Dragon Nunchuks

sharsein · Nov 2015

I've been working on these dragon nunchuks. My goal was to make the orbs/stone inlays look like red jade. Does anyone have any feedback on that or anything else? Thanks.

The jade kinda looks like its hit with a bright rim light, would be good to see some of the yellow/green bleed through.
I do love a good nunchuk

any other angles?

I'm confused what you mean by the yellow/green, do you mean like at the tips of the horse? I think that only happens in areas that are super thin, which stones would not be.
Toned down the reflective light so there's less glare, and grabbed more angles.

I love the dragon nunchucks idea!

I feel like contrasting a rougher look to the metal and the sheen of the jade would overall make the piece better but that's just me.
