here's de-helmeted shinnok with a new outfit! i've always wanted to see shinnok without his helmet (and i know a few of you have, too). this is probably the most challenging model i've ever made, and also my absolute favorite so far. the process of taking off that helmet was highly challenging to figure out logistically, and involved splicing his face onto another head + adding hair + rigging it all onto the outfit, etc... but don't worry about that and just enjoy him! 

some things to know before you use him:
-IMPORTANT, there is a small seam along his cheek where the face and head are joined. i painted this to be hidden almost perfectly, but it still shows up when you first load the model. to fix this, go to options -> make items optional -> select all -> click Yes when it asks you whether to show items. the seam vanishes instantly. you MUST do this! it will remain fixed once you've done this, until you reset the scene.
-a few face bones at the outer edges will slightly impact the visibility of the seam; they are: cheek lower and upper 2, 3, and 4, eyebrow 3, forehead 2, eyebrow center and eyebrow middle. however, standard expression posing should not change the seam visibility in any major way, nor ruin the model's look at all, so pose his face however you like!
-his outfit is fully resculpted to fit shinnok's body proportions, but there's no poseable bones in the coat skirt part (a drawback of the model i'm using) & the skirt moves along with the spine bones
-his armature is not a t-pose, his arms are out at his sides a bit to avoid clipping with his coat. keep this in mind when using pre-made poses on him, if you do - i suggest making new ones instead. his imgur extra-pics link has some images of his default pose, if you want to look more closely
-there's further info in the readme.txt for any other meshmodders or anyone at all who's curious about the making of prideful shinnok!

i've had the concept for a seven deadly sins outfit theme for shinnok for awhile, and i posted a preview of the prideful shinnok wip some time back, but this is the complete and final version - including a repainted hd shinnok face, full head with no helmet, added hair, and a fancy new outfit that seemed like something shinnok would wear. fittingly, i'm extremely proud of this, but i'm also aware it has a million imperfections; unlike shinnok i am only human. if you encounter any serious glitches, of course let me know, but please remember this is an original meshmod & an attempt to do something nearly impossible. i must say, though, shinnok is, of course, worth all the effort - and i really hope you guys use this model!

here's the components that went into him (many thanks to the creators):

the changes: 
-face lightly repainted for depth and hd texture, slightly more contrast on eyebrows and mouth, no resculpting on the actual physical model because shinnok's face is already excellent
-face attached to complete head, head repainted to match face, etc, lots of painting and seam-hiding until it looks like a unified model and shinnok has an actual non-helmeted head!
-hair added, repainted to blend smoothly into scalp, loose strands covering ears are hidden, more fluff at the back of his neck 
-outfit repainted and re-posed for shinnok's color scheme and aesthetic, new spec/norm/lightmaps

NOTE: a version of de-helmeted shinnok that is just the head is packed within the download (called justthehead.mesh) that can be rigged onto new outfits. it has been de-boned of the body armature, as is standard for my included heads. this is for any 3d modelers who want to play godly dress up, which i myself do way too often. enjoy!
