📋 About This Mod
UPDATED FOR DLC
Intro and Concept Art Loading Screens
This mod replaces all the loading screens with the intro cinematic artwork, art from digital artbook, or concept art from press releases. They all fit the general painting feel. I've also AI Upscaled all images which had the most impact on the lower resolution artbook and press release pieces. I can make these available on request if you want any for a wallpaper etc.. All upscaled artwork including a lot of extras I didn't use have been uploaded as Upscaled Images in Misc Files. I've also included an optional mod to remove the loading screen hints and loading bar so the screen is UI free with just the art showing.
Some of the screens:
V1. 6 Update:
Added art pieces from dlc artbook. Huge thanks to mouska for the help!!
V1. 5 Update:
DLC Update with a few replacements from concept art I could find online. I'd appreciate if anyone could share the artbook so I could add artwork from there to the loading screens.
V1. 4 Update:
Simplified Install to one set of intro loading screens.
V1. 3 Update:
Simplified Install. All the loading screen materials have been shown either in the intro, concept art books, or in trailers.
V1. 2 Update:
Swapped a spoilerish loading screen for a portrait artwork of Ranni.
Added Upscaled Images
Added personal loading screen set: Please install after finishing the game if spoiler sensitive.
Notes:
I loved the intro cinematic art and thought it could use some more visibility. From Software packs a lot of lore into their intro cinematics which makes this mod a great addition if you're trying to figure out what's going on without any lore guides. I've been able to figure a few more details out by studying these while the game loads and hope you do too.
