| looks really good. The only thing I find strange is how the stone brick thing is at an angle to the right, just kinda looks off to me. Also, I think you should have more of the sword sticking out so you can take up more of that space, and look better too. |

yeah, very nice agree with Pownatized, the sword should stick out more... maybe thinner aswell... but thats just my opinion.... |

Looks good, but...yes, the sword being thinner and sticking out would look better from a composition standpoint. The greens of the tree can be spread out a lot too. More random rather than a 'ball'.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to display the stone brick from exact side view. I think you should give it a more perspectived angle. I hope this makes sense >.< The trunk is lovely =) |

Fil----You mean more 3-d Iso-metric ish. instead of from a flat side of it?
And yeah i wanted the sword to be the main focus but i actually think the tree stands out more then the sword does now. I cant decided if i want to shade it, or just AA it and be done. I sord of like the simplicity of it right now. |

The handle is a mere tit of a hilt. Why does everyone make short swords with stumpy blades ant nothing to hold on to?
here is an average sword.

Eh, first off i submitted this and it got rejected.
outlaw- i dont really agree with what you're saying, many swords have different hilt lengths alot come from weither its a two hand or a one hand. Like http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:27PTyv_taWOd9M:www.kingarthursgreathalls.com/Products%2520Pictures/Sword%25202.JPG - That . Maybe i just dont know what im talking about although id like to think i do. =] |
