A Nocturnal Visual Overhaul
A simple mod to give Nocturnal a unique appearance that is more godlike and Daedric than the vanilla appearance. Based on a combination of her appearance in Daggerfall, concept art for Skyrim, her appearance in Skyrim itself and last but not least, a healthy dose of my own interpretation.
The idea I was going for was that she is literally cloaked in shadows and darkness, achieved with a combination of an animated pattern on her robes and a vanilla effect that emits shadows from NPCs. The red hair is inspired by the Skyrim concept art and the blue and purple skin was just my own way of making her seem less mundane.
Umbral Embrace's Nocturnal is much bigger than vanilla NPCs, standing at 150% of the size of the vanilla Nocturnal - there is however an option to leave her size unchanged.
I also gave her Crow Daedra glowing eyes that match Nocturnal's new glowing eyes.
Please remember to endorse if you enjoy!

Recommended
Daedric Enigma -Daedric Princes Voice Rework- SSE by Satafinix - Gives Nocturnal (and the other Princes) a voice befitting a Daedric Prince that perfectly compliments this mod.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with anything except anything that changes Nocturnal in some way, which should be very few mods.
I haven't touched the record for her vanilla clothes or overwritten any meshes or textures, so any mods where another NPC wears Nocturnal's clothes (i.e. Realm of Lorkhan) should be totally unchanged.
If you put an ENB particle light too close to her robes, they will disappear. (There's nothing underneath to see, before you perverts get any ideas!)

Permissions
The robe mesh, textures, crow meshes and hair are all fair game - just make sure you credit the relevant people from the above section depending on what you use.
If you just want to make a patch or a follower mod or something like that using this ESP as a master then feel free, just give the usual credit and link to this page.
The face mesh and eye textures would require permission from their respective creators if you want to use them in some other unrelated mod.
If you want to port it to Legendary Edition, VR, Xbox, etc. then you not only have my permission but also my explicit encouragement! I am simply too disorganised to support multiple instances of the same mod lol
Thanks
I've not had a mod reach "Hot Mods" before, so I was incredibly happy to see this when I logged into the Nexus today.
Thank you all so much for your endorsements, downloads, support and feedback!
