Wow, that is awesome, I really like that style of blade!, I am working on a similar shaped blade in Illustrator, just haven\'t had time to finish. Too much study and AA!

it looks really cool. maybe you could widen the handle and guard a bit though.  they look a  bit flimsy.   oh and how  many polyygons ?
oh you have ok. nice work.  now you need to lengthen the handle a slight bit becuase it now seems a bit too small and  pushed in.   little bit of legthening and that would be one hell of a first try.

the poly count on it is 4.....
the blade
the hillt
the handel
the pummel

i\'ll make the handel a bit longer and  i might try and make the blade look like damaskin steel for the people that don\'t know what that is.... its high carbon steel that looks like it has a wood grain in it the colors are a steel grey blue with a black grain...

oh and darkw00t its not a gem at the bottom it is a gold pummel the same matireal as the hillt
