Pretty well actually. I have pretty much everything down, but I still need to add the texture and colors. It took slightly longer than anticipated but by the end of tomorrow you'll have your sword of summers!

cool!!! btw for reference in the book it says that the sword is around 3 feet long from bottom to the pointy tip. It's a one handed sword that is as long as a tall person's arm.

Cool, that helps a bit with the proportions. Especially that one-handed part.

So, I still have a few kinks and adjustments to make on the hilt, mostly, but it's proving it'll be time-consuming. I decided I'll let you see it because want it to come off as if I'm not getting anywhere. I hope you like it. All that's left is to flatten the hilt slightly and add the spiral on the handle. I've gotta go to class and I might not get to it tonight so if you want something to present or show off I hope this will do until I can finish it up.

Whoops, should've adjusted the brightness before I sent these. Hope it still looks ok. Talk to you guys later tonight.

Looks good, btw the bottom hilt is supposed to be like a cloud pattern if it helps for reference.

Oh, I kinda figured but I wasn't certain so I just used four orbs and placed near each other at the base of the hilt. I think I can go back in and change it up a bit. Other than that, do you think it'll pass? The picture you gave me wasn't high enough quality to replicate for the blade part so it looks kinda faded and the design is too intricate for me to manually make without taking a good week.

To be honest I looks a bit flat, since the details in the blade are so faded it looks a bit plain.
Sorry if I'm being rude I know your doing this for free and out of the goodness of your heart and it's way more than what I could ever make. It's just that the zelda shield had so many details and looked so cool that I put my expectations a bit high.

No,I actually appreciate you being honest about it! I already know it's pretty flay amd unfortunately I vant change that without a lot of time and work. With the shield, the original image was pretty big and high quality so I could make all the symbols and embellishments. The red symbol in the middle was the only thing i didnt make. And for that I used the picture to paint it on.
The pictures for the sword are too low res for me see how to emboss the blade or even effectively paste on. If had a full week or so to spare I could come up with a similar enough design it but i definitely cant finish in a day with that quality.

Yea. I checked online for some better pictures but the one you sent was basically the best available. The sword actually looks better without the texture and color on it mostly because the picture just isn't that good. I'll fix the hilt and send you a "prototype" picture you can show your friends but I'll have to work on it for a good week or so to make it look as good as my shield does since I'm a little lacking in artistic resources.
Oh! And no worries about coming off rude. I'd much rather get some constructive, even harsh, criticism than simple nice words, lol. I already know I can be a pretty sensitive person at times but I can definitely handle some constructive criticism.

That's fine, I can show them this one as the prototype and you can take all the time you want in making it I know it can't be easy.
And thanks for not taking it a bad way, also thanks for your hard work

No problem! This is actually really fun, barring the part where I rushed to make it somewhat presentable today. Plus, since I'm basically gonna have to sculpt the design of the blade myself, I'll get some good practice.
