Michigan State wallpaper
Motivation Level to Create a Wallpaper for State: 5 (Baseline 5; –1 for monuMental said he was doing rivlary wallpapers and he's WAY better at it than I am, –1 for it's kind of a dick move after I told cjm I wasn't going to, +1 for but people said they liked variety, –1 for but still... dick move, +1 for I have Columbus Day off and don't need to sleep tonight, –1 for but I have a sweet flick on DVR, +1 for by sweet flick I mean I Robot, +1 for and I came up with a goodish idea.)
Remember when lil bro got all excited about their pro-combat unis for the Michigan game? Well, I figured since they were going all 300 on us, I'd follow suit. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, there's a scene in the beginning where a young Spartan boy is sent out into the wild with nothing but his spear. He soon encounters a particularly hungry-looking wolf and slays it as a statement of his manhood... also, so he could live... but I digress. Well, I thought to myself,
"What if that lil Spartan dude never found the mangy-looking wolf?"
"What if he was unfortunate enough to come across a pissed off wolverine instead?"
"What if that particular wolverine hadn't tasted Spartan blood in 3 years and was hungry for it?"
I give you...

Excitement level for your wallpaper: 10
Excitement level for your wallpaper: 10
Baseline 5, +1 for Sparty Hate, +1 blood splatter, +1 for badass-looking wolverine, -1 for the Spartan did kill the wolf, +1 for I'm half a world away and didn't expect to see anything new on MGoBlog since most of my fellow MGoBloggers are currently asleep and so this is a pleasant surprise, +1 for hopefully cjm will be motivated by this too, +1 for this is simply beautiful looking
In all seriousness, this is amazing work. The maize and blue eyes are incredible.

I think this is your best one yet. Great concept and execution. Thanks for doing these!

Well done

I wouldn't think this would make monumental or cjm upset at all. When it comes to sweet looking Michigan wallpaper, the more the better.
It's tough being Blue in Columbus!!!

Nice work. Sad that it's been 3 years since Sparty faced bitter defeat at the hands of that angry wolverine.

VERY nice. I'm glad you did

VERY nice. I'm glad you did it. I knew I wasn't going to have time with the MLB playoffs starting and short week. I also didn't want to produce something that would be obviously inferior to monuMentals. You, on the other hand, stepped up and nailed it.

Same here.
Same here.
The ends are cutting off with both versions for me too. It is extra scary only being able to see the angry wolverine and Sparty.
EDIT: I changed the desktop setting from "center" to "stretch" and it works now.

Bravo.
Is it too late for a criticism to be anything but dickish?
Here goes, apologies in advance: I had momentary confusion from the M scores aligned under the Sparty helmet, for what it's worth.
Your work is all win, regardless of my nit-picking.

well done sir.

This looks really great. The awesome work you and cjm have done this year have me contemplating retirement from wallpapers of the schedule variety. Wallpaper-hungry Michigan fans are in good hands with the two of you.

I love the work by all of you, but
I love the work by all of you, but
saying that....don't retire!!! I like being able to choose between 2, 3 wallpapers each week. The more choices the better, in my opinion.

You are very kind monuMental but the very idea of you retiring is like ripping out a small part of my heart and stomping it into the ground. Too much?

I hope the game doesn't end like that scene ended.

By far my favorite wallpaper of the year, I think you even have monuMental's wallpaper for this week beat on this one! Very nice!

This is awesome. I'm assuming in this re-imagining, the wolverine attacks the Spartan from the side and rips his head clean off a la Jordan Kovacs. As the wolf learned in the movie, head-on attacks agains Spartans don't turn out too well.
