ResolveThatChord Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Exquisite. Really, this is fantastic quality. I have no criticisms.That said, I've never seen anything like the different shades of metal on the blade. If you're going for a folded steel effect like Damascus steel, then I think you'll want more variation, sort of like this:http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/103501720/AE_Damascus_Steel_Knife_Blade_BL24.jpg But you clearly know what you're doing, and it looks fantastic anyway. I say go ahead and release it- I want it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusTS Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 The blade is still in doubt the folded metal texture is directly worked out of a true nihon to ... But I have yet to work it more to add some polising marks differtial grading of the folding ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusTS Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Here is a preview of the scabbard ... comments and sugestions open .... http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2512/scabbard.jpg http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/5713/scabbard2.jpg Edited February 17, 2012 by PROMETHEUS_ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civ77 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 If you want a more razor like look on the blade, you could reduce/remove the metal grain from the shiny edge bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusTS Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I have found this map online and Ladyeternity confirmed me that it was among the skyrim folders , http://www.imperial-...aven_temple.jpg but the Dragon with the paulownia crest with 5-7-5 leaves reserved for the prime minister of Japan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Go-shichi_no_kiri_crest.svg doesn't seem much fitting so I removed and reworked a biut the dragon making a more unique Akavir mon , we coudl easily suppose that this coudl be the Ancient Akavir blades symbol and I placed on the scabbard ... As for the sword I nearly finished the scabbard ... I am also tjinking of a posestand but will see if is possinle to take and leave and activate where u like posing sword and scabbard into position ...

Jakisthe Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Wait...so...the scabbard wraps around/straps in the sword? I mean, it LOOKS good, but from a realism/practically perspective, that's pretty...uh...pretty bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResolveThatChord Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Rule of Cool, Jakisthe! I think it looks awesome, and it'll only look slightly wierd when it clips as it's sheathed and unsheathed. Vanilla swords with scabbards already clip during sheathing in noticable ways, so I'd say it's consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, having a sword on your back that large isn't very realistic nor practical so it doesn't really matter much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakisthe Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hehe, I know it looks cool and that there's plenty of already unrealistic things about it and it really doesn't matter in light of how awesome it looks anyway, but it rubs me the wrong way for some reason. I'm just weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
