Oooh, good start. I look forward to seeing the finished product.

[Elegrand]

Looks good, real longsword-like.

[Quwaar]

looks pretty neat I like it, cant wait to see more

[Icefalcon]

Simple, but thats good if you want it in-game  Once its done and has some awesome textures on it, submit it to LLW, maybe it will be used in-game

[FredrikH]

did some work on the blade yesterday it probobly still need more work.
 im not to certain on what to do with the handle tough

[Typies]

That looks great i love it. PLz make more after you\'ve finnished that one.

[Xelex]

I think you should have like rune letters imprinted along the handle.

[FredrikH]

thanks for the idea but i think i like the runes to go on the blade instead as for the hilt.
i will do some patterns there after i get back from school.

ornate swords carved with runes are kinda viking\'ish, and that\'s how I like \'em Good work

[Kithplana]

Wow, nice work. Watching this thread for more

[Kintall]

I like the runes, and the sword in general, kinda makes the grip seem a little \"left out\" still very nice though... shiny

Actually runes were created by ancient germanic people during the 3rd-13th century. It was sometimes beleived to have magic powers. It was, however, later introduced to the vikings betwenn the 8th and the 11th century. The ancient germans had attached runes to their weapons of combats a couple centurys before that. So next time you thing of a sword with runes think...Germany.


sorry i just thing some people deserve credit for cool ideas. (:

For the hilt, you could browse the web for free leather textures if you want...

[Cirque]

I also think a leather handle would look impressive. Maybe you could also add something to the circle on the bottom of the handle to. Like a precious stone set into it.
