I have looked at Shadow again, mostly through YT videos. I don't own the armor, so I wasn't really saying for sure if it needed any work. It does hold up well, but that is mostly because the armor barely moves at all. In fact, Shadow doesn't move in the slightest except when it's hit. It just morphs into a cloud of black smoke and attacks that way. Granted, its a very well-done animation, and the armor is well-drawn because it is done as one piece. If it had any joints or pivots, it would not have looked as good because the artists just weren't quite ready to make joints for armors that detailed at the time.
What bothers me about Reign is not its art, but its animation. It moves quite rickety and has the movement of older armors. Again, the artist put more effort into that plate than others before him/her. The helmet is not off the character's face in the manner you described. What I meant was that it doesn't quite conform to the angle at which you see the head. Though the head comes with the helmet, it doesn't really fit into it right. Its like the helmet is turned at an odd angle, and the eyes are not quite centered on the nose piece.
Really, I consider these to be low-priority, since this is an armor that will take a long time to get. Lower level items should come before, since they will be seen first. I just think that any changes that Reign needs are very minor (from an artistic standpoint) and wouldn't require a lot of editing.
