looks blurry. I’m not sure if that is just my phone or if you need to up the quality of your photo. I would give this graphic an 8.5/10, great job!

Awesome job on this graphic! I really like the colors and the layers, it all fits together so perfectly. The only thing I see that could be improved would be the transparent logo overlayed. It was such a good idea, but it does look a little pixelated. I consider this a 9/10.

I think your graphic is really clever. It made me laugh out loud when I realized the helmet pattern was tater totes, it was a really creative choice. I would say that the information in the bottom right hand corner are a little distracting how it overlaps on the players shirt. Maybe this information could be smaller or in a box or in the upper right hand corner. Great job 8/10! Creativity 10/10!

The Loch Ness Monster: Who is She and Where Did She Come From Before the Loch Ness Monster (Nessie) started her career in hockey, she lived the tragic and tiresome life of a cryptic. Nessie grew up in a deep dark loch in the Scottish Highlands. It was a lonely life, with every other plesiosaur dead for 180 million years, only her and her cousin Champ remained. As land shifted and waterways changed, loch ness was cut off from the sea, Nessie was cut off from her only remaining kin, there was no way for her to reach Champ in North America now. Time passed and Nessie’s loneliness hit an all time low. So low that she was willing to befriend a human. When she emerged from the loch, a holy man stood on shore. She approached the man with hope in her big bulging eyes, but he shouted and cursed at her. She told herself that day that she never wanted to see or be seen by a human again. Humans began to hunt for her, to harass her with pictures, Nessie knew she would need to leave the loch if she wanted a better life. One winter day Nessie heard swishing and swooshing noises from the layer of ice on top of Loch Ness. When she poked her long horse like neck out of the ice, she saw the most beautiful thing in all the world, a game of ice hockey. Nessie knew then that that was her new life, no longer would she be a world-famous lake monster, but a world-famous hockey player. After terrorizing the children playing hockey, Nessie took a stick and a puck and began to practice playing on the loch. Locals, tourists, and scouts from hockey leagues all over the world came to see Nessie slip and slide and totally shred as she pushed the puck from one end of the loch to the other. Instantly Nessie was given a contract to play on the Great Britain Women’s National Hockey League. While playing for her first professional hockey team, it became clear Nessie was best at defense. She was strong, thicc, and quick. Nessie moved so fast, only some claimed to have actually seen her. Nessie loved hockey more than anything else, but she still felt a deep sense of loneliness being surrounded by stinky, annoying humans. When the 2020 pandemic hit, Nessie decided it was time to swim across the ocean to North America to find her long lost cousin Champ. Once Nessie found Champ, they would watch the Canadian and American hockey games on Lake Champlain. Nessie realized how much better the hockey players were in North America and decided that this is where she would play from now on. In 2021 Nessie received a contract to play for the San Diego Marlins. Although she was disappointed the team was not comprised of 16.4 foot long, 1,803-pound marine fish; she believes in her new team, and they believe in her.

This was a VERY helpful article for newbies like myself! I appreciated the list format for ease of reading. It is definitely a 9/10 article.

The Loch Ness monster confirms recruitment and will fight with all her mighty sea beast power for the Neanderthals.

Neither I didn't know him. I have no final words because I did not know him.

This is a true piece of art and will be cherished for generations to come. I really liked your choice of music. Amazing job, 100/10.

The Loch Ness Monster rejects your invitation of flirtation, but accepts your offer of a contract #MarlinsTerritory
