Ineffable Wingbolt Necris Omega Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I reworked my original rendition of the Alien Blade from everyone's favorite* series. Take a look and let me know which design works better. *Unless you prefer Geneforge, to which I say that I do not share but respect your opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Bender89 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The second one, but the first maybe could be un activated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Zaego Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I like the second one better, too. It feels a bit less "messy", if that makes sense. Like the blade and the metalwork looks more smooth and less demonic than in the first rendition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Painted Lady Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I really like the second one a lot. The color you picked for the gemstone is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt TriRodent Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 2nd one looks incredible. 1st one looks good but the 2nd just screams 'I'm magical, take me with you'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 They both look really good. I like the gem in the blade of the 2nd for basically what TriRodent said, but I prefer the blade design of the first one as the first one seems more like a realistic sword (I know this is a fantasy, but . . .), so I would say the first one with the gem added.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I agree with Edgwyn. The first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I was also with Edgwyn, but then on closer inspection I found the first one looking like a short wavy blade in front and a longer one behind, perfectly aligned with the view perspective so at a glance it looks like a single blade. Now I can't unsee it as a weird double sword and prefer the second one. —Alorael, who actually thinks he likes the wavy blade more then the spiraling one. But only one wave or his brain hurts.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The first one reminds me more of a piece of driftwood with a handle than a sword. Too pale and texturey. The second one is awesome though. I've always loved the Alien Blade and I'm pleased to see a really nice rendering of it. I've never actually acquired it or seen its lore in the main games, but it's available in BoE and I liked it. In the original BladBase.exs it didn't have the poison dripping ability accidentally, but I still liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
