Artist's Comments
Another one of ~Unicron666's swords. This one was more loosely based on his design than the others, but I think it works a little better this way.
Original sketch: Sword of leaping Demon Final design outline: Sword of the Soaring Dragon Update: Added a tail to the hilt, and adjusted the knuckle guard somewhat. Also changed the red background to white, adjusted the lighting and exposure, and tilted the camera up a little to get a better view of the hilt. Comments
 Move away from that material.. or atleast the dimple effects..
-- "With my Heart as my Shield, Love as my Sword, and my Armour of Faith, I swear to protect you" I wasn't too happy with it either...
It's so hard to find decent scratched metal textures though... Find?! Make your own..! Slack I say!
 -- "With my Heart as my Shield, Love as my Sword, and my Armour of Faith, I swear to protect you"  So... your modeling skills seem to have improved since the last time I stalked you...
-- After an absence, I have apparently reinvented myself as a...photographer? Never would've seen that one coming...  Why would you fint them ?
You should UVmap the model and make the texture and bumpmap in Photoshop instead. Actually, NVIDIA has a Photoshop plugin for making a bumpmap from a texture. If you use CS3, at least. The blade itself looks fine, except from the texture, the scratches look somewhat wrong, and it's a bit too reflective. The handle, however, doesn't look very good. And how would you hold the sword with a part of the blade going that close to it ? Changed it. Better?
How's that?
Look better now?
I forget what it looked like before the change
