Ya I'd say he's still got 2 or 3 years left in him, but sometimes its best to stop when ur on top of your career still
Looking forward to see who takes over the C, maybe Pavel?
He's been eyeing a return ever since he retired, he's probably no good now anyways.
Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the AHL somewhere but I highly doubt he has what it takes at this age to make a comeback in the NHL.
ya I had a lot of trouble trying to blend his face in, so I just ended up throwing some blue photo filters on aswell as some levels to get the whole sig to blend well
put a layer mask on the original image and dim Bell out a bit, cuz I agree with nola, I was first drawn to him aswell, and maybe add some lighting overtop of russell's head to draw your attention more over to him
try and stay away from putting your main text on soft light, it makes it look a little cheesy imo
other than that I'm liking the layout you've put together, colouring and lighting could use some improvements though
I'm a sucker for scan lines so I'd probably stick with v1, but I love it dude
Not a big fan of the colour choice for the outfielder text and the dots above it, I'd probably change it to a redish colour to match the render
