Zar'roc, a dragonslayer's sword

Hey guys, I was browsing the nexus and I noticed that there isn't a zar'roc sword model that does justice for me. For those of you that don't follow the Eragon series (the Inheritance Cycle), zar'roc was this sweet looking blade that Eragon received from his mentor before having it taken away from him by his foe, Murtagh. Lore aside, I think it would fit perfectly Skyrim lore, as it was used to slay dragons and it looks badass. Here's pciture of what the book described it as:

and here's the one they used in the movie:

I understand that there is one mod that someone created for it, but i think we could do it more justice and beef it up a little bit. I would attempt to make it but my photoshop skills are sub-par and my creation kit skills are even worse. If someone could make this mod I would be ever so grateful. As for enchants, pick your own :) (as far as I know the only thing that it had in the books was unbreakability through magical enchants). Thanks for your time guys, and i really hope someone would make this

 

EDIT: the mod owner that made zar'roc has abandoned it so i doubt it will ever get a better texture. Also, an idea for the sword is to have it restore magicka/stamina because in the books Eragon could store magic in the pommel. (maybe you could have a spell that causes you to meditate (or rest) and cause the sword to be charged and when you needed it you could use the spell to release magicka/stamina. idk that's just an idea, but it may be too hard to do).

Makes me curious as to which Zar'roc mod you're referring.. =) Reason for this is that i've been part of a mod team that tried to recreate alagaesia, and failed horribly >.>

Having said that, working on Zar'roc has been quite the pain in the arse XD

If i had it my way back then (and i knew how to model), i wouldve made the one as shown in the image next to Brisingr. But alas, the team went with the movie adaptation of the sword. Somehow we never got dragonhead hilt right.

 

Massive props to the guy that succeeds where we have failed :thumbsup:

Honestly i think both the movie and book versions are cool and im impartial to which a modder would choose. I'm using the current only mod with zar'roc, but i think the textures could be higher definition and i think it should have its own enchantments. I'm hoping someone would try to figure out how to do this :)
