Artist's Comments

The final version of the sheath, showing both sides and the wrapping on the saya. Thanks for all the comments on the preview, it gave me a lot of confidence to continue. I hope it was what you were expecting the finish product to look like. Please feel free to let me know what you think!I'm almost done with the whole thing!

Man, you are a god at this! The designs all are like in unity, and the ribbon adds a nice touch. How'd you make the ribbon go that way? And what types of paint did you use, besides spraypaint?

How did you paint the extra fine details on it? What size paintbrush did you use? 2 mm?

I think you ought to paint it different shades of blue. To give it that peaceful feel to it. That's only my two cents.

I actually used a stylus for the real small details. A toothpick or something like that works well. I'll give the shades a shot, and see what it looks like. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! I'm really glad you think the designs match up, I was actually trying to take the mountains from the tsuba and kind of "zoom in" you know? Like really trying to expand on those formations, and what might they reveal. As for the paint, I didn't use any spray paint. I just used acrylic paints. Thanks again for the compliments!

Woah, only acrylic paint? That's pretty cool. Don't worry, the designs are wonderful.

so you managed to improve it, awesome 0_o hmm, the shades would have been an awesome add 8D like a light blue near the ribbon would have given the feeling of sky being pure and light and at the foot of the mountain near the tsuba a darker shade of blue would signify the burdens and pain on earth :D that's just my opinion :)

Sugoi! Great work. I agree with murselius that shading would have enhanced it a bit more, but it's pretty damn gorgeous as it is. Korekaramo ganbatte kudasai, sensei.

That is such a very deep way of looking at it, it makes me want to go back and change it! I always try to have every aspect have meaning with these, so critique like that is amazing to have. Thanks so much for the help and compliments!
