Improve your favorite mod's loading screens!

[RedFox]

Santa has personally requested me to start working on some new loading screens for XGM - Diadochi.
For that, I will need your help:


Required is a good UNEDITED screenshot in high quality, featuring XGM - Diadochi unique units and battle scenes.
Complete and utter carnage screens are extremely welcome. Resolution at least 1024x768!
The use of in-game PRINT SCREEN buttoned tga screenshots is also REQUIRED - xgmD captures the screenshots in very high details with antialiasing, even if you don't have AA enabled.
I also recommend using MINIMAL UI to have more space for the actual screenshot

If your entry is pure enough, good enough, awesome and full of carnage and full frontal nudity rampaging animals,
your screenshot might just end up as an xgmD loading screen.

Sample:
BEFORE: Max quality JPG, 1024x768 (749kb) - User Entry
AFTER: XMAS 08 xgmD Wallpaper (586kb) - Edited


Good luck everyone and please, no spamming - comment if you have a screenshot entry

If you can, try forcing your Video card to render textures in Quality rather than in Performance mode. As for screenshots, I'd really rather preffer battle screenshots. If it doesn't have the sufficient amount of gore and awesomeness, I won't be tempted to use it

Great screenshot, man. And, all that blood was ... positively disturbing . Tried myself to make a few phalanx wall shots. Not happy with the result so far, but I'll keep trying.

If you guys continue along at this pace, we might get some relic loading screens for xgmD 2

My video card is not a top quality one, Eventhough, I will try. Here some pictures from custom battle Seleucids vs Ptolemics..

HeroSK: Thanks a lot for your efforts! I'm only going to use the last screenshot though.. A little hint for the future: Use the PAUSE key, when you take screenshots with prnt scr, it hides the PAUSE marker. Also, don't take screenshots where soldiers are openly blocking half the screen up close (screen1 and especially screen2 with that pikeman helmet..)
Just try to mass together a lot of troops in one location and throw a bit of cavalry and missiles there, then choose the right moments to use pause and take screenshots from many angles. Once you have loads of them, you pick out the best one

OK, next time I will be more carefull and next time, I will try to capture more "crowded" screens.

Well, this the result of your little help so far:

I also recommend using spoiler tags for your screenshots, so you don't overwhelm the topic

I'm actually quite bad at photoshop, so meh.. any hints/suggestions? (If you noticed, I'm being a jackass and just using the same style over and over again.. no hard feelings kay?)

[HeroSK]

IMO, with some little modification, they become excellent

Absolutely stunning

[RedFox]

I'll be taking a look at these tomorrow. What you could do though, is take Illyrian Valley map and take some screens with grass and stuff.. I'll turn them into loading screens when I get time.
Remember - I want action and lots of gore! Though the first image with Deuteroi looks good, so do the following 2 elephant images, but the rest is useless
