Here he is. My humanized version of Shining Armor in an old version of a prince outfit. I’ll explain how he got this scar (as well as a tattoo on his chest) later on.

First, I got asked why I chose to make him black. Here’s a ‘short’ explanation:

I always disliked the way Shining looked in the EG Movies because he seemed way too skinny/ lanky. So I decided to make him look cool/ tough. As he should.

But even when I was searching for better designs on the internet I couldn’t find any. The main reason for that is propably his hair. Only few tough guys can make a style like that work (Usually they have a beard then.) Later I saw a couple of pictures of him with that weird rounded hairstyle (which I do not like at all) and thought: Why not make his hair dreads? The men who can make dreads work really well in my opinion are usually black. So I tried a few different shades of skin color and got stuck with this one.

In the end it’s all really a matter of subjective preference.

Please don’t be mad if this isn’t what you were hoping for (looking at one specific website)
