This is really cool! Renders look amazing. Unfortunately I cannot recognize Shen aside from your thread title.
Mostly because I cannot see his usual color scheme or silhouette in your design. Perhaps two swords on his back might help. Was there a certain concept you were following for a custom skin?
Don't get me wrong. This is amazing as a stand alone character. As a fan art however it deviates away from Shen's design at the moment.

Yes, I totally agree with you, my version does not look like the original character of the game! I wanted to portray this character because he was in the real world!
I don't see Shen, I see an Ottoman Empire soldier.
If you were going for Ottoman Empire Shen, I think I would get it, but part of me tells me I would still need someone else to tell me that. I don't think I would be able to get it from the image.
I imagine Shen to be a Japanese ninja, so iconography, shape language, and general designs from Japanese bushido period ninjas, I assert, would be more appropriate even if it was a realistic take on the character.
But I like the character you got right now. I dig it! It just looks more Ottoman / Persian and less Japanese to me.
If that was the intention, awesome! If not, it's not a complete target miss.

Thank you for your comments guys, I am very pleased! In fact, the goal was not to repeat the game character, and create something of their own! I am very pleased your feedback. Thank U!
