Description:

Dragon slayer weapons made with Blender 2.77a, rendered with the Cycles render engine with the freestyle option added for the black outlines.

The sword (= 2 sharped sides) is about 1m78 long (= 5.84 feet) and the saber (= 1 sharp side) is about 1m88 long (= 6.17 feet).

I intend to use these weapons for my comics project and they will be the weapons of 2 strong brothers.

I also want to keep my project a minimum realistic, on the contrary of Berserk or Final Fantasy. That’s why these weapons are not as big as the ones we can see in these mentioned manga and video games. After all, from what I read, the Dragon Slayer Sword of Guts (the biggest one) in Berserk should be about 250 kg (= 550 pounds). Probably the same weight than the ones in Final Fantasy. How the hell could a normal human seriously can use a sword this heavy? Even Schwarzenegger couldn’t. He maybe could raise it, but not handle it, I’m pretty sure of it.

Though, the sword I modelled here, from what I calculated, should be approximately about 12 kg (= 26 pounds) heavy if it’s forged in stainless steel or even half (6 kg (= 13 pounds) ) if I decide it’s forged in titanium. It can seem not so heavy, but knowing that the handle is at the end of a sword and not in the middle, you have to keep in mind it seems heavier when you have to handle it.

In my project, I think I’ll only have one sword a bit wider and maybe longer and heavier than these 2 ones.
I hope you like these swords design though. Personally, I’m pretty proud of it. ^^
