Day Thirty - Freeform: The Final Sword
Nothing too complex. Just a fine-looking sword.
No reference, no plan going into it.
And with this, I've completed my goal of making a sword every day of September. :) Not an official Swordtember I guess, but I'm so happy I did this, and I learned a ton!

Day Twenty-Nine - Freeform: "Elemental Sword"
Penultimate day, and I had time, so I made a very busy sword. I had no plans before today for what I'd do, and I didn't have reference, so I just played through until the sword was done.
I'm pretty satisfied with where my whims took me!

Day Twenty-Eight - Request: Fiery Dragon Sword
The Fiery Dragon Sword from Guild Wars
Had to go with GW1 over 2 because I can't handle that level of detail yet. And the dragon head was already a stretch! Not to mention dipping back into particles (it's been a bit)
Not perfect, but good and fun!

Day Twenty-Seven: Energy Sword
The Energy Sword from Halo: Combat Evolved
Needed another sword that'd be fairly straightforward (busy, busy day), but trying to replicate an older style and play around with the shader was satisfying! We animating again, too!
Swords do come in all shapes and sizes.

Day Twenty-Six: Chronicle Sword
The Chronicle Sword from Dark Cloud
While I planned on doing this one from the start, and hoped to take some time to learn how to properly unwrap and paint the texture... I didn't do that! And it's way off in places.
But MAN was it an interesting (fun) one to make!

Day Twenty-Five - Prompt: "Water-Blade"
This idea was one I already wanted to make before it was requested.
In a recurring theme of things that I did that I make it difficult to notice, the blade-water is animated. I also sculpted the shell-guard!
Needed a relatively quick one for the days ahead!

Day Twenty-Four - Request: The Buster Sword
As if it needs introduction: the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII.
Something I did my best to do justice, but you can hardly see the etching with how I rendered it (the part that easily took me the longest, haha)
But hey! Well worth the effort!

Day Twenty-Three - Theme: Future
But maybe it also went magic?
While I normally like working on blades, I wanted the blade to be simpler this time around, with more focus on the hilt from what I learned working on other swords, and an attempt to make it more mechanical.
Freeform is fun.

I'm proud of parts of this, but alas, I feel that I lost to it.

This was a good lesson in global vs local transformation and rotation, along with asymmetrical components.
Also. Time.

It's amazing how much easier this is getting. :)
Like yeah, this one was "simple" today. But I've gotten a lot better at determining my approach. I barely needed to look at the reference. And the shaders were quick and easy.
Glad I've stuck with it so far!
