inspiration

This mod attempts to mix things up boldly: taking a cartoon-like transparent shadow look with dense visible edges, combined with the aesthetics of gouache, inspired by late Baroque artists like Vermeer and Impressionist painters like Renoir, Manet, Degas, and friends. Everything glows and the colors pop. The experience is surreal, vivid, exciting, and comes with some fantastic effects. This isn't real ENB, it's not next-gen, and it doesn't require 4K Texture Mods or perfect LODs to look good. This has nothing to do with graphics, ever. It's all about aesthetics, baby. enjoy your meal.

expose

This ENB is based on a shader from talented modder JesusFitzRoy, I just played around with the settings and came up with a unique preset. If you want to dig deeper and modify this shader yourself, the file that enables the comic and painterly look is called "enbeffectpostpass.fx". Enjoy setting it up :~)

Install

To install, just do it from the SE folder, not the /Data folder!

Next, download the file provided here. Just unzip, copy and paste the enbseries folder directly into your Skyrim SE folder, just like you just put all the other files in it. That's it, all you have to do is run Skyrim, hit Shift+Enter for the in-game overlay, adjust the values, and have fun!

Inspiration

This mod attempts a daring mix: A cartoonish-cel shaded look, with thick visible edges, mixed with a water-painted aesthetic, with inspiration drawn from late Baroque artists like Vermeer and Impressionists like Renoir, Manet, Degat & friends. Everything glows, colors pop. The experience is surrealistic, vivid, thralling, with a dash of wonder for good measure. This is not a photorealistic ENB, it's not next-gen, nor does it need 4K Texture mods or a perfect LOD in order to look good. It's not about the graphics, it never was. It's all about them aesthetics, baby. Enjoy.
