The Blade is Sharper and more Refined then it's predecessor was..
The enrich coating of the black really did match well with the violet/blue but there are some parts that looks abit off...
The first i noticed would be the BLUE... this one surprised me that it can GLOW in the dark by absorbing the sun!....its beautiful and it is very enriched..
The silver wings is another that i grew to a liking which compliments the shaded areas!...
The part im abit concern was the face.. Becuase it's very hard to see what the face looks like on the pictures.. nor finding out the bevel engravements you did an overall average achivement...
The Gears are more polished and sharper but I fear this may slightly bend the blade abit! (who knows anyway)..
I noticed how the right has a glass encasing for the Clock but never on the left so this left me abit worried.. If the glass is there then its very well polished...
For some reason i felt like something was abit off on this keyblade.. and it has something to do with the pendelum being colored BLACK while the gradient texture is abit short! I am guessing that if its viewed at night, it will have that effect so all is not lost..
Overall this is a very well made refinement and I hope to see more others or continue to completely refine this again!... it looks amazing and fantastic and I hope one day I get to own one or... commission one....

First off, thanks for critiquing this!
I'm assuming from context you meant the brown clock part? For some reason, I couldn't get my camera to tone down the brightness with the settings I had it at. You can still see it in the other pictures, though.
Because of the brightness, the face looks to be a black color in some pictures, but it's actually a gunmetal gray and silver with black strokes. Camera's don't really show it too well, even in the wip picture with close-ups. You can see the shaping of the head in other finished pictures and even in the final primed pictures pictures.
I have told others before that the reason the face is not as shaped is because the face needed to be on top of the clock in order to keep from burrowing into the wood. With the beard on top, the rest of the face needed to be either a little flatter or make the whole head thicker which would disfigure the horns and fur on the sides.
Trust me, this keyblade is never going to break or bend in any way in that area.
The clock above the handle does have a cover over it, but I took careful precision to block the light from reflecting on it so you could see inside it. link
I'm not sure what you mean by pendulum, but my best guess is the keychain pendant. It's hard to tell what color it is because it's the background is black in the game. The No Name keyblade from bbs shouldn't be compared to this one as they are different keyblades and the colors are different/faded/hard to tell because of the model limitations.
If you want to clarify anything up in your critique or rewrite it to explain what you mean, I can wait.

thanks for the reply and Yeah i see the reflection and such for the smaller clock face..
The pendulum is actually a clock term for the entire Blade itself!... If you flip the keyblade upsidedown your seeing the actual pendulum of the clock (the mechanism that moves the clock from side to side).
What you were talkign about (the hourglass) is actually the keychain (yes you are correct).
All the models of No-names has their own unique-ness.. there is no 100% replica no matter how hard you try.. (learn this the hard way after putting so much effort that I want to break it at the tipping point)...
I will still stick to what I have written... PLease do not take this as an offense.. please take pride and enjoyment of your work. This is very beautiful and very very amazing to look at.
I am working so hard on the Master sword Ultima keyblade and so far I had to put everything on hold and work on my Link attire.
Keep working hard and Hope to see newer keyblades in the future...
Also I realllly hope one day I get to commission something from you when the time comes...

I don't think so, considering that would include the clock itself.
I replied to your other comment that these aren't replicas, these are the models from the game itself.
Thanks again.

This deviation shows a great improvement in crafting and technical skill in prop making.
The previous version in very rough and lacks the small details from version 3. By adding the small details to the newer version (number, decorative black border) the quality of the prop is increased exponentially.
The paint is also greatly improved and helps with the smoother appearance which makes the prop more realistic in appearance.
The hands on the clock face look as though you could move them to change the time if you wish which is a lovely illusion (unless you did make this possible, then massive kudos!).

Thank you for the critique! I'm glad now that I took all those pictures of the mistakes because now I can show the improvement. While there are still some things I couldn't fix because of the glow paint mainly, I'm still extremely happy with how it turned out as well.
