Elvish Inspired Sword

Hello everyone!

This is a sword that I have been working on for roughly 3 months on and off, and it has been quite the adventure and learning experience.

I started this project near the beginning of the year, from the beginning I knew I wanted it to have that feeling of fantasy, kind of that elvish feel. And so I decided to make a blade that was mostly hollow and kind of organic in shape. I also knew from the very beginning that I wanted glowing rune engravings on the blade.

My focus on this sword was to create something from my imagination, without focusing on poly count, etc. which does mean this sword is 76k polygons. The high poly count is caused by the wires on the sword. If I wanted to make this asset game ready I would make the wires low poly and bake the high poly wires.

I decided to call this sword done so that I could move on to new and bigger projects. I hope you all like this sword. I personally love it, but I might be biased.

In total I have probably spent 3 days in total working on this, but over the span of a couple months due to issues with my pc and substance painter.
