Alright I'm back and I'm redrawing right now, bigger shot for more detail. And as far as the soul trap, It's not called Delora's Fire for nothing :wink:.

 

"Delora's Fire came to be when Delora's flesh was corrupted by a powerful Lich. She prayed to

Akatosh to let her continue her quest against the undead hordes. Akatosh answered her plea,

time stood still for Delora and because her blood was so pure Akatosh would grant her one

wish, but she could not remain in her mortal form. And so she wished for her blood to

forever boil without her sword, while her spirit would remain within. Her blood was

enscribed onto the blade and her soul swiftly sank into the sword. From that moment on the

blade became the swift, powerful and shimmering tool of Akatosh known as Delora's Fire."

 

It should be a powerful fire enchanted sword with "undead" slaying qualities. Something only a good natured character could equip.

Left is the old one, right is the new sleeker design.

 

Honestly, I feel the proportions of the original picture were perfect (except for the finger-guard and pommel), the new blade is a tad bit too broad in some places and maybe a little too long. I couldn't think of what to do with the draping finger guard, so I'm leaving that up to you. And you may want to take some liberties with the fire design on the hand-guard, as I'm sure things get much more interesting in 3d hehe. I did the best I could using a mouse to draw a nice looking fire, the spiraling hand-guard doesn't look half bad, but the hilt isn't so hot. Forgot the runes on the spiral guard. I was thinking maybe the runes could just be english text, unless it might get too distracting.

 

I wasn't able to get the texture/color I wanted so I'm referencing this picture. The gold color for the blade and hilt is what i'm after

The hand-guard & blade being the same color on my concept may not look as decorative, but ya never know.
