Art of Middle Earth loading screens

**Tyre** · April 21, 2010, 05:13 AM

I've compiled every bit of art I could find from Middle Earth and turned them into loading screens!

224 screens total!!

(I have noticed some pictures are cropped incorrectly and I have some more pics to upload so I will be releasing a patch at some point.)

This will overwrite my loading screens.

If you were able to find hi rez versions of ME artwork it will look great.

Nice work! I actually prefer traditional artwork than movie pics (or photoshopped images), but you have included some pictures that shouldn't be there... (like one with a goblin spider-rider from BFME2...)

Also, maybe you should keep only those that refer to the Third Age? (and not the First)

It will overwrite loading screens if that mod has any.

I like the artist's style who did the bfme 2 art, if there is a pic you dont like its easy to remove.

I was going to stick with 3rd age art but found I would miss out on too many beautiful paintings.

Couldn't he rename some of the screens (just change the numbers) to fit them all?

Downloading now - looks awesome (although i love Louis Lux's VE screens aswell). I'm going to merge the best pictures from yours with the VE top and bottom bits (the stones and rocks) because i prefer those and they match the VE menus. (oh and just for my personal use, so don't worry about that

) But yeah seriously nice work!

If you go in the loading screens folder you'll find a top and bottom .png image with the middle part transparent

Is there a maximum number of loading screens available?

**Comandertony** · April 23, 2010, 05:58 PM

i dont think so but these are awesome. you dont want to many so that you dont get to see them all.
