Hey guys! This is another iteraction so I created another topic in order to make ir clearer. I hope you don't mind.
This is the old version in case anyone wants to check it.
So, this is the new concept:

In my opinion the major problem with the old version was the guard. It was bulky and maybe to simplistic in comparision to the blade, that was already full of details. Then I tried to make the new to look a bit more skinny ant lighter. The handle stills simple, I just made de nails material to match the bronze parts, and added those "bracers" (?) as a kind of decoration. The pommel kind of conventional, but I think it work fine with the rest of the weapon. The blade material stil the same, I just tweaked some values in the waves and dropped out the bluish hue on the base color.
And here some details of the blade texture...

I quite liked the result, but if someone wants to share some thoughts, Istill want to know what you would have done different.
See ya! o/
