CREDITS
I used Cabal's Amidianborn Book of silence normal maps as a base to create my own whenever applicable (many of these artifacts were not covered by amidianborn, so this only applies to things like Savior's hide, the rueful axe, etc).
Fomod lets you pick and choose what you want.
Textures are 2k except Chest armor/robes textures and Dragon Priests, which are 4k.
Half-res version available in Optional files (Weapons and shields are 2k, everything else is 1k)

Artifacts / unique items are obviously a big part of the game that I aim to improve with this retexture. But there are plenty of other mods out there that touch artifacts/unique items in different ways and I want to give a shout-out to a few of my favorites that I would recommend to everyone Of course, none of these are required.
GAMPELAY MOD
Artificer - An Artifact Overhaul by SimonMagus, Deltarider and Oreo
When it comes to artifact overhauls, Artificer is the one I would recommend. I love all its changes to existing artifacts and newly added ones. I also had the chance to work with Simon, Deltarider and Oreo to add an optional texture addon to give custom visuals to artifacts that are normally copies of vanilla items
House of Horrors - Quest Expansion & The Only Cure - Quest Expansion by JaySerpa
I am a big fan of JaySerpa's work and would recommend all their mods. They all add immersion and fun new twists to existing Skyrim content.
Royal Armory - New Artifacts by PrivateEye
This mod gives unique named weapons to various important NPCs. All these new models are great and use vanilla texture paths, meaning they work with my retextures. Overhaul I would recommend all mods by privateEye!
Legacy of the Dragonborn SE by Icecreamassassin and the rest of the LOTD team
I don't think I need to say much about Legacy of the Dragonborn as most of you will already know of this mod. It has been a staple in my load order for years and would definetily recommend it for anyone who likes to collect items and display them.
VISUALS NOT COVERED BY MY RETEXTURE
I decided not to cover any non-weapon or armor artifact. This means I did not cover Azura's star and the skeleton key. Here are my favorite existing retextures for the items that I think would fit well with my style of textures:
Azuras Star and Skeleton Key Remastered SE by dpillari
RUSTIC AZURA'S STAR by Gamwich
Another Azura's Star Retexture by Darenii
Elsopa - Azura's Star Redone SE by Elsopa
Elsopa - Skeleton Key Redone by Elsopa
