it looks like you have two blunt beveled edges, making a total of 4 edges, rather than two curved sides and a pointy tip. the problem is tied to the shape of the blade.
cure, thanks for your review. Specifically, can you tell me what I did wrong on the shading on the tip so I can do better next time?
Well, sorry, this was my first peice, we can't all be masters in one day.
I agree, will wait for the mod who made the decision to review.
critiques are best obtained in the WIP forum. right now the shading on the tip makes no sense, and the rectangle-with-triangle-on-the-end blade shape is usually a poort choice. the hand guard should probably be thicker, and the hilt should be longer and thinner, keep in mind someone has to hold this, such a large grip would be tough to hold. the blade should probably be longer as well. depicting the shiny metallic surface of the blade is important in making an interesting-looking sword as well.
I assume you aren't working from references. always work from references.
Ok. It is rather basic. On the tip I had the light scource coming from the top right if it makes any differnce in judging this peice. Really, I'm just trying to get sprites so I can have more options in game making but I'm not an artist at all, I guess that shows here.
