what markers are you using for this?

I hope you don't mind a few suggestions. I'd like to address your orc blade. The bottom of your handle, the hilt part, should be a bit rounded or curved, not flat. Also, the outter edge of the hook at the top of the blade looks like it should be closer to a 90 degree angle. The tiny spike at the bottom of the blade seems to be curved too much, as if a circle had been stamped out of it. It might look better if it were more of an oval and less circular.

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 1:07 am

Looks pretty sweet dude, only think I would suddgest is a little more detail on the handle, but im loving the texture on the handle.

cooldude5990 · Post by **cooldude5990** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 2:32 am

thx guys and jks i just started his daggers.
and sonictag im trying to fix up the handle to make it more clear and not as blurry.

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 6:25 am

That is what changes I would make to it, just a suggestion.

Basically I chromed the blade and added some dark detail, and also darkened the handle and added some shading detail. But it does go off the original concept

cooldude5990 · Post by **cooldude5990** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 6:49 am

ill darken the handle but im gonna leave the blade cuase im going to put blood on it.

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 6:52 am

Good luck on the blood, it isnt easy to get blood looking good but when you apply the blood, make it so you can still see some of the sword colour so the blood is quite pale in places.

do you like this blood
(note this will be one of few renders not posted in the first post)
