OT - New Wallpaper Style
If you guys think they are worth doing, I'd be happy to make wallpapers in this currenty style for other players and in other sizes.
Small Preview:

So if you'd like it, and would like to see a different player/size, let me know.
And if you don't, let me know why not!

I like it, high finish and quality. But is there any point in seeing a slightly different view of the same player? Why not see Jarome, helmetless, mad, road uniform, horse uniform, fighting, you know different situations etc.
Other than that nitpiky detail...like I said, cool and great quality.
Oh and Dion would be my request if I had one and I hadn't just criticized you lol

Yeah, I know what you mean. But for this WP, I liked the consistancy in the pictures, because I think the home jersey --especially when its the same in all the photos-- against the background really stands out well.

man, i would love a good widescreen Flames wallpaper (1680x1050). don't know if you'd be up for custom stuff but to get a wallpaper like that with just a Flaming C in that same grey metal style would be awesome. if not that then i would deffinetly like a phaneuf of yelle version of that same wallpaper

Well, it was an artistic choice - and I like it! It looks sort of like slides or something. I'm using it as my background.

I second this whole heartedly, 1680x1050, grey metal, but with Iginla, Kipper, Phaneuf and Tangay versions

I also agree and would throw in Regehr.

Not crazy about the logo, but the widescreen size works. I think it would work better with the players in there as in the original.

Can you make a Dion on, Pretty Please 
Looks awesome dude! Can't wait to see more.
Edit: I like the way he is in all the same jersey not mixed and matched...

EDIT: to clarify in my mind i'm picturing the logo looking as if it were punched or stamped into the metal, like how a coin looks. if it were possible to do that it would mesh with the rest of the background very well IMO

I absolutely second this. It's so hard to find high-res widescreen pictures worthy of wallpaper. 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 of the gun metal grey with a Flaming C would be awesome (since I'm a fan of the team more than any one player).
Regardless, all of your stuff is great AC. Thanks for doing this.

I would love one of Lombardi 1024x768. And I think the one with the logo looks pretty good. Thanks

I like the style. Only thing is it has too much empty space, but thats just my opinion.

How about a 1440x900 version of say... Ales Hemsky?
Those are awesome.

I love the look of that. I think the blank space is a good idea, seeing as you will have all of your desktop icons covering some of the WP, and no1 wants to cover up the good stuff.
Going slightly off-topic now, am I crazy, or was there not a Flames mosaic after the 03/04 playoffs? It was made of pictures from the playoff games, and had the flaming c in red-ish pictures...be cool if anyone still had that or knew where i could possibly get a copy.
