@theluthier No need to apologies, there are a lot submissions to be graded and I understand that it takes time!
Concerning your notes:
- The handle will have a red leather band wrapped around it, but I decided to paint it instead of modelling it. Painting is way easier for me, but in hindsight it wasn´t a good choice I made, because I wanted to improve my modelling. So deciding to paint it was kind of a lazy way x_x
- You´re right. When I finished the blade I thought something didn´t fit quite well, but I couldn´t figure out what exactly. I will try to add a more organic feel to the blade before texturing it!
Thank you for the feedback!
