Artist's Comments

Something a bit different. I made this sword and sheath for *SeishinKibou and her Silmeria costume. I didn't do the painting or the leather straps, *SeishinKibou did that.

This took me quite a few weekends of work as I am pretty slow and there was a lot of detail. It isn't anything super special but I am still happy with it :)

Materials used include pine, MDF, craft foam and I did reinforce the tip with some fibre glass resin.

There is a little bit of a teaser of *SeishinKibou's costume and the photoshoot we did on the weekend but you will just have to wait for her to put them up =P

Critiques


:iconchioky:
There is somthing incredibly simple about this sword, it is hard to discribe the purity of the clean cut craftsmanship. When people think of a "great" sword people imagine the sword being overly detailed and having a perfect form. Yet that view is too single minded I consider this sword a "great" one.

The form of the sword yet simple, is very articulate in its design, more so then what you first see. The sword is so well crafted that I can see very little flaw in the work of the details and the form of the handle. Heck even the sheath is cleanly made as well! from far away this could look like a real sword

This sword might not be overly detailed, however the sheet craftsmanship of this sword is extremely clean and well proportioned. The sword has a very high level of quality of structure essentially, its like all the details and form of the swords balance well together for a splendid sword!

I did it the hard way and did two pieces of wood, then used a router to clean out the middle, filed and sanded and had the sword to make sure it would fit then glued the two pieces together before cleaning it up. ^^;

As said the hard way :XD:
