It’s cool to make an FDR model and your style looks really good. But if you want to be a little more accurate - FDR was actually paralyzed from the waist down, and used a wheelchair to get around. Just a suggestion, your art and all.

I see now… I was always under impression he got paralyzed somewhere near the end of ww2. WW2 documentaries lied to me! 
Well, if someone would want him in wheelchair, i can easily animate him in it.
Yes they did.
I think there are only 3 images/video of FDR with his crutches. He believed if the public knew he was paralyzed they would vote against him.
Back in those days it was common to label a person handicapped/paralyzed as - a cripple or lame. The disease we now call polio used to be called infantile paralysis.
There used to be a damn good documentary on Netflix, and a couple other politically skewed ones as well. The one I remember was good was a 2part documentary.

There was this documentary on History. WW2 in color. I think now i’t on netflix to. There was part when they said “health condition of FDR got worse”, and in that scene they showed him in his wheelchair. I assumed this is when he ended up there… But this makes him more cool and badass! I found this information on Wikipedia: In 1938, he founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, leading to the development of polio vaccines. Amazing!
I created version of him in wheelchair and animated him there. Soon update will be available in the store. Mecanim model of course still remains in the pack.
I must mention, he is also part of my politicians mega pack with 30 stylized politicians.
