Thanks for the feedback all,
@Lmo , I did consider using another hand on the pommel in a fist, but I decided in the end it was too much. I like your idea of the hands shaking on the scabard, but I can’t really see any way of it practically working. I also like the idea from the Chronicles of Riddick ( I havn’t actually seen it myself, I feel now I should) but I also don’t want the imagary to be overwhelming, so I don’t know, I’ll have to see if it works.
@Robbie_roy thanks for the feedback, and I love the mace! very iconic and stylized.
So thanks, I’m really pleased at how positive the things you’ve said have been, I really appreciate it.
