Amazing Fan-made New Eastern Kingdoms Loading Screen

Recommended Posts

eGgxIeY.png
 

We have some impressive fanart to share today, as slendydaddy has looked ahead and, in preparation Shadowlands, re-made the Eastern Kingdoms loading screen! There's been some criticism on the people included, especially the very Alliance-heavy lean, but it's pretty damn good regardless, even though it could use some more Horde presence (as Valeera isn't affiliated with the Horde at all) and Malfurion's inclusion is a little weird. Perhaps slendydaddy knows something about Shadowlands we don't?

it's strange blizzard seemed to want to bring people back to the old zones in BfA but didn't change the loading screens to reflect that, I can't even remember the last time they changed significantly for EK or Kal

It feels quite a bit oversaturated to be honest (Malfurion comes through as the first holy druid of the Warcraft universe), but I like the theme.

They're still the loading screens from Cataclysm, that's when Thrall started wearing the super bead necklace.

I'd like it if they'd take these good fan-mades and just use them.

It's literally free labor, if someone wants their work in there.  

Would be nice but I assume that they can without paying the artist. The question is then why would they and not ask someone they already pay internally!

They wouldnt have to pay them internally to do it, they can focus on creating new content.  There are probably plenty of people who would volunteer to have their work used in major game for little or nothing.  

This guy created the work with zero promise of payback, after all.

...then blizz should have no problem using it for free.  It certainly looks better than current art.

Not really, especially since there is no loth'remar here... And the night elves still live in Kalimdor.

BTW Starym, he does not know something about shadowlands we dont.
He made a kalimdor one too, but it has gallywix leading the goblins (He left the horde... Gazlowe is leading) He also has cairne, instead of baine. He also has thrall with doomhammer and his old look. As Well as Lilian voss, a barely visible velen, and a random troll.

Well, I don't think I see what's so amazing about a bunch of character arts copy-pasted into Eastern Kingdoms map. Moreso, the filters make them blend with the background turning the picture into yellowish mess, duh.

Not necessarily this picture, but other fan art that might be more accurate. 

I mean all they gotta do is put out a feeler and SOMEONE will make it.  I guarantee it.  

I mean a chance to have your own artwork in a major retail game?  

...and for the night elves, I swore their entire main city portaled to SW after the tree burnt.

So a full list of everything wrong in both maps.

 

EK-
Malfurion is still in darkshore.

Greymane does not look like that in wow, that is Hots artwork.

Mekkatorque artwork is already out of date, as he now has a large machine on his chest.

Valeera is not part of the blood elves, she is part of the Alliance, he instead of Loth'remar makes no sense.


That dwarf is magni... Who does not lead the dwarves, and is made of diamonds right now. Why is he there instead of at least ONE of the council of three hammers who lead the dwarves.

 

Kalim-

Velen is extremely overexposed why? he looks so bad in this.

The thrall art is straight from warcraft, why there is random orcs in the background, idk but it makes it cluttered. Thrall is also weilding doomhammer, and well this is art from warcraft reforged, yes this is thrall from over 10 years ago, he looks nothing like this now.
That tauren is cairne... who has been dead for many years now... that is not baine...

I do not know who this troll is in the top right but its not Rokhan.

Why is gallywix here? he has also left the horde along side sylvanas, he is no longer the leader of the goblins. Gazlowe is.

 

Final score-

EK has only 1 person correct.

Kalim has only 2 people correct, but one of them looks like a blob.

 

 

I normally would not go this hard on something fan made, but its rather easy to do if not just time consuming, as none of the artwork is actually fan made, its just blizz artwork put together on top of a map. Especially since so many things are just blatantly wrong that could have been easily fixed by using other characters.

The issue of "There is no art of them" doesent work, cause if you are going to use genn's artwork from hots, why not gazlowes? As gazlowe is leading the goblins, not gallywix.

There is also up to date loth'remar art, so no excuse of "valeera was the only one with up to date art"

 Pair that with news sites like this blowing it up "AMAZING FAN MADE" and blowing off right out mistakes as "Perhaps the mistake was not a mistake, and they know something we dont." I know its a slow news day but come on.

 

 

 

Its a good job of throwing stuff together, im sure removing the background from some of these pieces must have been hell. But it coulda been done a lot better, and the person does not "know something about shadowlands we do not" im more annoyed this is somehow passed as worthy news, then someone having just made it.

Valeera isnt Alliance nor Horde! She fights for her friends and ideals no matter which faction they belong to.

      The new War Within Allied Races was added to the Alpha today and we already have a full look at not only all their customization options, but their dances as well, courtesy of MrGM! You can check out the Earthen's racial abilities here if you missed them earlier. 
      Let's start with the more dynamic feature, with both male and female dances:
      And then there's big amount of customization options, as well as a size comparison with regular dwarves:

      So, are we liking the new Allied Race overall? More than actual dwarves?

      Here's a really cool possibility for the War Within, as a very subtle and mildly mysterious comment from Executive Producer and Vice President for WoW, Holly Longdale, may be hinting at our Warband characters getting a lot more involved in our travels! 
      First spotted by UlthansWrath, Longdale came up to Taliesin & Evitel at the recent London War Within Alpha press event and had a short chat about the Warband screen, when she casually said "wouldn't it be cool if those were the characters you took as your followers in your Follower Dungeons?" After the obvious confirmation from Taliesin and Evitel that, yes, yes it would be cool, she just said "hm" and that was the end of the conversation.
      Obviously this isn't any sort of official confirmation, but considering this is a really awesome idea, it seems likely Blizzard are at the very least discussing it, if not already working on it.

      The Warband system is already great, and this would add a lot to it for players that choose to go solo into dungeons, as it would give them even more motivation to get some great characters in their Warband - even if it was just a cosmetic option.
      So, what do you think, will we be seeing this feature when the War Within launches?
