Hello every one I wanted to post my first hand painted model of a pirate sword. All the help I can get to make this look better would be great. This is my first time doing this and I had alot of fun doing it. I now there is much more that I need to do to this but I am happy were I am right now.

tryed to upload a better picture but it took for ever. what do most of you guys use for uploading images?

The sword looks very mushy, the edges on you painting aren't making it look sharp like a sword is supposed to be (pointy, ouch). Everything south of that seems flat too, especially the skull part. Needs more detail, contrast and sense of lighting.
Take a look at Tamara Bakhlycheva's work, there are some swords on there to look at.
