Mitsuko Souma

my crapy quick lil concept scetch

scetch of the weapon, sorry I dont have a scanner so these came out pretty bad

about 30 minutes or so working on the weapon, I actually think I like it as is, and am starting on the girl now.
feel free to rip me to pieces Ive been lazy for the last year. This Is the first project in a while and I would like to do it right

You have a ton of wasted polys in this thing. The cloth wraps (i'm guessing thats what it is) could have been textured in, or at the very most normal mapped. The roundness of the handle itself and the bit at the end could use for a few less sides on them. Use your saved polys to curve your blade a bit more, and add a sharp edge.

aight hows this?

Slum

Much better. Although now, hehe, I'd say you could probably go with ditching a few of those segments in the blade.

Right now, it appears the blade is a thick block, and not very sharp as a blade, Try pulling back one of the edges and create a sharp blade-type edge, a bit like this image here http://chineseswords.freewebspace.com/images/a2.jpg

I would make the handle longer , and slightly curved.

Going form a kama to a huge great scythe is certainly a fair exageration.

A curve in the handle would allow for a smoother more powerful swing and would probably look nicer too. While we're on technicalities, I think to be practical the blade is a bit on the overly hooked side. Then again she's probably not going to be doing much grass cutting.
