Here are two variations of a sword I Designed for Arvamond.
The “normal” looking one is called the pure sword and the melted looking one is called the slate sword.
A look at the sword hilt to show the etching detail.
The hilt of the slate sword. I tried to make the melted parts look like they were moving in a specific direction. The slate sword is also missing the red gems that are on the pure sword.
The models in wireframe mode to show topology.
