I made a menu bg

So, I finished a menu background! Looks like this:

Spoiler below!

Warning: File has same name as original menu background (menu_bg.map), please make a back-up copy of the original menu in case you decide you hate mine. You will also need the Justine expansion for the angel statue in the center. Kthxbai
It doesn't cause lag on my computer, even with ZBrush, Photoshop, Level_Editor, and iTunes running with it; also turned the alpha to 0 for most lights and disabled shadows, so hopefully it won't cause too many problems on slower computers. If you want to download it, here is your link

Hate it? Tell me what to do differently.
Like it? Maybe I'll make some more if I get any support Big Grin

Also, thanks for all the patience and help in the Screenshot Criticism thread with this thing. It wouldn't be quite so beautiful if it wasn't for all of you!

You should add one or two dirt/rust static object decals under the torch. It's a bit clean for a torch that just fell over =P

Also, lovin' the billboards.

I will make one. I just don't have time to make it.

I'll try to make a simple one.
