Yea depending on how this first one comes out more people might decide to help. Well see what happens

Aww disappointing…
…I thought he/she was going to request for Japanese Demons, called Yukai, but he/she's just requesting a sword…

lol, i thought it was a model request when i saw it to lol, ill admit i was disappointed

Heh sorry for dissapointing you. By the way, HE, and i speak japanese, its where i got the name Yukai.

kk. I spent the last few hours working on it while my bro was having his turn at this comp. So far I've managed to make the blade, which was tricky for me but it turned out great. As far as the hilt goes, I'm a little confused on what it looks like? >< The blade is for now "skinned" with the actual image of it so it's kinda sloppy

Might take a little smoothing out but I think it looks cool already :)

Looks good. But like you said, it does look sloppy right now with the current texture.;) And maybe just play around with some smoothing groups, see if they could help.

Looking good so far! As for the hilt you really dont have to make anything fancy, though if you could do whats in the original picture that would be great. Just make sure it doesnt look like a texture-less shiny gray blob, heh.

I like it, looking forward to testing it out and messin around

Well, the prob is.. I don't know what the heck the hilt is? I can see the grip part fine but I don't understand what the the other parts are on it. I could try using the smaller swords hilt for the one I'm making tho. Up to u :P

Yeah actually, that would be good, if you can do that it would be great.
