The inner ice texture was made by recoloring the translucency map from this Cracked Ice texture: https://www.textures.com/search?q=ice%20cracked%20seamless

"Frost Atronachs, now with a much-needed bit of class"
This is a full retexture of Frost Atronachs, complete with eyes (no more walking thumb-things!)
(The video above shows the Icy Blue variant, but there also is an Ocean color option) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Specific Changes:
Created a smoother normal map so the surface looks more like ice
Created a new outer frost texture by referencing the normal map (so now the frost actually accents the contours)
Added EYES to the outer frost texture!!!
Used a completely new inner ice texture - the interior now looks like it has cracks/veins
Compatibility: Pure textures here, so it should be compatible with everything aside from other frost atronach retextures (in which case they would obviously overwrite safely) Frost atronachs use the Shiny Dull cubemap. Since vanilla cubemaps are underwhelming, so I highly recommend using this mod with Quality CubeMaps - HD Cube Maps by Kartoffel or, for an optimized upload: Quality CubeMaps - HD Cube Maps Optimized by Kartoffel, Soulmancer, and Kulharin
