My North Dakota Wallpapers

Alright, a little later than promised, but better late than never. Here are the November wallpapers, enjoy. :) Again, I have a couple different sizes, and each version with and without a calendar so you can use them year-round if you want (or if you just don't like the calendar).

Widescreen with Calendar (1680x1050):

Widescreen without Calendar (1680x1050):

Has work begun on a December wallpaper yet? You did a great job on November's by the way!

Not yet, but I've been getting ideas. I should have one ready by the beginning of December.

Is everyone liking doing the current players, or should I switch it up and do like a commemorative version in honor of a title team or something? The only hard part about doing an old team is that the pics are a lot smaller and lower resolution, making it tougher for larger wallpapers to like nice...unlike the ones I've been doing with current players.

I like the current players, but if you could find a nice picture that would work with the older teams that would be cool. I do have one suggestion, though. The dark backgrounds make at least my screen look really dark, so I guess I prefer the lighter backgrounds just because they seem to pop more off of the screen.

Sounds like you need a new computer. :)

Well, technically I needed a new one just after I got this one. :D Piece of junk, but I am just waiting until I am out of school with a real job and can afford one again. I am hoping that this one will get me until after Dec. 2011. It does what I need it to for school and the rest...I can deal with until then,

yea true, but ive always tried finding a good pic of the ralph for my background. cant really find any good ones.

Go to google images, search for Ralph Engelstad Arena, select the "large" option the left sidebar. I found a few, including one with the statue out front.

Those are a few. If those aren't what you are looking for, I might be able to make a little time to go take a few.

Thanks. The Sammy Sioux logo is a favorite of mine, like I said. I actually created that logo in high-resolution from scratch. It took me FOREVER, but it turned out awesome in my opinion...hence the reason I had to find a way to use it. The process of making it wasn't difficult, other than the trickiness of getting it accurate, which came out as good as you can get it pretty much. I did modify the logo for the wallpaper and such, so that's not how it would typically look.

My first Sioux shirt as a kid had Sammy on it...love it!
