  1. After the playoffs and the award shows Matt kind of fell of the tracks. Having such a good run which probably will be his best season for many seasons to come, the fact that he ended up with nothing, not even recognition from the judges in the award show, hit hard and Matt lost his motivation. With the changes in league and the training routines getting more demanding and harder, he started to lose the will to put him self out there and fight for anything. He felt like when it comes to the award shows then it is just game of popularity and when it comes to the games then it is just unpredictive, so there are no guarantees. The time to prove himself is over and Matt believes that he did prove himself, just without no benefit to it and with a very little impact on his future. Now Matt is waiting for the start of the next season to see how will he stand against the last seasons performance and can he even be close to the same results. Maybe then his motivation might return, but for now it is quite low.
  2. Saw the Riga Reign and had to come in and give you a rating for the team that is located in the capital of my own country. The first question that comes in my mind is - is the piece a poster, card or a signature? Im not really sure how to look at it, so dont have any sort of guidelines I could go by for the specific type of work. I will assume it's something like a poster, so I will judge it based on that. The renders are chosen well and I like how they are used. Obviously the jersey change is done quite well, maybe not on the front render as the right side just looks like its cut down in a straight line. I would assume that's how jersey bends in the render, but with the jersey change it just looks weird. Although I see and understand why the orange colour is the dominant one in the piece, Im not too keen on it. Might be bit too much of orange for me. When it comes to text, I like that you chose a big and bold font, but the colour itself and the blending mode used does not work for me. I think you could have done much stronger text that would also stand out more and make the graphic more beastly. Overall it is a good job, nonetheless. Rating: 7/10
  3. Hmm very interesting piece! I kinda like what you have done with the render and all the background work. The background gives me this intergalactic space travel vibe, but the render work itself reminds me of ice-man or whatever the villain from Batman is. All together seems a bit neon-ish so a lot of perspectives for this specific work. As you already mentioned yourself then you had issues with the text. Cannot say that the text is bad, not at all, but ye, text is an issue most of the times. Although the piece is busy, I kinda would like to see the background filled up a little bit more and not have that much of the black blank space around. Rating: 8/10
  4. 1. Do you think the league is heading in the right direction? - Really depends what is meant by right direction and in which area. Is league heading towards right direction in terms of the new stats, will see in next couple of seasons. 2. What’s your 4th favorite flavor of ice cream? - Vanilla 3. Do you think you play it safe or take more risks than others? - Hard to say. I think my player takes the risks most of the time, but also plays safe, depending on situation. Questions: 1. Why some of the teams are so lazy on Team Press Conferences? 2. How hard did you find the re-distributing the stats/skills? 3. Would you date someone who makes money on Onlyfans?
  5. London is slacking on press conference, so Im back to you guys! 1. Do you have any favourite activities to do in the offseason? if so what are they? - Relaxing for a bit and then back to the gym and focusing on myself. 2. If you had to take the team on a vacation where would we go and why? - I might take them to countries that are not popular destinations due to lack of information about them. 3. Who is your players favourite player in any league (NHL, VHL etc.) and why do you like them? - Henrik Zetterberg, because of his story being drafted 210th and then becoming one of the league leaders. 4. In your experience, did you like the E? why or why not? - What is THE E? 5. What is your favourite memory of this past season? - Playoffs 6. if you followed the NHL trade line, what trade shocked you the most? - To be fair I did not, so have no idea who is traded.
  6. Looking at the graphic straight up I see that you're not very skilled, so now Im looking at it from a beginners stand point. For a beginner this is a solid piece and the only things that could be improved are parts that will get better with experience. For example the background. The background seems like a quite generic background found online. When it comes to backgrounds it is totally fine to use online resources, but you can do so much that I would always suggest trying to find something unique. The text font gives me vibes of Supernatural TV show. Jersey swap is actually the best thing I think on the piece. It is done very good and looks good! Rating: 7/10
  7. Saw my buddy Godlander mentioned, so I had to jump in I give my point of view on the piece made for him. Not sure what it is meant to be, a signature or a poster, but dang it is very London. There is so much London in the background that Im starting to feel that he's the queen of England haha. Not sure what is your skillset in graphics, but even if it's not the highest I would say that a good job has been done. I personally am not a fan of the overall piece, but it is definitely not the worst one I've seen here. Rating: 6/10
  8. 1. What aspect of Hockey (Defense, Stick Handling, etc.) do you think is the most underappreciated? -Its hard to answer this, but I will say - Puck Handling! 2. The NHL has the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for the player who exhibited outstanding sportsmanship. What should the name of that trophy be in the VHL? -White Dove Trophy! 3. Who do you think deserves to win the award this year? -Everyone who actually deserves them. not favorites. 4. Who do you think is your team's MVP this season? -Either me, or Godlander or Pierce! 5. What is your favorite holiday? -Summer Solstice! It's a foreign holiday... 6. If the VHL has an expansion, what city would you like to see get a team? Cape Town, just for lulz1!
  9. Straight up you can tell that graphics is not something you are very good at or even familiar with. There could have been so much you could have done, even with your limited skills in graphics. The background could by anything, but whatever it is right now. Im assuming that it is suppose to be like a signature, which is another downside of the piece as it is way to large for whatever it is meant to be. At least you chose a bit more interesting font for the text, so I will give you that! Rating: 4/10
  10. Alright, nice to see something different than the usual signature. Looking at the piece I understand, might be wrong tho, it is meant to be a poster which is fine, but kinda would love to see a bit more poster like look as of now it just looks like a picture. Usually I prefer clean and neat designs, but the dirty grunge look is not that bad. I dont know how the original picture looks like, but I like the change of the tone of the players, making it look bit more old-school. Text is very simple and nothing special, therefore could have been worked on more. Rating: 6/10
  11. Oh wow, as this is for me, then I will also use this opportunity to do my weekly review haha. First of all I would like to say that I am very honoured that you made a graphic for me, something I did not even request, because I've always wanted to be that player that people chose for their graphics you know and I guess this season my name was seen enough for someone like yourself to chose me as your player to do the sig for. Thank you! Now to the review! I very much love what I see. Not my players render, as for my player I use Teodors Blugers, but hey, you didn't know. The graphic is not too busy, but still creates a very nice overall composition and I am happy with how it looks. The players render looks very crisp even besides the fact that his uniform is blurred out, but that gives also a nice touch to the design. Not mad about the "Matt" text and actually love it, but the Avens part is not what I would like to see. It is not that much about the look, but more about hte quality of the text as for some reason it gives quite pixelated areas down the sides of the letters like "V" and "A" making it look bad. Not sure what causes it, but if the Avens text would be as crisp as the render or as nice as Matt, then the signature would be a total 9. Thank you again! Rating: 8/10
  12. Regular season was over, but nothing was actually over as now the most important part of the season was about to start. Thankfully for the position where London finished on the regular season standings, they did not have to play in the first round of the playoffs and had to wait to face the winner between Moscow and Malmo. Some of the experts predicted that London will face Moscow in the semi-finals and it did happen although it could have been any teams win, considering that it went to game five in which Moscow took the upper hand and advanced to the sem-finals against London. Now the first two games been played between London and Moscow, the result being 1-1, although after the very first game between both of these teams showed that it might be an easy sweep for Moscow as they did win London 6-1, totally crashing them in the very first game. Matt is doing his best on the ice and fingers crossed that London will pull through and go to finals!

What is your favourite movie? Dont really have one, but if i have to name any then probably - Saw
  14. Straight up you can tell that graphics is not something you do and this was your attempt on one. Taking in consideration your level of skill I have to say that the piece is actually solid. You have taken in consideration several things to make the piece to look clean and smooth. Added a little background effect, nothing too much, just the right amount. Experimented with some additional things like the shapes behind the goalie which is a good touch. Text maybe is not the greatest, but not the worst case. Good job. Rating: 7/10
