Sketchbook: Venla

Venla

I would love feed back on this high poly sculpt before I start texturing this thing and making a low poly out of it. I do admit however I am absolutely lost on what the poly count should be. I do admit I am using this piece to teach myself Marmoset 2 Albedo maps.

And oh right... heres the ref I'm following. Do note I did make some changes like the fact the eagle is a solid object without the see through bits.

Fixed the handle so its the appropiate length and redid the eagle emblem so its less muddy... hopefully. Its done unless I end up doing damage.

Here is the clean version thats finalized for the sword. It took a bunch of retries but hey I think I nailed it... well I think I do.

For some odd reason... the pic didn't post.

Now here is the other half of what I've worked on today. It was alot of guess work. I still don't know its right for realism... so if someone could give input on it I'd be very grateful.
