I don't know that there are any actual images of any of the Divines, beyond various statues found in the games. And even then, there aren't many.

Created all living things in nirn and not even a statue was made of him, maybe the people of Nirn didnt like Lorkhan. He was killed anyway so that pretty much cuts off the possibility of being acknowledged as a god to present day Nirn residents.

Well, when you think about it, we see a lot of what the Daedric Princes look like, and they try to screw around with the mortal world every chance they get. The Divines, however, pretty much never directly involve themselves, other than Akatosh at the end of Oblivion (and even that's kinda-sorta). Maybe the lack of imagery of them is meant to sort of reflect that?

Off the top of my head, the only Divines statues I recall seeing in the games were Akatosh in the Imperial City, after Martin sacrificed himself; Auriel is the Forgotten Vale (which is pretty much just the Snow Elven aspect of Akatosh, according to Gelebor, so you can sort of just lump them together); and Talos, who was a mortal that become the Ninth Divine.

I'm surprised no one's posted http://daryam.com/Blog/?p=579 yet.

EDIT: Right, so it's Shor, but still it's just one aspect.

It started out as trying to be Shor, but Lorkhan is really a much better name for that particular image. Shor would have to be http://vadamagazine.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/brianblessed.jpg.
