Alduin - The World Eater
About this image
A sneak peak at my full 8K retexture of Alduin, a mythic dragon who's both creator and destroyer. I tried to impart that feeling of both being alive and dead. He resembles a reanimated corpse.
The original concept art had his eyes looking like a ring or "god's eye" nebula. I thought of his eye being like a black hole at the center (pupil), while the outside was the field of stars and gases being drawn to into the black hole. Literally a destroyer of worlds.

It is definetley the best Alduin reskin i have ever seen.
Sometimes we say "it's the best i have ever seen", when it might be one of the best :P. But in this case it is 100% so. You do not share the throne of Alduin reskins with anyone else. This here, is the best.
Outstanding work, i am so happy and confident that when this is done i will only need 1 single mod for reskinning dragons in Skyrim, yours. :)
I was thinking perhaps you could keep the rounded pupil, but instead of covering the whole eye with a color, just surround the pupil by a very thin iris in red/orange color while the rest of the eye is pure black. Like that picture of the black hole that was memed to hell and back XD
And if possible, maybe use some of Durnehviir's assets, his slime, put a few strands of undead reddish slime near the back of the jaw in his mouth? Not like covering the whole mouth in slime but just a bit of it near the back, like tendons in a muscle joint ya know what I mean?
perhaps something hipnotic or endless molten lava pit?
The rest doesnt look very sinister to me.
Maybe give him some darker scales, kind of like Alduin Enhanced?
