Thanks everyone! The sword did come out pretty nice. Now I need to paint the other side as good as this.

I\'ll try to work on it as much as possible so I can finish it soon, but you never know. I have lots of things in the works.

That colour scheme looks good, Anja, and it seems you managed to photograph it perfectly. Unless, of course, the little critter looks completely different in real life. lol May I ask if you\'re planning to visit GD this year? :]
@Klute
Seems interesting! I\'m excited about the final result. That face looks promising, but it could use just a little bit more highlighting. Not much, but a little to give the face more expression. The eyes are excellent, though.
