After releasing my 'A Journey Begins' Main Menu Replacer, I realized that there were a number of other beautiful pieces of art that have not yet available as main menu replacers, or were available but severely cropped. So I decided to fix that.

This mod includes thirty-three separate pieces of artwork, ready to use as a main menu replacer.



1) Albert Bierstadt, Among the Sierra Nevada Mountains
This art (seen above) is public domain, painted by a German landscape painter in 1868, and is the default option for very good reason: it's gorgeous.

2) Michal Kus, Whiterun Hold
This is perhaps the most famous piece of Skyrim fan-art, by perhaps the most famous artist in the Skyrim fan community.

3) Keith Beltramini, Dark Heart of Skyrim
This matte painting was used in the teaser trailer for 'Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor', then called 'Dark Heart of Skyrim'.

4) Kyrstian Biskup, Homecoming
This is another outstanding piece of Skyrim fan-art, though it's rare to see it properly attributed.

5) Christian Dimitrov, Dragon Mounds
This was created as card art for 'The Elder Scrolls: Legends'.

6) Raphael Lacoste, Northern Lights
This was created as concept art for 'Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'.

7) Jeremy Fenske, Wrothgar Woods
This was created as concept art for 'Elder Scrolls Online: Orsinium'.

8) Cody Madder, Children of the Snow
9) David Aguero, Dragon's Peak
10) Jonas De Ro, Land of Skyrim
11) Sergey Vasnev, Northern Legend
12) Marco Zeek Ribeiro, Skyrim
13) Richard Falla, Skyrim Solitude
14) Tyson Roberts, Viking Village

============
Installation & Instructions
============
To use the 'Replacer' versions, simply download whichever version corresponds to your monitor size: widescreen = 16x9, ultrawidescreen = 21x9.
Then extract and install with a mod manager - I used Mod Organizer 2. There is no .esp to enable.
This main menu replacer is compatible with both Skyrim SE and Skyrim AE (your version must be 1.5.x or 1.6.x).

In order to change the main menu image from Bierstadt's 'Sierra Nevada' to another image, follow these instructions:
1) Open the '/variants' folder.
2) Pick whichever .dds image you like most.
3) Copy-paste that image to the same folder, then rename it 'mainmenuwallpaper.dds' (no quotes)
4) Move that image to the 'textures/interface/objects/' folder and overwrite the existing file there.
5) That's it - you're done.

To use the Randomizer versions, you *must* have lanastara's Main Menu Randomizer SE installed.
The /mainmenuwallpapers/ folder contains all of the textures, identified by name. Each time you open Skyrim, the Randomizer will pick one of these folders, copy-paste it over your /Data/ folder, and replace the existing /data/textures/interface/objects/mainmenuwallpaper.dds file. 

Feel free to customize further by adding new folders & images (using the same format and file structure), removing folders from within /mainmenuwallpapers/ that you prefer not to see, or duplicating specific folders so they're displayed more often. Bierstadt's Among the Sierra Nevada and Kvasznicza's Journey Begins are both duplicated by default.


============
Recommended Mods
============
The only requirement is to own Skyrim SE. This mod does not take up an esp or esl slot.

I highly recommend using this mod with Main Menu Design Replacer; the centralized menu fits most of these images perfectly. Alternately, you can try ReCleaned Menu for a more vanilla look, with the menu in the bottom-right corner.
