Decided out of boredom today to quickly model and texture a HD version of the linked sword and got inspired to add the Venomshank and Firebrand. All modeled and textured by me of course.
One of the notable features this one has is its guard/hilt top. It sports a steel blue appearance, curved sides and four wind engravings on it, two in the front and two in the back.
The Linked Sword, Venomshank and Firebrand all look great, but I think you could change the Illumina and Darkheart to better resemble their original forms. For the illumina, it may not be necessary but I think that adding a highlight of light blue (like its SFOTH form) would give it some authenticity.
On the other hand, I think the Darkheart should be completely reworked since it’s far too bright and doesn’t rememble its original form at all; to improve it, I’d suggest you remove most of the purple outlining and keep the colour primarily black. Maybe add a glowing highlight or two on the hilt, but keep it subtle.
Thanks for the feedback, as for the DarkHeart and Illumina like I stated I wanted to redesign them rather than attempt to make a remake. I’ll update my post to make this more clear.
I’ll probably add then again using the linked sword as a base and make it more authentic along with the rest of the swords.
Once I make the version that’s more based off the original one I’ll keep this in mind, I still plan on adding a emblem and I like that idea. I’ll have to try and find a semi-realistic heart clip-art somewhere.
