My super-cheapo sword

Took me about 30 minutes to an hour to make (didn't keep track of time).

Revel in its cheapness!

Looks like something you'd name after an insect.

It's The Poisoned Blade of Cthulu! Bry'leth I Tah! Sho'manh hitagath! The Overgod Cthulu commands you so spill the blood of a dozen innocents.

Ooh...hate when that happens, sorry.
Nice sword.

the green stuff gives you eye cancer, to be honest.

Gleaming!!!! It needs a better material for the blade!!!!!

Otherwise, the green is an eye-sore. (But, it's your sword.)

Green is a bit odd. Try blood red, it'd be definately better. Try to add some texture to the handle.

The damn thing is longer than a Claymore...nice job though.

Hey, I'd slice it.

Too long. End the sword where the green ends, and it'll be cool.

Shinova, that's fucking awesome!

Have you named it?

Can I use it in a fanfic?

It's one of those "evil, powerful" magical swords. For a name, I've decided to dub it the Shadow Runeblade. If you can think up of a better name, go ahead.

Sure, go ahead.

Ou could have it laced with human fat like Shishio's sword so that it ignites with friction. BWahaha

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2003-10-12 07:04pm

The blade itself is black, and the green parts are supposed to glow whenever the sword's magical properties are being used (soul-shearing, magical spells, etc)

I think somewhere in the future I might redo that sword.

IT LIVES!!!!

Got a gold shader and applied it to some of the handle to give it a spiffier look. The blade's length was sort of adjusted too.

And again, FEAR IT!

Call it Anglachel or Gurthang.

No offense, but to be extremely critical, if this took you more then 5 minutes to make you're wasting your time. I suggest you go find some tutorials.

Two things:

1. I made this over two months ago.

2. I'm pretty sure it didn't take me more than 10 or 15 minutes to make the first version back then. Making the handle color in the newest version I did in...what, one and a half minutes? (most of it spent on looking at the rendered image deciding what to tweak)

EDIT:

In all honesty, if you look at a wireframe of most of those cool-looking models you see in those galleries, they're actually pretty simple. It's their textures that really make them cool-looking.

I dub it Souldrinker.
