About this image
A sneak peek of a mod I'm working on. This here is the Fenrir Shortsword - there is also a dagger, longsword and greatsword. Stats are a bit below Daedric, but they're lighter.
The model is pretty much done, and all the variants are working in-game. I just need to put them somewhere in the world and make it possible to convert between the different types. I'm thinking of having a base "Fenrir Blade Pieces" misc item that you can convert to and from with.

The crossed straps both on the handle and scabbard are just in the texture? They look a tad flat. I'd make them on the model and give them some decent volume to make the silhouette more interesting.
In the end the polycount doesn't increase that much and if it looks better then its worth it.
The concept art for the other fenrir weapons is awesome, love the axes (i wouldn't tilt it downwards, makes it more unique). Kind of missing some metallic engraved detail in the ends of the bow though.
I haven't started on the axe yet, but I'll see how it looks at both angles. Personally I'd prefer it titled down a bit as it would resemble historical axes more, but it's probably not that big of a deal. We'll see.
Keep in mind that the mod will probably be delayed a while if I make the other stuff.

Otherwise a very nice blade, one I look forward to trying out on various characters.
I'm still tweaking the colours and stuff as I'm not completely happy with those as of now (mostly the leather) and I need some suggestions. Originally, the wraps around the grip and the scabbard were a light blue-ish colour, but I removed those as I thought they looked Stormcloak (I'd prefer these weapons had no connection to any faction).
I have darkened the leather, however this has inadvertently increased the saturation so I need to tweak that some more. The wraps will probably be lighter than the other leather, as I think it would stand out more. Also, I've made an optional black leather texture which I will include on the mod page.
One more thing: can somebody take some screenshots for me? I can take decent ones but I'm no screenarcher, and my ENB isn't particularly suited to close-ups and detail. If you're interested, I will send you the mod early (once it's done, of course) and I can get some feedback and use the screenshots on the mod page.
