I have been playing Skyrim and added all of the major Daedric Princes (and new Daedric Prince entry from ESO) as additional npcs that I encounter in my playthroughs. I was amazed to see your Mephala (we are on the same wavelength apparently). I will certainly be using your Namira, as I was never able to get the dirt and filth appearance just right for my version of Namira.
In case you or anyone else decide to turn them into npcs as I did; I recommend that you add the keyword actortype: dremora and perhaps adding them to the Daedric Prince and Dremora factions as well within Creation Kit, that way other npcs and certain mods will recognize them as 'daedric.' Bring about a bit more immersion to certain mods and factions throughout Skyrim.
While I do not plan to make these presets into followers or NPCs anytime, I do appreciate your advice on doing so. If anyone does have interest in taking my presets and making them followers, they are free to reach out to me on Discord, in Nexus DMs, or on this posts tab, and I will let them know/give them permission.
I do plan to make a Ithelia preset once I can get a good picture of her and emulate that to the best of my abilities in Skyrim. I'm glad that you are using my Namira preset. The dirt and grime for her was mostly using the dirt slider and adding in the gashes and flagellation scarring from DomainWolf's Skin Feature Overlays SE mod. I'm glad we had a similar idea for Mephala (though if someone makes web tattoo overlays, I will have to remake Mephala's preset to add those).
Yeah, the Ithelia npc that I had created initially was too 'cookie cut.' I ended up using some of my own creative 'license' to amend Ithelia a bit. When I started modding my Princes years back they started looking too similar for me. I think Zenimaz/Bethesda should probably start incorporating the look of other racial traits or creatures to further differentiate the Daedric Princes. Also, to be fair some of the images that I had to reference were not all from Bethesda (as some Princes did not have a physical humanoid image in their prior games). You though are cooking my friend!

Edit: Oh you made the driikiin race I used for the Hircine preset. I do not know how it works on 1170. I just added it on the whim tbh and it worked.
