Description
Big sword. Probably my longest one yet.Wasnt tooo bad although I still have trouble on the handle I think I did ok this time, yes I know theres no guard but it didnt look right when I added one so meh.
Overall its alright, better then some but not the best.

This is pretty sweet man. Would like to see an Nodachi Shirasaya style like this someday haha.
But you should have added a habaki in for more realism. Other than that i like the sori, it's very identical to practical nodachi still trained with today i.e fucking hard to draw from the sheath XD

Thanks, you know I didn't even realize I left the habaki off till now. Doh.
It would be nice to have a nicely carved shirasaya mount like this.

This is done really nicely. How long did it take? What program do you do these in and how? Teach me, sensei, oh master of the blades... please?!

Couple hours, photoshop, and its more or less a lot of layers, its kinda complicated

I don't think I would like it with a guard. it looks lovely. The handle is really awesome.

that cant be a nodachi,
nodachi's are straight ninja-samurai katanas, right? i havent ever seen a sword that bent...im sure it would be cooler a bit more straight.

odachi/nodachis are field swords meant to bring down calvary, sorta like a claymore
its bent that much to help with drawing it from a scabbard
ninjato is probably what your thinking of for the straight sword and theyre usualy smaller then a katana
