Another version of the flamberge...

The sword with the studed handle? The most recent? Thank you

Here's the first rendering done based on your sword...

Sweet renderings. I like the first rendering of the flamberge, and the rendering right above this post. Excellent work on all parts you guys.

Can you thank the renderer! Also it sounds like theres a second? Woohoo!

Mostly I'm hoping John tries his hand at a render. So there *might* be a second...

Glad you like it.

Wow, yay! If he does [perfectionist] Make sure the handle is round, and the middle bit is inset not outset like the one above.[/perfectionist]

Barbed spear. Inspired by an image from a reference of primitive peoples.

I am going to be the first, and probably only, voice of dissent here. Unto itself the rendering is pretty good, but I prefer the original drawing's intent.

The original's hilt seems rounded with the studs added for additional frictional support, while the area where a tang would be has the illusion that steel grows from the wood that the hilt is wrapped in.

Without sounding too facetious and no insult meant to the skilled renderer, I think the rendered image looks an awful lot like french steak knives.

I was trying to be kind, but you make a point.

The person that rendered the sketch is, like myself, a volunteer. At some point I may take up doing renders myself. But at the moment I do not have the funds to buy a good piece of software nor the time to learn to use it. Until then the aid you receive... is the aid you receive.

I apologize for being harsh. I just awoke from a nightmare.
