What I like about your swords is the whimsical shapes they appear to come in. lol One thing I would like to see you accomodate is a realism view. Most of your swords have subtle things about them that make them almost impossible to have in a 3-dimensional context. (or they would be small, thin, or cumbersome) The definitely look good 2 dimensionally, but I would recommend you try that.

Very cool!
Alright, the first one. I think it would have a much better flow if you stuck with one design overall. What I mean by this is you have many different design elements going up the back, you have this wave design. That's a good design to carry throughout. Or you have this key-like design at the bottom of the blade side. Both are good designs, but it's a little jumbled. I think if you chose one or two of your previous elements, kept the overall shape, and redrew it, it would be much better. The hilt and handle look very good.
The second one has a much better flow, I think it's working a lot more compared to the first one. You do have a triple design element going on in this one as well, but it might be easier to "fix". I'd say keep either the small triangular designs, or the arrow looking designs, and transfer them over the sword in various areas. Now I see you have the small ones at the top above the bigger ones, I just think this sword might benefit from only one design. I do think the hilt and handle are working on this one quite well.
I think the third one is great. It's a bit hard to tell if the white parts are like paint, or if they are missing parts of the metal, but I like them. This sword seems to have more of a thought-flow, like this one you knew exactly what you wanted. The wave bit at the bottom looks nice, and it looks great how it transitions from small to big at the top. The jags into the back actually work quite well with the rest. However, I think the handle and hilt aren't working well with it. That handle/ hilt might work better with the last sword instead.
The last one is very interesting. It reminds me of elven blades from LOTR. It has that feel to me. Plus, this is the most elegant one of the four. It has a great reversal of arcs, which gives a great sense of under design. This is the most structured of them. The handle does work well with this sword, very simple but gets your eye to move down. I said that the 3rd swords handle would work better with this sword in the sense of the flower-like design popping off the front, to juxtapose the design off the back of the 4th.
Of course this all just my opinion, take it for what it's worth to you. this makes me want to finsih my own designs.

Well, I was feeling kind of off when I drew the first one;I just kept on adding stuff! Mainly I posted it because I like the why the hilt turned out. The second, now that I look at it, could do without the check mark shapes on the upper part of the blade. I was trying for some think different but it doesn't quiet work, does it? the third, well, I sorta blanked when I got to the hilt.......not much else to say. Thanks for the complements on the fourth on. It's funny how the one you spend the least time on can look better than the ones you spend a lot of time on.
