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  Silmeria's Sword - Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria Model/Costume *SeishinKibou Sword/Sheath (minus painting) =Floatyman Photography =Floatyman Comments
 YOU made that?! I love that sword! Excellent, stunning work!
 So if you have these skills... you must teach me your ways! xD (or, alternatively, I may 'borrow' your skills in the future  )-- Art and Geek wear: [link] lol yes I did make that
 HAHA well if you want to learn or want something I may be able to help just give me a lot of time  -- "I’m the victim of an ugly rumour at work." "Are you saying that the rumour is ugly or that the rumour is that you’re ugly?" "I’m saying the rumour itself is ugly." "Well, then I have more bad news for you!"  How do you make a Sheath? D: Mine never turn out right.
-- Idiocy strikes again... 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 -- "I’m the victim of an ugly rumour at work." "Are you saying that the rumour is ugly or that the rumour is that you’re ugly?" "I’m saying the rumour itself is ugly." "Well, then I have more bad news for you!"  nice work man sword looks epic
 You're so very epic Bryan!!! It's so pretty & detailed Amazing work!
 -- *pervy face*  I was trying to avoid that xD Oh well, looks super awesome!
-- Idiocy strikes again...  Nice work, it looks great!
 Beautiful details on the sword *A* Totally wish I could make that~! Srzly awesome work man! ^____^
 I like this sword, I might just feature it O.O
-- The goals I hope to achieve on DeviantART:  "Raise the Awareness of Swordmaking as an Art Form" "To Teach Everybody Swordmaking who wants to learn" |

Critiques
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!
