Ways to make this Textured Dagger look better?

Help and Feedback Building Support
#1

So I recently made this Dagger its from WOW (World of Warcraft) And I thought it was an amazing looking weapon. So i decided to recreate it in Blender 2.8 using my amazing Modelling skills, BUT when it comes to finalizing the model I usually find it pretty easy to texture it, add color and add detail to it. Shading also. This one seem difficult…It does have some things missing like sharper edges but i just needed a basic foundation so i can continue to make it look better.

Any way i could make this look as good or even better than the original?

Right now it looks awful. :joy: In hopes that I can make it better by using Nodes or anything.

This is just a 2D sprite. You never stated if you were trying to make it like this. I would suggest making it 3D. I know my opinion is boring but if you create a 3D version of it, it will look better :slight_smile:

It is 3D, I just had a bad camera angle.

That looks awesome!
Nothing really to improve on, looks almost identical.
