Okay,  well i have a new sword anyway.

i think the *black* is too much to grey, and it would have been nicer if there would have been no outline at all, which also had made it possible for you to use the black for the shading...

Well while experimenting with this week's challenge palette, I found out that if I even slightly darken the yellow or brighten the red they cease to be yellow and red, so I guess some elbow room should be granted to ppl who participate.
I agree that black is black, tho, and this is gray.

Thanks for the Crits,  ill get to work with the 20 mins i have spare atm.

=D

Yellow seems fine to me, the "black" is inarguably a grey, if I were to use anything other than pure black, I wouldn't stray further than a very dark grey, if that's even acceptable.  The "red" is brown at the moment, and undoubtedly should be a more obvious red.

the yellow is fine.  but that red is more brown.  when you have an outline, it needs to be darker than the other colors, so i would make it damn near black...  right now, tbh, it looks horrible with the grey, way too much contrast

Okay,   so,   a bit mor red-sh shade,    a darker black,    but i would like to ask,  is the yellow shade okay to stay?

agreed.  you are getting dangerously close to being on the admin watch list...  and everyone else who has been on that list is no longer here.  if you cant make useful comments, ever, then you won't be welcome here.  you have a ways to go before you can rip apart people like you do.

Christopher is the only thing you do criticize people? There is a difference between critiquing and finding faults in everything. Also any criticism in the future should probobly be followed by a way to fix the problem.

Mmmmm... Tis a knife.
So says the reference picture (URL)

it is if he said it was, like he did in the forum

It dosn't need to be a challenge entry,it can be just a roman sword.If it isnt then more contrast and darker outline!

Uh, You haven't read the weekly hallange rules- 3 colors-yeach,but they should be: red,yellow and black

What are they considering yellow, red, black?  This is a cool piece but I think if you want to be safe and make sure you are going to be counted in the challenge you make the colors a little closer to red, yellow, and black.. Good luck man, nice work.
