Fantasy Leafy Sword - The blade is based on the bronze "Limehouse sword". Fantasy Fishy Sword - a fish-tailed long sword, precursor to the Black Mariah design. Fantasy Viking/Celtic Dagger A dagger or dirk that has a hilt similar to some viking swords. Rendered in 3DS MAX (First draft on the left, final version on the right). Doodles related to above swords Playing with ideas before drawing a more involved sketch. The winged sword that later became Embertine goes way back... Fantasy Sword Doodles Little scrawlings on post-it notes etc. The middle one on the left ended up in a Morrowind mod called Three Shades of Darkness (at a larger size though). More Doodles Mixed bag of old and new sketches, including evolution between the Morrowind "dreamweaver" design and the recent hewing spear. The bowie-like knife was a precursor to the Yatlass design.
