I say all that to say that in the land of artistic creation, gold can definitely rust and you’re right to have enjoyed painting it 🙂

Thank you, it was quite motivational reading this actually haha

Indeed, it looks quick and dirty, but i decided to remodel the lower handler and redo UV/Texturing all over again, i might re-use the old texture for the main blade, its going to require some precise image editing but if its too much to do it might just be easier to re-texture paint again
WIP

I personally think it looks way better than my old handle!
At the pace i’m going, i think it will finish today and i can move on to shading tomorrow!
