Those are some awesome designs!  My personal favorite is the second, the one with the butterfly, works incredibly well.  Keep up the great work!

I appreciate the feedback might try to incorporate the butterfly aspect to the other design that was pick instead.

Initially i was think to have the butterfly wing as glass but i think this would be impractical for battle so it would either be a ceremonial sword if i go that route or i would have to make the butterfly wing be ''empty'' where you can basically have object pass between the inside of the wing.

Anyways the design i pick is the fifth one and it include a pair of decorative wing they are not as flashy as the other but there are a good compromise.If anything i can always just repurpose the wing in that design and added them in the hilt but i agree that the other design as it own charm so it still open for change.I am still using 3d so there time where i am surpris by how complex certain design decision turn out to be to modelized which is a problem i faced in one of the sword project.Flat object or pretty hard edge object are easy to translate from 2d to 3d but more organic shape with curve and bevel pose a more significative challenge so far.

Since swordtember is over i am trying to move on and reduce the complexity of that project since i also got on other sword to finish which is very complex
