The dragon textures are still in progress; I have some side projects (commissions) I have to pay attention to as well, and dragon replacer is a very big project, so as I said before I wouldn't expect them to be released this month or the next one.

(I remember about freckles for ALT2 and Oblivion textures, don't worry!)

This one, however, is about an NPC replacer I quietly started making for myself (at start). I've been collecting references close to 3 years now, and I wanted to make sure every NPC (including generic faces of nameless bandits) have a prototype I can base their preset on. Is it insane? By all means, yes. Is it something I want to do and I enjoy doing? Also yes. This is another too-big-for-one-person project, so just like with the dragons, I wouldn't expect a release - only preview builds for now. It's a mix of low-poly (for NPCs with a few lines of dialogue) and high-poly (using HP head by KouLeifoh) characters, with different hairstyles. I'm making it with ALT2 and Eyes mod 2 in mind, so those are dependencies. That allows me to mix and match textures even for most generic NPCs, and I try to make sure that even vanilla low-poly heads are looking smooth.

So, here are some of the NPCs I've already done (i.e. they're in-game and working, not just presets). Faralda and Colette are low-poly:

Sapphire is also low-poly - and don't worry, I've fixed the hairstyle bug and a few others:

Mirabelle due to having a unique voice and a relatively big role in College's plotline, is high-poly:

All followers - quest-fixed or not - are using the high poly head. here's Jenassas the hireling (who of course will use any scar retexture you've got installed, but otherwise will look like that):

Here's Lydia, your housecarl:

Lynly, low-poly, also known as Svidi now matches her description in the game:

Young & with black hair.

There are more NPCs than that, I usually post my progress in the #your-screenshots channel on my Discord server: https://discord.gg/dcVbwqQ

Question: would you like me to continue this overhaul?

Before you ask: yes, I've planned to replace the males as well. But it's probably going to be Dizona Body only deal, and I would like to make new textures (8K) for it. But for now I'm focusing on female characters because I already have made a texture set I'm happy with (ALT2).
