full view it...
Darkheart is made of shadow metal, and its blade is made of necrip (a solid yet flexible crystal form of blood infused with the souls of monsters that devour energy). The blade consequently absorbs energy, life and light, and leaves unsealable wounds that slowly turn the flesh to spreading black tar. No one walks away and lives after getting hit by DarkHeart.
The shadow metal is one of 8 very rare elementally infused materials, and its special aspect is that it will always go back to the same shape after being broken, and if part of it is completely separated then it will just grow back. As with any of the elemental materials, its matching seer can manipulate it. with shadow metal, a shadow seer can change its shape into anything they want.

DarkHeart belongs to my OC Retrii [link]
who is the greatest shadow seer, and he takes huge advantage of the swords shadow metal; using it to increase the weight, strength, speed, length and shape of the sword at will. He doesn't even need to hold it in order to fight with it either.

Made in autocad 02. took 1h and 25m to make.
the sword was inspired by dinosaur bones and certain Gothic architecture, so i tried to use sharp organic shapes and Gothic color tones with recognizable bone structures and overall large portions. by doing that darkheart should have a dark and monstrous feeling matching its dark background and owner.

lolol. well to be critical they could be more smooth, or u could work on some proportional issues, but i understand your constraints. and only a few have tried to reproduce my work. i dont mean to be a stickler about the whole credit thing, but i find my crap stolen all the time, all over the internet. and its important to an artist to have recognition to further reputation
