MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! *fangirly squee*
It looks absolutelyflippingawesome! 8D
This is so much cooler than anything my mind could imagine. Thank you so much for this amazing oekaki, Shadow_paws! =D
I love the way you drew the grip like real blackwood, and... wow... the metal is so perfect and shiny. I am amazed by your work. As usual. ^^
The white-on-black slashes in the air are perfect - I just love everything about them.

And I really like how you combined the two top grooves of the blade into one; it has a much slicker look than the slightly-clunky original pic. :3
Meep! Thanks again! 8D
And thanks for just going ahead with the project - life was/is a little too busy for me to arrange a screenshare. =P
Sorry I wasn't able to see such a master artist at work.
