here's the original hand sketch...

And here's the WIP so far...
[attachmentid=147]
I'm kinda stuck on the gems, I can't seem to figure out WHY they don't look right...
Same with the wooden handle, the wood seems "chalky" to me...
any help would be appreciated!
I am not an artist, so can't judge art. MY problem lays in the handgrip... isn't it... backwards? The heavier end is on the RIGHT side, yet your handgrip is so that when you hold it, the SMALLER side would be forward.
