RE: sword WIP critique/paintover - Tyrus - 06-16-2013

Look at how most swords look, you'll see a common theme among them that the ones you drew have and don't have.

As sword design goes these are quite cool, due to looking simple and very practical for what a sword is supposed to do (being swung). But if you want to refine their design a bit...

The blade edges are uneven/too small. Rather, they're not as balanced, leading to most of the sword's body taking up the bulk (this is good for knives due to being short and tiny, but not swords). If you make the blade's edge bigger on each sword they'll look much more sword-like.
