Life-sized Sword- Linearity

EDIT- Made a few seemingly subtle changes but I think they’re very important for making the sword look more refined and elegant.
Came up with the idea doodling in class, along with Singularity. It’s a more orthodox, traditional sword following the t shaped crossguard. I was inspired by classical architectural building elements and the tan parchment paper you see in old architectural designs with their various intersecting and parallel lines. The colors were also inspired by the cover art for Vector to the Heavens, which has a cross made out of a red ribbon:

I’d like to think the song goes with the sword.

Thanks, yeah the sword is really long so it was hard to photograph the whole thing without zooming out too much

nah, It’s not quite big enough for that

Needless to say, this is quite impressive.

The use of the trans. Red panels for part of the blade is great, as is the rest of the creation.

Can you swing this thing?

It looks amazing by the way

Yeah you can swing it at a moderate speed but I don’t feel confident enough to really play around with it. It’s either looks or function with these things though the swords I made in elementary school we’re quite sturdy and looked alright.
