I've liked Final Fantasy VII since I was a kid and now I'm in college in a 3D modeling class. Pretty badass, so I first thought to work on some weapons and I've always loved swords and this is probably the one I remember liking alot as a kid.

So here's my first try:

Yeah this pretty much reminds you of an ice cream bar with gumdrops...


After some work, this is what I will say is my real first draft.

The materia still looks like delicious gumballs but they always did anyway.


I like the way it came out and I'll continue to work on it, maybe even make the FFVII movie version of the buster sword. If you want to see all the stages this sword went through, check out my blog here.

I'd like to hear some contructive crits on this so let me know.

I do a drawing blog called Kigen I Draw Stuff and I'm always working on new stuff. Check me out, some people actually call me funny but they could just be mentally insane.

interesting!
except these swords really look like a child's toy rather than weapons of destruction. D:

i think the handle and guard could use a bit of work. personally, i find the crosshatch texture on the first one looks out of place and the .. hand held part was cut off very sharply, which makes it look not 3-D. >.>; i think it should be more rounded, or have some shadows or sooomething. i really don't know.

the second i like a lot more. the hilt looks a lot better, too. although, that the dark yellow square on the blade doesn't look centered, and it's just very.. sharp. and square. D:

never played FFVII, so i don't really know, but if these are the exact swords from the game, then i personally think you should step away from that. o= create some swords of your own, try make them complex and beautiful, with interesting design, and maybe carvings and jewels, and whatever else. xD
i've heard 3-D design is intense, so my suggestion might not be very useful to you if you are just trying things out for now. xD

overall, a really good job. : D

Thanks for the crit, you definitely touched upon some of the stuff I myself had thought about when looking at the sword. if you check my blog, you can see all the different types of ways this sword looked before I ended up at the end. I get what you mean about I should step away from doing swords from games and that what I'm doing already, just wanted to do this project real quick as a challenge and homage to the game.
