Hey everyone, happy Friday!
I am mostly done with all vanilla, DLC and CC artifacts (just a few last tweaks here and there). I am starting to work on consistency patches. I want to cover LOTD since I have been doing it for most of my mods, but "artifacts" is a very vague term, so I am not sure what to cover. I have interest in making a pr...

Following your feedback, I will soon start posting a monthly "suggestion gathering post" (thanks to JPDreamer for the idea!). However, please feel free to comment your sugge...

I want to start off by thanking every Patron, whether you are still subscribed or not. Your support means a lot to me and I am extremely thankful!
Lately, I have been trying to think about how to improve my Patreon. I figured I should start by asking all of you!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well!
I've been getting pretty burnt out on artifacts lately. While it's a project I definetily want to release soon, I will be honest with the fact that I do not enjoy working on it. Most of it is done but I still have many CC items to do.
For this reason, I decided to give myself a little 2 ...
Hey everyone! Here's a few more artifacts I worked on this week. Still loads to go. This retexture feels like it's never ending..!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well.
I came back from vacation over the weekend. My wife and I had a really good time! Thank you to everyone who wished us a happy vacation!
I am still jet lagged and unfortunately sick (thankfully I only started feeling sick when I got back home, so it did not affect the trip!). But I got ba...
Hey everyone! If this post is up, it means that I am away on vacation! I will be back on October 23rd.
Work on the artifacts retexture has started but there is still loads to go. I will be right back on it when I am back.
Thank you as always for all the support!
Hey everyone!
As I am finishing to pack my bags for my trip, I took a bit of time to work on some artifacts!
Pictured above are spellbreaker, masque of clavicus vile, ring of namira, ring of hircine and khajiit's ring.
I don't usually cover jewelry but I did these ones as a test and I'm fairly happy with how they came out! I...
Hey everyone!
ElectricSparx, Darenii and I release a new mod yesterday! It adds new sets of robes lootable from dragon priests. The first release required King Priest and Artificer to work, but we just pushed an update that includes a standalone version. You will only need SPID and KID for it to work correctly.
I hope you all like i...
Hey everyone!
A few days ago, I started working on the artifacts retexture. This one will be another very big retexture. It will include most unique items from vanilla skyrim and Creation Club that I have not covered yet. I will also redo/update the ebony blade and volendrung and include them here. As I was not planning on doing an artifa...
Hey everyone! First of all, thank you all for all the support and kind comments for the dragon priest release! It was a huge project but definetily one I was passionate about and that I am proud of. I'm glad to see many people enjoying it!
On the topic of Dragon Priests: I spent the last few days working with ElectricSparx (author of King...
Hey everyone! Just a heads up that I will release the dragon priest retexture tomorrow

Hi everyone, happy Monday!
Here is a wip for my retexture of Miraak. I'm pretty happy with Miraak's mask and outfit. Not too sure what to do with the staff. It's a bit hard to work with as it has a strong green cubemap / reflections applied to the mesh directly. I cannot tweak its intensity with a texture, unfortunately.
I'll also rete...
Hey everyone! Here are the final dragon priests, Vahlok, Otar and the 3 acolytes
I also redid Ahzidal's robes as I really preferred the green cloth on Ahzidal himself. The red looked bland. So I went back and changed the robes to fit
I also realized Wyrmstooth's Suylek is not a dragon priest, he's a draugr wearing a mask. Unfortuna...
Hey everyone, happy Friday!
I ended up redoing all the priests I showcased yesterday and did a few more. Only Otar, the 3 acolytes and Vahlok are missing now. I also did option blue version of morokei, and gilded ebony or silvered ebony for nahkriin.
I decided to go back and use Amidian's normal map as a base, instead of vanilla. I...
Hey everyone!
Thanks to my fellow modders and friends Dareni, Delta rider, SeaSparrow and ThirdEyeSqueegee, I learned how to create a SPID Addon to make every dragon priest use a custom texture! This will be completely optional, but I would highly recommend it. It's a mod I wanted to do for so long but never knew how.
I have done ...
Hey everyone!
Here are Konahrik, KA's Konahrik Sets, Stalhrim sets and Heartstone sets. With these, All of Konahrik's Accoutrements robes and custom masks are done!
The stalhrim mask is also used in LOTD, without the robes. For both the LOTD and KA versions, there will be an optional Refrozen Stalhrim Patch (a mod I highly recommen...
Hey everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend.
Here are the 3 acolytes (Zahkriisos, Ahzidal and Dukaan), with their KA sets. The final mask is Haldriin, from LOTD. I tried to have every mask represent their element well (Shock, fire and ice, respectively).
If you are not using KA, all acolyte masks will use the black hood from Za...
Hey everyone, I hope you are all having a nice weekend!
Here are a few more masks and KA sets: Otar (Malachite/glass), Volsung (Corundum/copper) and KA's craftable Glass mask and robes
Hey everyone! Here is an update for the Dragon priest retexture.
I decided to make Krosis match with the dwemer armor, since it's supposed to be gold-bronze.
For Morokei, I decided to give 2 options. This mask is supposed to be made from Moonstone, and moonstone in skyrim can be used to make Elven armors and weapons, where it will ...
Hey everyone!
Since Nahkriin is an ebony mask, I decided to fit my ebony retexture and offer 3 versions to match whichever option you took for the ebony armor (normal, gilded or silvered). Of course, you don't need to take the same option in both mods, but it's what I would recommend doing for extra consistency!
Hey everyone! Thank you for the feedback yesterday.
Here is my latest version of the full rahgot sets, the clay mask (from KA) and a few screenshots showcasing my patch for warmonger's armory's belt fastened masks (the patch just makes sure the proper textures are applied to them). I will also create a patch to make sure my textures are a...
Hey everyone!
Here are some more previews for my dragon priest retexture.
Pictured above is Vokun, which is supposed to be made of steel so I made it match with the steel plate armor. I also included screenshots of my version of the Vokun robes from KA.
Then there is the wooden mask and a WIP version of Raghot. I want Raghot to...
Hey everyone! Here is a 1st look at my dragon priest retexture. This one should be very big, so it will most likely take a little longer than my last few retextures.
Pictured above is Hevnoraak, with the matching robes and armor from KA. It is a good example of my design philosophy for this retexture. I want to masks to look fairly simple...
Hey everyone! The forsworn retexture is out! I hope you all like it.
Next up will be dragon priests!
Hey everyone!
The forsworn retexture is almost done! All I have left to do are the bow and arrows.
Pictured above are the staff, war axe and sword. Then the weapons that will be in my LOTD consistency patch: Staff of melka and Bloodthorn (there's an axe called briar or something also, but it does not use any custom textures). I als...
Hey everyone, happy Monday!
Here's an update on the forsworn retexture. I just finished both versions of the female set (regular, and my optional old gods replacer) and also updated the antlers on the male old gods helmet to more closely match the actual white stag seen in Hircine's quest.
I only have the weapons left to do and tha...
Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well.
Recently, I said I had decided to not do the forsworn armor. My main reasoning was that it was not an easy set to do and I thought most people would just prefer using Rustic's version anyways .
Having thought more about it, I realized that while yes the main reason for my retextures are ...
Hey everyone!
I am excited to announce that I had the chance to work with my friend and fellow mod author SimonMagus616 for his upcoming mod: Artificer - An Artifacts Overhaul.
Artificer will revamp most unique items and artifacts, add new ones and give some of the more visually boring artifacts a fresh coat of paint! This is where...
