Unique Telvanni counsilors

[TenShadows]

Am I the only one who was a little disappointed by how the Telvanni leaders look, appearance-wise? These are, after all, not only some of the most powerful mortals in the entire setting (if you can even call them mortals anymore), but also some of the very few NPCs in the game with real, developed, and unique personalities. Yet for all their importance and depth, their appearances are so very common, and I'm sad of that.

 

Take mistress Therana, for instance. One of the oldest Telvanni, and by extension, one of the oldest living things on Vvardenfell or even the entire Tamriel (Divayth Fyr as one possible exception), she's also hopelessly insane and demented, rambling on and on about her past as a little girl, and overall reminds me of a mad old crone. I'd imagine when I looked at her, I'd see this insanely old, tiny, thin little woman, yet perhaps with a premonition of great magic and power behind it - but all I see is the usual middle-aged dunmer with the normal extravagant robes, fundamentally no different from any other dunmer in the world. The others, though perhaps somewhat less eccentric, are no different: I'd so love it if their looks reflected the work put on them, something like this piece of concept art, but I guess I can't have nice things.

 

Is there a mod out there that would try and fix this matter, or am I really the only one who is bothered by it at all?

I'm having a little trouble distinguishing exactly what that picture is portraying. All I can make out is a pair of arms.

I have similar trouble myself: I cannot quite see any human shape in it or how it's supposed to go, all I know is that I vastly prefer it to what we have in-game right now.
