The first picture I thought looked like crap :) (no offense) :)

But then as you detailed the blade, it looked amazing.
Can\'t wait \'til you detail the rest of it.

After a google search I\'ve determined that the most recently modified portion of the sword is call the \"cross\".
That said, I like the version with the steel cross as the bone cross version doesn\'t match the blade.  Still, I can\'t wait for the handle and pommel to be detailed.  Looking great so far.  What a time consuming process.

actually it is called a cross-guard.
my brother said that the shape looked almost like a bone so i coun\'t ressist making it like that :) . but i will go with steel for the final.
did some experimenting with the pommel

i will probobly do the leather after i have gotten something to eat.

Excellent work, keep it up. May try to replace that yellow cross with something like a couple of gems that form a cross together? Or just one plain gem.

now its only the pommel and the cross-guard left :)
but i can\'t make up my mind if those nails that are holding the leather in place should be there or not

firstly, I love what youve done with the sword and as far as the nails go: I say keeep the nails, in fact make them about 3-4 times bigger, itl give the grip some much needed detail and balance the image up nicely. or you know it could just be me...
