Hmmmm I guess you learn something every day haha. Good observation though @greyhart

The Quillon (cross guard) is backward. Its function is to catch the opponent’s blade if it slides down, and keep it from cutting your hand. It should be curved toward the blade, not the hilt, so your opponent’s blade doesn’t slide out, and cut your arm.

That sounds like a good plan. Can’t wait to see how it looks. Definitely will take tweaking with the lighting but I think you can get it right and it will look good. For images I usually import them into photoshop and then save them for the web and it makes them very small. 100kb or less usually

Yeah lighting is going to be tough. Goijg to incorperate some neon lights with natural hdri light and hope something good comes out of it. The error i got was the file being too big (10MB) so with gyazo i just took a pic of it and linked it, it also downscales the size to like 1/10th original. Wondering how i can keep my 1080p renders from reaching 10mb+

Dude that is coming along amazing! You even got the ketchup and mustard bottle and the little napkin thing lol. Okay what I think will really give life to it now is the lighting. If you work on and get the right lighting….it’s REALLY going to come together and convey the feeling of this awesome render. Keep it up!
