GavstormNL Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 ... and I made it in... wait for it... Yes, paint. But it turned out quite nicely. I'd really appreciate it if someone would model and texture this and put it in game with a simpe esp file. I don't like asking for things, but I really can't model, and if I could've done it myself I would. I'm just really moddingwise challenged... I'm just not as artistic as those awesome modders are (yes, I'm boot-licking ^^ ) Well, I'd seriously be forever be in debt to the person who would be able to make this! Thanks! http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4450/eruanna.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraelin Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hmm... that looks... strange. And the lack of a pommel would probably make it fairly top-heavy... Any particular reason why it has to be exactly like that? Is there a story behind it, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativelybest Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hmm... that looks... strange. And the lack of a pommel would probably make it fairly top-heavy... Honestly, I've seen worse. It does seem to have some kind of metal part down there. And, anyway, pommels aren't nearly as important as you'd think. Over-all, yeah, it's pretty crude and could use a bit of refinement. But, again, seen worse. Has potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraelin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well, I'm not saying it's the worst thing ever, mind you. Just asking if, I dunno, it's perhaps a crystal blade or something? Otherwise there's no real reason to have that faceted tip and generally low polycount blade in this age, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavstormNL Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) This sword is my own creation based on the weapons from the Inheritance series (Eragon). The blade is made of Brightsteel (steel from a meteor) and is colored by magic. The pomel is an emerald (though I didn't really make that clear in the picture. Didn't know how to make claws that "hugged" the gem. The crossguard is made of silver and the grip is wrapped in leather. The blade is supposed to glitter in sunlight, since its made of Brightsteel, and all that. Oh, and it's a one handed blade. You do see why I can't make this sword myself. I can't even draw it correctly in paint.. :P Thanks for the replies! EDIT: Oh, by the way, if it isn't too much to ask, I'd really love it if the name of the sword could be "engraved" in the blade, like in the case of, for instance, Anduríl, from LoTR.

Moraelin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well, ok, but is there some reason for that tip, for example? I.e., why can't it be something more like, say,http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/13804-1-1336745764.jpg Yours seems to be a diamond-section blade, which were basically piercing swords. They're not as made for impact with the edge, which was what lenticular section swords were good at, although make no mistake, they could still cut pretty good. But the real strength was that the diamond section blade was stiffer and didn't flex half as much as a lenticular one when thrusting against armour, hence it also usually came with a very sharp tip for piercing.

GavstormNL Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 The tip was just an artistic freedom on my part. I wanted to make it look like 3d. It wasn't ment to be a diamond-section. The tip should be a little like the sword "Brisingr", by Merong on Oblivion Nexus. So a bit rounded. I couldn't do that in Paint, though. Or at least, not with my skills... http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/4607/naamloosdr.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraelin Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ah, it's ok. I'm just making sure exactly what is it you want. Precisely because it's hard to guess what's actually important to your concept, and what is just a limitation of MS Paint :P For example, Brisingr looks like a Group 1 lenticular section blade with long fuller, probably a type XI or Xa, while taking guesses based on just the drawing was leading me in the opposite direction. Hmm, ok, that starts to sound interesting. So, basically, so far it looks like you want essentially thishttp://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/10272-1-1329586362.jpgor maybe more like a Type Xa. Judging by the drawing, more or less with the cross from this dagger:http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/images/13804-1-1336745931.jpgAnd a custom grip and pommel? Or is the grip ok as it is, and you just need a crystal pommel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guard and hilt of the dagger is also perfect, except it indeed needs an emerald pommel. This looks cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativelybest Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Because I was bored, I decided to make a design inspired by GavstormNL's drawing and description: http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/6038/eruannaconcept.jpg Iron Sword included for scale.
