    The very tempting sword on the table or the dragon statuette with the rune inscripted base? Trap or treasure?


    I finally managed to get a proper sword blade.

    It won't win any awards for art or animation but yuou asked for it...


    Turning the sword into a weapon of elemental power took several attempts and was one of my most ambitious projects.

    It was your idea for me to try and do an animated version so I took it as a challenge. Getting the sword to to reveal it's true purpose took me several attemts to get right.
    (I used the live glow effect for the sword, dragon statuette and I used the feather function for the skulls eyes).

    At least on here we offerconstructive critisism and offer suggestions instead of negative remarks.

    Thought I might as well add a bit of background to the said weapon...

    Being a writer of fantasy fiction it was only right that I put in the proverbial magic sword, the Fireblade, a weapon of elemental power which can only be used by one mortal at a time and is a family heirloom. The current user belongs to an elite squad of DOOM/Conan/Rambo style warriors, all utilising state of the art armour, weapons and fire power but the said weapopn can't be used for evil, by evil or behalf of evil.

    Perhaps you are getting negative remarks because you repeatedly use all capital letters; it is equivalent to shouting in net etiquette.
    Just offering another 'suggestion.'

    I meant negative remarks about Xara artwork as in it's a load of of rubbish. Like I said, I'm not a professional user.

    Some people just like to pass their negative comments onto others, SB. If you do graphic work you need to have a thick skin, sort through the comments and use the ones that help you improve, ignore the negative babble and just enjoy it.
