When Robert Griffin III was drafted in April, I needed to come up with something different for my avatar/twitcon. I had been rocking the RGIII Composite Draft picture up until the draft, but obviously that wasn’t quite as cutting edge once there actually were photos of Griffin being drafted. So I came up with doing a Close Encounters of the Third Kind avi.
Many people asked me if I was going to be doing up a wallpaper in the same style, so it’s finally here!!
To commemorate a great close to the season from Redskins’ running back Evan Royster, I was inspired to do up a wallpaper to honor his two consecutive 100-plus yard rushing efforts.
The rookie got his first career NFL start against the Vikings, when fellow rookie running back Roy Helu couldn’t go. Royster made the most of his opportunity with 132 yards rushing on 19 carries, and another 15 yards on two receptions. Considering the Redskins released Ryan Torain, you’d have to assume that the Redskins were impressed enough with Royster to give him Torain’s back-up role.
What do you say about a guy who gets drafted with the second to very last pick of the draft, and beats out a 5-year veteran to make the active roster in his rookie season?
Well I said this before he made the team, and I thought it was appropriate to do up a wallpaper graphic for such a meat-and-potatoes guy. I had a couple of game photos that came courtesy of Jake and Teri Russell, and I couldn’t decide which ones to use. So I used two of them! I liked both shots but couldn’t think of a theme that would use both, so I did up two completely different graphics.
In honor of the game being played on Canadian soil this week, I offer you a special commemorative wallpaper.
Yeah I cheesed out and only did a 1280×768, so sue me.
Enjoy:
