LE Argonian Dragon Priest Masks

[Edsh0t]

I know this has been requested before, and I know there is the open mask mod for beast races, but...it doesn't quite fit. I Imagine that the Argonian versions of the masks should be based of dragon's skulls.

Now, in my completely ignorant perspective, this could be achieved by either scaling down the dragon skull trophy, removing the lower jaw and replacing the texture for that of the masks;

Or, by using Argonian skulls from this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52981/? (with permission and credit of course) and retexturing it.
Opinions? Ideas? Volunteers for the mod in question?

But here is the thing....there are no argonian dragon priests, so do explain how your character has a mask of design that no other dragon priest has because it does not really make sense at all.

Yes I know its not lore friendly, but I hate to see my argonian's face clipped by the mask, it makes even less sense to lose my face I believe. It would be a replacer for the normal dragon priest masks.

Dude, just install this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24766/?

 

And roleplay that your argonian wore his dragon mask on his crotch.

I have an idea. How about a mechanic is added, that makes Argonians (and Khajiit as well?) initially unable to wear the masks. In order to make us of them, you have to take them to a forge, and if you have a mask in your inventory, you'll find a recipe for an iron contraption, shaped after your race's face, which you attach the mask to. I say iron, since anyone can forge iron regardless of smithing perks.

 

I have no idea how the contraption would look, but since a custom mesh is required, maybe the creator could come up with something.

 

With this, you enable the beast races to wear the masks, while at the same time it does somewhat makes sense.

Unfortunately, I REALLY like wearing masks and it would fit my RP.

That would be perfect, heck it can use the same material that is needed to upgrade them as to make further sense, and make it a lil harder.

That doesn't nescessarily make more sense than just iron, it'd just make it more complicated. The contraption is there to attach the mask to, it's material is irrelevant.

 

Imagine this. You're playing an Argonian mage, and you don't use smithing. You find Morokei, and of course you want to wear it. Why do you need to make it difficult and craft it out of moonstone? You need the Elven smithing perk to forge moonstone.

I suppose, but be it reforging the mask to fit your face or attaching it with a contraption we need someone willing to do the mod. Any takers?

Well I can't help as far as mesh/texture...the only thing I could do to help would be to put it into an item and add in the crafting recipe for it...

 

So assuming you can find a mesh/texture artist or a mesh/texture as a free-to-use resource (or with permission) I can do it.

Why not create a quest where you have to meet up with someone to create a mould for your face (The face sculptor in Fiten would be nice), Collect items for her like clay mud and other stuff.... take that mould and the mask to a smithy (Special forge or not doesn't matter), and make the mask that fits to Argonian or Khajiit's faces without ruining the lore to much, and you still get the thing to fit... I don't know I feel it would work.
