Only the skulls that drop motifs drop once per day. The other skulls drop all the time. Also, I have 15 characters, but what is the point of getting every achievement on all of them? It's a bit overkill.
I've done world bosses, dolmens, and delves so far. Only the first clear of each dropped a Dremora skull. I was wondering if it was a 'once a day' thing because I wasn't getting anymore afterwards. You can earn them by doing world bosses, dolmens, delves, public dungeons, dungeons, trials, and arenas. However, is it account or character based?

I can't 100% confirm this, but from everything I've been reading is that it's PER ACCOUNT. The easiest way to check this would be to just do a Dolmen boss on two different characters and see if you get the drops. I'll be testing tonight, but I'm fairly certain I know the outcome. If they had it per character...all the nerds who don't have jobs would be flooding the market (sarcasm, kinda).

Achievement unlocked on last character 15 years later....
Yeah I know that some people wanting the achieve on all characters is a little strange but still why have per character achievements if they are going to go down this route. May as well make achievements account wide and get it over and done with.

2017 festival: "Waaah, ZOS, you didn't add any new achievements or motifs! I already completed the Hollowjack motif on every character and bank mule! There's nothing to do this year!"
2018 festival: "Waaah, ZOS, I can't complete the Dremora motif on every character and bank mule! What will I have to complain about for 2019?!"
The 2016 festival had the Hollowjack motifs dropping like candy. Since motifs were not stackable back then, I taught Hollowjack to literally every character, including mule characters on mule accounts, and I know many people who just destroyed the motifs. But for casual players like most of this game's population, the Hollowjack drop rate was great, because it meant that people who logged on only for an hour a day could reasonably complete the motif.
Contrast that to the 2018 anniversary event and the Worm Cult motif. I did over 3000 dailies on NA--daily writs on over 20 characters across multiple accounts plus a bunch of other dailies--and got enough to teach the full motif to just two characters. On EU, my dailies count was a bit shy of 400--mostly daily writs on 3 characters--and I collected only about half the chapters for a full motif. Logging in every single day and doing a full set of writs on 3 characters is more than what most players in this game does. The vast majority of people could not complete Worm Cult.
The Dremora Skulls and motif, though, is perfect. The guaranteed drop per day means not fussing with RNG and it means that most players--those who log on for maybe an hour a day--will be able to complete the achievement and motif without any difficulty. But tempering that guarantee with daily account-wide gating means that the dedicated player will not see a repeat of the 2016 Hollowjack and there will be something left for them to do in future years.
