1. On vacation for the first week of off-season 2. With the reroll I've basically changed my entire build. I believe Training Camp was dedicated to banking.. 3. It's good to start it back up. We have adifferent looking roster and we need to reform chemistry. 4. I think Markinson will be the 1D this year after Moreau got traded. Excited to take a step forward. 5. 1D.. Definitely higher in the lineup than Rory in his lineup 6. Hoping to quarterback the defense and have a strong year defensively!

but to make it vhl related

Let’s get it!!

Yes please

Moscow Menace defenseman, Hard Markinson, took home the Sterling Labatte Award last night at the VHL Awards. This is the second season in a row that Markinson brought home the hardware for Top Defenseman in the VHL. Markinson was nominated once again for top offensive and top defensive, but came up short on those awards. This goes to show his balanced play and his overall performance during the season. Markinson put up 112 points while also having 257 hits and 182 shots blocked. These are the kind of point totals that top scorers put up, and equally the type of defensive stats that really can change the tide of the game. Marksinon then backed up that impressive season with yet another incredible playoff, as he put up another 30 points, as he climbs the all-time playoff point leaderboard. Moscow has seen a lot of big changes on their roster. They've lost both Aurelien Moreau to trade, and Zdeno Chara to an early retirement. Markinson is expected to step up and elevate his game as he becomes a very important piece on the back-end. Wattson Power makes their return to the d-core, but the additions of Jan Hlozek and George Sanderson give Moscow a different dynamic as they try and limit shots and chances giving more support to goaltender Papa Emeritus.

Review: This is an interesting piece. I like the idea, and there's some cool things in here. I think the wavey text borders are really cool. The player name text is also interesting and looks cool. The render text is a cool effect, but I think there's a bit of overkill around the eyes. The overall look kinda says grungey, sharp, hardened look, but the edges are very soft. The softness on the two sides kinda makes it feel like there's two lightsources coming from each side, but then its like there's a light source hitting the left side of the render's face. I almost think if you just kept the edges pitch black it might look better; just an idea though, I could be wrong lol. 9/10

OP Draft

Great job @Alex. Thanks to those who voted! Back to back Labattes is huge with the caliber of defense out there right now!

Review: Really strong work here. I really like the layout, The look is super clean. I love the jersey texture BG, as it fades to white into the bottom with the smoke brush on top of it. Three jersey changes is a lot of work, and they are all very detailed. The text is nice, I really like how the main render pops on top of it. Only a couple things I noticed; the reds seem to bleed into each other. I think when doing the jersey changes the reds got a little too bright - You can really notice this in the face of the render to the furthest right. There seems to be reddening in the ears and nose, that don't seem natural. Even if it is the natural look, maybe a touchup of desaturation or sponge tool could help with that. I like the layout, but I think a simple swap could really help the balance of the graphic. ie: if you swapped the B+W render box with the "DC" text, it might look more balanced; there's definitely something that is making it feel off balance. Overall, killer work, you're getting better every week - looking forward to your next submission. 10/10

The Moscow Menace are proud to select Tomas Sogaard @Brandon!

Review: This is hands down your best graphic. The textwork is really sharp and works nice. The Remy font is fantastic, and I do like the idea of how you incorporated the Flynn text. The only think I don't like is the grey textbox where the Flynn is over, I don't like the way it doesn't pair with the text of Remy. (Bear with me as I try to explain this) Like it seems like it doesn't follow the lines of the rest of the E text. I think if the text box was like the height of the middle section of the E it would look a lot cleaner. Overall it's just a great look. I think the render effects on the top are nice, you added a glossy look near the top, that paired well with the bordering white lights, and added lighting that went with the arena lights. The bottom render is cool with added shadow. I like this version a lot more than the other you posted, I think the faint BG is better. Overall just a killer graphic, can't wait to see what more you do now! 10/10

Review: I actually think this might be my favorite one from you. The jersey change is so nice, subtle but really clean. I think it's one of the best wranglers JC I've ever seen. I love the text and the effects on it. The red coloring is really cool, and I like how the reds from the BG bleed into the render. I think the only thing that could be improved is some of the lighting. I like the red screen layer on the graphic, but the one on the right eye kinda throws me off. I don't know if it's the strength of the effect or just even the brush stroke size (I wonder if a bigger brush would have looked like). I love the render effects, you really know how to make a signature pop and give that wow-factor. Great work as always! 10/10
