2010 Schedule Wallpaper - Wolverine vs. Falcon - Game 4 Bowling Green

By monuMental — September 20th, 2010 at 12:10 PM — 13 comments
Filed under:

  • Bowling Green
  • Weekly Schedule Wallpaper

This one was fun; a little more subtle than the wallpapers for the first three games. It is hard to create an image that communicates distaste for an opponent for whom I do not harbor distaste. My solution? A mascot vs. mascot throwdown. I like how the wolverine looks more interested in sharpening his teeth than in his friend the falcon (or what's left of him).

The image below is a preview only. You can get this week's widescreen, 4:3, iPad and mobile wallpapers at The Art. The Art. The Art!.


2010 Game 4 Wallpaper Preview

Thanks...

...to everyone who has downloaded and commented on the wallpapers. Now that I'm caught up with Diaries for the first 4 games (and in the wake of the insane Denard Action Figure project) I'll take a breath and move into a once-weekly posting schedule. As long as the mods are OK with me using Diaries to introduce the wallpapers I'll continue do so every Monday. Either way, you can get a new wallpaper at www.wearetrue.com/goblue every Monday for the rest of the season. I really hope that I have a reason to design a bowl game wallpaper this year too.

All of the 2010 Schedule Wallpapers

Season Wallpaper - Denard Robinson Action Figure

Game 1 Connecticut Wallpaper - Husky Puppy Piddles in Fear

Game 2 Notre Dame Wallpaper - Touchdown Jesus Says "No Good"

Game 3 Massachusetts Wallpaper - The $550,000 Cupcake

Game 4 Bowling Green Wallpaper - Wolverine vs. Falcon

Game 5 Indiana Wallpaper - Good at Basketball

Game 6 Michigan State Wallpaper - Sibling Rivalry

Game 7 Iowa Wallpaper - Maize is Blue

Game 8 Penn State Wallpaper - The Eyes Have It

Game 8 Penn State Wallpaper - JoePa Halloween Costume

Game 9 Illinois Wallpaper - We Be Illin'

Game 10 Purdue Wallpaper - I Think We Can! I Think We Can?

Game 11 Wisconsin Wallpaper - Cheesehead Cross Stitch

Amazing

As always, absolutely incredible job.  Kudos.

Out of curiosity, about how long does it normally take you to make one of these wallpapers?

Some wallpapers are longer than others

I couldn't resist the Braveheart reference...the original "that's what she said" line. The wallpapers usually take 3 to 4 hours each to create, but the Touchdown Jesus from week 2 took much longer (8 hours) and I am embarassed to admit how much time I spent on the Denard action figure. Let's just say that it's good that I gave up cable tv and a few other things before the football season or I would not have slept at all last week. Also, my wife and kids love these so that helps (as does the fact that I find time to work on them during naps or when everyone is busy doing other things). I do have a rule that I will only work on these during times when I'd otherwise be doing other "time wasting" activities.

I was just trying to explain to a coworker

the incredible quality of the blogosphere I get to call home.  I mentioned how much wit, intelligence and production value is on this site.  She seemed to believe me, but didn't really know what I was talking about.  So I showed her your DRob figure. 

Picture is worth a thousand words.

Strong work again with the wallpaper.

Highlight of my Monday

Finding out the new wallpaper has definitely been the highlight of my Mondays for the past couple of weeks.  My ND co-worker grudgingly complimented the No-Good Jesus and my Penn. St. coworker can't wait to see what you come up with in a month or so...

Great job, keep up the awesome work.
