im working on replacing chillrend at the moment, i love the glass swords, but chillrend does not stand out enough, so heres my rough concept for replacing the weapon.

tell me what you think of it, it looks a little too high poly, maybe a bit to rough as well.

heres a better image

the idea behind chillrends more practical model is that its i want to give each item a back story, and in this case this weapon is very thieves guild friendly, looks like something you wanna snag and keep for yourself and let no-one else see it unless its the last thing they see.

you can kinda see what im going for here, a blood groove, very angular and sharp, something easily concealed but has a decent reach. and very valuable and unique. perfect thieves trophy.

Looks gorgeous. Any chance of a higher resolution shot though, I can't make out the fine details.
Anyway, keep up the great work :]

thanks, and sure ill upload some better pics later, im at school right now though.
but there are no fine details right now anyway, what you saw were just blank materials to indicate color.

Ah no worries then, my eyes aren't what they used to be. The trouble with sitting in front of a computer 8+ hours a day.
Thanks for your effort, look forward to what you come up with!

updated the thread for you, a much clearer image. can you see the blood groove?

Amazing! It seriously looks really, really good, especially at full 1920x1040 resolution.
Thank you
