Revised Shang Tsung MK9

Here, at long last, is a new model - Shang Tsung! This particular wicked sorcerer has somehow ended up at the top of my faves list, and thus, I've been working on his XNA illustration form and MK9R mod form at the same time. I'm glad to say his downloadable model is ready to go. The design priority with Shang was mostly to add a more lively color palette to his outfit, as well as a lot of complex ornamental surface textures - and, of course, a face and skin repaint to make him a bit more realistic than before.
Technical details:
-Brand new painted diffuse, new detail surface textures applied to all outfit areas. Skin and facial hair repainted from scratch. Lightmaps heavily edited. Entirely new norms/specs for depth and shine effects.
-Face sculpt very slightly adjusted for a more realistic look (eyebrows and eyelids). Shang's default pose changed to natural standing. Otherwise, no drastic model changes.
-This version of Shang is playable in-game! More info coming soon.
