Hello Dovahkiins! Finally, after long time I motivated myself to create this modification and I'm very happy with the results, I hope you like it too. If you have any suggestions or requests for further HDRP modifications, let me know. Enjoy!
Some of the original textures are 2048x4096 but most of them are smaller, especially with the clutter bones etc. I've simply downscaled all of HalkHogans excellent retextures to max 2K with CAO and it's still an noticeable improvement compared to the vanilla look.
Fantastic work on this - I'm going to give honest and detailed feedback:
The great: * Dragon_N : This is great, better than the vanilla and AFAIK Bellyache did not previously cover this. * DragonAlt_N: Also great! I appreciate that you didn't miss this variant. * TranslucentWings textures: Huge improvement over vanilla and much better than the one founds in Bellyache's pack. * Skeletal dragon, Durnehviir: This is a huge improvement over vanilla, great work. But I haven't compared them against other retexture mods out there. * Alduin: Huge improvement and much better than Bellyache, haven't compared to other retextures.
The good: * Diffuse textures for all dragons (except Alduin, Durnehviir, and skeletal): Since your textures are scaled up in only one direction compared to the HD texture pack (and the retextures made by other users), there is more detail in one direction but not the other, which is unusual. So, I compared your textures along the "worst" dimension, the one that hasn't been scaled up. In which case these are almost exactly the same quality as Bellyache's work - not significantly more detailed than the HD texture pack, but there's a slight sharpening which is nice. Compared to Bellyache, these textures are more stylistically consistent with vanilla, which is good for a texture overhaul IMO but of course it's up to an individual's taste whether they prefer the vanilla style or Bellyache's style.
The bad: *DragonBlack_N: This, unfortunately, is lower quality than the one included in the vanilla HD texture pack.

Here is a small leak regarding what I am currently working on: HD Reworked Dragon's Armory #1, HD Reworked Dragon's Armory #2
Cheers.

Thank you so much Halk :)
