I tried to combine different elements of Shang Tsung's design that I liked. I always like his blue and gold/black color scheme over the red, so I went with that. I also liked the long flowing coat, but I wanted to show off his physique since this is him in prime shape, so I went with an open sleeveless vest blowing in the wind. For his hair I was gonna go with something like the new movie design with the top bun, but experimented with some long hair blowing wildly and I liked it better.
