About this mod

A simple retexture of the World Eater

Permissions and credits
=INTRODUCTION=

Well, when I first played Skyrim, on my girlfriend's Playstation 3, I was really annoyed as soon as I saw the loading screen. It was saying "and the scrolls have foretold of black wings in the cold", so I asked my girlfriend "is that Alduin? That quote talks about him?"

Well, when she told me that yes, that was the "black" dragon the quote was talking about, I was like: "Are you fu****g kidding me?"

=MOD DESCRIPTION=

Let's face it, vanilla Alduin is neither black nor scary, it looks like a toy, something that people would never be really afraid of. I decided to change this, to make Alduin more like the demigod he is supposed to be, more scary, more intimidating. My goal was to have a dragon wich you actuall call World Eater, something that would've make you say "I would be scared as hell by being in front of him", and this is where my mod comes in!

The first thing to do was to get rid of that dull grey color, turning it to a nicer matte black. But that was not enough, the base texture was a bit monochrome, so I started to color the teeth, the claws and, in the end, his mouth. Then I made the eyes, my favourite part of the work. My goal was to make them like two volcanic embers, like Alduin was generated by the fire itself and the fire was stuck in his eyes. Even his gaze had to be scary, like his body appearence. And that is it, the mod was done. At first, I made it only for personal use, but as soon as I looked upon the results of my work, I decided to share it with you.

Now you can really have a true World Eater as a main antagonist of the game, a true black dragon!

=LOAD ORDER=

This mod will obviously conflict with any other mod wich changes the dragons appearance, so if you use, say, Bellyaches HD Dragon Replacer Pack, make sure to load my mod after this one, so you can have bothe Bellyhaches's HD dragons and my black Alduin.

=RECOMMENDED MODS=

There are two mods I would strongly recommend:

Alduin is not made of plastic by Ikibblesticks. Even if is not strictly needed, you may want to install it if you want your Alduin to look exactly like the one in the screenshot. Be sure to place it after my mod in the priority order, or to install it after mine if you use NMM.

Bellyaches HD Dragon Replacer Pack by Wrig675, uploaded by I2edShift. Again, this is not strictly needed in order to make my mod work properly, but if you want all of your dragons to be in HD. Make sure to place it before my mod, in the priority order, or to install it before mine if you use NMM.
