Draco856 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Looks good either way, though I'm partial to the eye version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leot486 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I like it so far, but the handle looks really long. To long for the blade, so personally I think you should make the blade a little longer. Nice otherwise. But as someone said before, I think if it was to be a sword you craft from alduin, I feel it should resemble him more some how. Maybe the head on the handle could look like his, or something.

PrometheusTS Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Thankyou what u mean by partial ? And btw does it look enough Nordic feel or still aztec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosu Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) And after a second look...the handle is really a bit too long, would make it shorter and maybe thicker. In my opinion not very nordic but it works. Edited December 18, 2011 by ghosu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusTS Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 I did it long to balance the sword as is a 2 h sword anyway that is fixable any time , how bout the nord look what woudl make it look more nordic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosu Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Ah 2h, thought it is 1h. Nordic? Well hard to say...i guess it is he shape of the blade and the curved shape of the whole thing. Afaik this is not very nordic...most swords are straight ones when i check out google. The dragon itself looks very chinese, the inscription on the blade as well, when i think 'bout nordic dragon it's more like this: http://files.myopera.com/JohnWilliamGodward/blog/VikingsShipHead.jpghttp://www.mysticgiftsandcharms.co.uk/images/products/fb4_sacreddragonamulet.jpghttp://www.eriknelsonart.com/dragonboxdet.jpg But i would leave it this way, i like the style.

The Slight Katana like profile is intentional , the sword is like a hybrid mix of oriental and western feel ... Added a Slit like Eye m a claw guard and teeths , how about those changes ? does it still has a nordig look? ofc those changes are PS made ... http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/6685/dragonsword2.jpg and please eventually suggest me a way tomake it feel more nordic in the look without altering the overall shape?

Draco856 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 By partial I mean I prefer the version with the eye more then the one with out. To make it feel more nordic, I'd say you'd have to change those blocks on the top and bottom of the handle, maybe put some different carvings in there? Perhaps a sculpted version of Alduin's Wall. Perhaps even take some Celtic inspiration for it, as every time I look for Nordic artwork, I get Celtic influences, I found at least one good image of a Dragon while looking: http://www.etsy.com/listing/60298812/celtic-dragon-art-print It seems to me, in Nordic art, there aren't many solid undecorated carvings, which is what gives off the Aztecian feel, an uncarved block. A design to break it up might get rid of that feeling. Maybe keep the blocks for those who enjoy the current look of the handle. But for me, as long as it's got a dragon head, I want it.

OopsXP Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Looks a little like a Ebony Greatsword, I know this isn't possible (yet) but wouldn't it be sweat if when you were absorbing Dragon souls (Or maybe used Elemental Fury) Flames spurted out the mouth and swirled around the blade...
