Just to let everyone know, I plan on creating a tennis wallpaper site. I only have two wallpapers right now in the 'series' (Gasquet made for Benchwarmer and Agassi for myself.), but by the time I have more, I'll put up a website. My next wallpapers will probably be Davenport, Federer, Nadal, and Sharapova.
Here are my Agassi and Gasquet wallpapers:
Gasquet
Agassi
BTW, I'm looking forwards to your wallpaper, leftys.

For anyone who hasn't noticed the new 'ad' underneath lefty's and my signatures, we have opened the wallpaper site. Here's the URL:

leftys will be making Agassi, Mauresmo, and Roddick wallpapers next, and I'll be making Davenport, Federer, Nadal, and Sharapova wallpapers next.

For wallpapers, should I do Venus and Serena together or seperate?
|
x.doublea
|
I think they should be separate. They're two different players, nevertheless....
BTW, sorry I haven't been making wallpapers at the moment... my monitor is getting fixed and the temporary one is always in an uncomfortably yellow shade. Sorry.
|

|
Not following the usual pattern, I will be creating a commemerative Andre Agassi wallpaper.

They are definitely separate players. I used to like Serena when she was the 'little sister' trying to win a major and I did enjoy her success initially. However, her outarageous and arrogant attitude in both the things she says and the 'things' she wears made me really not like her at all.
Today, I still like Venus a lot and could care less for Serena. However, with all that said, Serena is still a very good player and tonight she had another excellent match against Ivanovic. She won easily just like I predicted.
So I said all that just to answer leftys question; yes I would make separate wallpapers leftys!

Mauresmo wallpaper is up. Going to start the Roddick one soon.
|

And by the way x.doublea, how are your wallpapers coming along?
|
x.doublea
|
I've been quite busy, but I am in the middle of a Davenport one....
|
leftys_rock
|
I have as well. That's why the Mauresmo one took such a long time. It's a little hard to erase the backgrounds on your laptop when your mouse is the little pad that's like 3 x 1.5 inches in size.

Highly recommend a mouse.
|
leftys_rock
|
I have one, i'm using it right now, but it's not very convenient when you're not on a desk. When I have free time, i'm sitting in front of my locker in the hallway using my laptop. Not really a great place for a mouse.
|
x.doublea
|
Oh, yes... try your lap or perhaps a textbook. So, you do most of the wallpaper work at school?
|
leftys_rock
|
For the Mauresmo one. I work on it at home too, but only on weekends.
|

Veryveryvery sorry guys, but the Roddick wallpaper is going to come a little later because i'm making 2 wallpapers for my friend's birthday, and they're JHH and Sharapova wallpapers(I can just hear the screams of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" ) I'm sorry about that, but I kinda want to get them done before her birthday is actually here. I promise the Roddick one right after.

can we make requests?
|

Definitely! Do you still use the Gasquet one I made for you, Benchwarmer?
|

Indeed! Well if Roddick is popular demand, I can of course make one, but are there any specifics for now?
|

oh yeah, i love it thanks again
...oh yeah, and my brother is a huge murray fan, if it isn't too much trouble for either of you can you make him one?

Hey X, not to overload you or anything, but a sharapova one would be amazing.
The ones I've seen you do already are AMAZING, I love them... especially the agassi one you dont have in your siggy.
But a Masha one would be the best, if you have time of course. Thanks!

Just so everyone knows, I probably won't get the Sharapova wallpaper done this week. I have practically seven tests in the next four days, so I'll be busy.

Where do you do your work x.doublea? I usually do it at school during the early morning or right before tennis practice or during extra help. I might take a short break from wallpapers. Probably after my H-H wallpaper for my friend's b-day. I'll resume them in mid-early-November.

Well, I do the wallpapers during some-very-few tiny-little 10 minute rest periods while I study and do my homework (at home). I had a bit more time last week because I can't do any excersise due to my bruised ankle. Just this week I have those tests (mid-term reports).
And, thanks, J-Man. I'll actually be quite furious if I don't reach my expectations on all the tests....

Oh, I do a lot of work at home too on weekends. I didn't have a lot of homework this weekend, so I could do more work.(which was partially helped by the fact that I forgot to bring my public speaking homework home, so I have to do all of the hw tomorrow morning! ) Good luck on your midterms! Wow your mid-terms are early, ours are in January!
|

No, it's just, in the first term (September-December), the school sends the parents this little report on how we're doing, and they need to do that with some marks. We don't have mid-year exams, because we go full year, not semester (to my dismay ).

Ohhhh, so you have quarter *finals*. We don't anymore, we just get a progress report late October on how we're doing and etc. And then we have midterms in January.
|
x.doublea

Yes, sort of, except they're only tests/quizzes (of course, we have a final exam, which is worth 30% of our mark).
|
Benchwarmer1
|
sorry to interupt, just wondering what programs you guys use to make these wallpapers?
|
x.doublea
|
I use Macromedia Fireworks. It's like a less-powerful combination of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Fireworks is also optimal for moving GIFs.
|
leftys_rock
|
I use Gimp 2. It's relatively unknown, but it's nice. But because it's free, there's some stuff it doesn't have that Photoshop or Fireworks have. I wish I had Fireworks, I could do much more stuff with it.

Do you still think she's hot though PSALT? You did say you thought she was hot a while ago. Though, I would find it very hard to dislike somebody if they were hot.

For being such a Maria fan, you don't hang out on her board very much. Or the Vaidisova board, or the Dementieva board. I pop in at all the boards. It's kinda entertaining. I recognize many from the official fan sites.

Those boards are very boring, I go on to get videos, avatars, pictures, but I dont really like to talk to all of them. The only "friends" I have on there are the canadians, Im not too worried about friends on that board, or any really.
