EXTRA THICK

Thanks for the feedback! It is meant to be oversized, but I agree it's too much currently.

I like where its headed, it goes really great with the wings so far. I think mainly the handle looks too bulky/cramped, is there any way to make it look more streamlined? Sleek, but still presents the weight of a one handed broadsword?

That's definitely the direction I want to head with it. It is meant to be big, and I definitely want to keep that feeling. I'll be messing with its overall thickness and proportions before the deadline.

I really love what you're doing with this, the weapon is gorgeous, but the proportions are just so strange to me. My suggestions would be to scale down the entire weapon just a little, even the handle looks too big in the pictures. Then reduce the width of the blade a bit, maybe shift the position of the crossguard up a bit towards the blade and change the angle of the crossguard to be more horizontal. Then reduce the thickness of the handle some and make it a little bit longer. Make it look something like a hand-and-a-half sword. As it stands the sword wouldn't even be usable because you couldn't move your wrist at all with how the crossguard comes down towards the hand so much on both sides. Keep up the amazing work!

No such thing as too thick in warframe

The size is nice but the ratios are off. The blade is too thin to make the width make sense from a weight stand point, which makes it seem like a large razorblade in a not cool looking way. The handle is much too short and could honestly be brought all the way out to the hand and a half length and give the tenno a look of lifting a sword meant for 2 hands with one hand though any additional length would help it look less cramped. Speaking of cramped the positioning of the guard limits the grip into what looks like a stabbing focus instead of what is clearly supposed to be slashing sword. It's not just that the guard is so narrow it blocks a 90% angle grip, its that the handle is rounded at the bottum to support the idea which is conflicting. It literally looks like you shrunk a heavy blade and shrunk the handle so it can be considered 1 handed, which i feel is a mistake.

Looks fantastic after the last update you made. Great work!

OMG the blade is so sexy right now

Looks absolutely fantastic after your last set of changes.
