Shad's getting into shape. So, I'm going to, eventually, upgrade the rest of Shad's attires to this new form. So instead of building a body around a small bit of an FE sprite, I instead made a body for Shad using wrestler Lio Rush as a reference. He's the same height, so it worked out well. The only issue was that I didn't want to do his old undergarments, which I based from Dragon Age. So instead, I found a picture of those trousers and kinda haphazardly put them on him. The idea was to get a base for a new body more than showing what's under his clothes, so I didn't put much thought into it. This version is also up to date with Shad's current wounds, so the marks on his arms from the crossbow bolts are there, the cut across his arm and the scarred up left hand. Which I like far more than I did before.
Shad's current build only really works for the old Shad. The Shad that lived in his father's shadow his entire life, living a secure life at home only occasionally fighting. This Shad, besides having to fight to survive and eventually take back his home, wasn't trained by Daren. He isn't purely a fencer anymore. He's a swordsman with a foundation based in fencing. His training was much different. Training with Lennox would put on more muscle than his intended training. And after getting his home back, he would have had the knights led by Marcus to train with. Plus, all the chainmail in walks around in under his coat can't hurt.
Eventually, this should lead me to redoing Lennox as well, as he's someone benefits far better with the more impressive frame.
