Son of a bitch did it again

Welcome @Garsh!!!!

Review: This is a good flowy graphic. The textures and text both have that flowing feel to it. I like the lime green touches, kinda a little ode to malmo days? lol. I think the text is the star here - could have better placement instead of the bottom right corner. I love the threaded texture on the font, not sure if that's default or you did it, but it's definitely unique. The render effects are cool. There are some good placement tutorials in the resource section that might help (if you want). I think Solas might have actually put it together - but yeah, I think you have a lot of talent and if you tweaked a few things you'd be one of the top makers here. Still great work, hopefully useful critiques! 9.5/10

Review: I really like this one. I think the text is really nice. The fonts are both interesting. I really like the offset blue on the general manager text. Render effects are cool, I like the stroke effect. I think the head stands out a little too much from the rest of his body - but it's not really a big deal. Logo is nice, and the colouring and lighting are solid. Great work, one of the better submissions this week. 9/10

What's your favorite sigs you've made for someone and they didn't even put it in their forum signature?

Before we drafted @v.2 to Malmo at #7 I told him I thought he was the best player in this draft.. I still feel that way tbh. Great lookin draft, nice to see the MOS boys holding their stock up lol!

eh i tried.. go on youtube or something if you dont know how to set a layer to overlay tbh

Put that dark blue stroke on overlay and your text just got more interesting.

Congrats guys. Definitely interested to see how these two moves play out!

So I have to do a VHL.com article because I got a trivia question wrong, and I couldn't just do two reviews. This is the second time I've got a Trivia Question wrong even though I looked through the portal to get the answer. The question was, what player had more goals than Scotty Campbell in career playoff games. Naturally, I went to Scotty's HOF article and looked at the bottom for career stats; it shows 32 Goals. The next polayer I look up is Dakota Lamb because I know he's in the portal. Portal states Lamb has 43 playoff goals. I assume this is the right answer.... but no. So here we are. I don't know why this cheesed me so much; maybe it's because I'm here once again on a Sunday evening doing my VHL chores, and not really enjoying it. I'd rather be spending my time elsewhere, and that's probably not a good sign. I'm likely to take another extended break after Markinson, as I'm feeling like my motivation isn't there anymore. Even when I do make a sig, something I do enjoy doing, I have these brain-dead people reviewing them giving my 6/10 because my text isn't clear enough.. Like they literally want a paint sig. Even when I go to review, I only like reviewing @Franksigs, at least they are different every week. I mean IR is getting good, not meant to throw shade, it just feels like the graphic community here died with gorlab. Anyways, I hope no one reads this, cause I feel like it's kinda a downer write-up lol..

Review: This is nasty. I love it. I think your Helsinki sigs are the best - I don't think anyone can JC them like you, and you work so well with blues and complementary cool colors. The Pearce text is stunning, I absolutely love it. The sharpness matches the rest of the sig and just pops out so nicely. The Nico text looks like you did it with the brush lol. The effects are next level - keeping with your style, and pushing it even further. I love the feel on the top right where it almost feels like the sig is bleeding out. Overall such a nice sig, and it's one of my fav's from you! 10/10

Did you make your fantasy picks for playoffs, how do you think you will do? Did you take Moscow?? 6. Are you playing/still playing Wordle? WHat's your best score?

Review: This is really cool. I like the first one better. I like the idea of adding more lighting, I just think the lighting could have been utilized a little better than the second submission. Anyways, the sig itself I really like. I think you've gotten out of your comfort zone and you've been really nailing it lately. The render effects are cool looking, albeit a little over-cooked. I really love the fire cut-out effect you put on the main render, I thing thats really nice. The overall colouring is great, and improvement on some of your other pieced, the teal colouring is weird as I don't think it's on Stutzle's render or a colour for Houston.. Not sure if it was an intentional decision or not. The only real knock that I don't like is the blurred face placement. I think if you flipped horizontal and placed on the right side of the main render, it would be more visually appealing, plus you could move the main render to the left, and hide the fact that he isn't holding a stick (lol?). But overall I really like, I know I've added a lot of things I would change, but it's only because I care enought o give my input, hope it's not taken the wrong way! 9/10

Review: The overall look and effort is really worth the TPE submission. I like the full render players, and the fact that they all come with full jersey changes and player representation is an added bonus. I like the borders and the name text. Yje effects and lighting is good, it just seems like the blacks are really hard, and could use a slight exposure layer. I like this idea of the dream team, I think although you named it "selfish" it's really not, it's kinda why we all play this game for so long - the fact that you can look back and have a line-up of past players is really gratifying, and for a member who imho is extremely underappreciated, good for you to be able to showcase these six great players. Good work! 9/10
