Your dagger looks closer to the original. Maybe we should use yours instead.
Either way it's a beautiful sculpt, so we should use it for something. The blade looks like it could be a good Stahlrim dagger, as for the handle... maybe a unique model for the Dagoth dagger. Actually, I think the whole thing could be a good Mehrune's Razor. I've hated every version of the Razor that Bethesda made. It always looks 1980's to me.
So, regardless of what's going to end up being used, I went ahead and sculpted some detail in here to amuse myself. Feel free to comment, yell, throw things.
looks great plasmax, you have a talent for making beautiful weapons![External image]

I actually like the model of Skyrim's Mehrunes Razor, but I wish the texture had a little more work...
elongate the hilt and even more so for the blade and you'd have a good telvanni guard weapon.
Dude you have some serious skills. The detail on that thing is amazing! You should give the Ebony Scimitar a try. That has a lot of cool detail on it that I bet you could pull off. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:TR-weapon-Ebony_Scimitar.jpg

Looking great! Can't wait to see it in game!
LOVE it!!! Looks just like real bone!

Nice texture. If you are so dead set on replacing my model for this weapon, I would go with your sculpt from the first post. I like it a lot better than the one with the carvings.

I'm not trying to replace your work, I don't care if this gets used or not. I agree with you about the first sculpt looking a bit better but it felt like the wrong material to me and I wanted to keep the design fairly consistent across the model.
I'm sorry. I made an assumption, and got my feelings hurt. It's just that I'm new and haven't contributed much. But enough about my delicate ego.
Your model is really good, and your texturing skill is very impressive. What I don't like about the second sculpt is that the style seems different between the blade, guard, handle, and cross piece. If it was one distinct type of sculpt everywhere, it would be more consistent and you would really be on to something.
I see your point. And now I'm thinking of going back to the sculpt, haha... I did a few pen sketches and it looks interesting with the hilt style carried through to the blade guard. If I have time I'll start over, although I'll be sorry to lose a few hours of hand painted texture work/retopo.
If you split the dagger into different sections, you wouldn't lose any work, and you would end up up with multiple weapons. I think the handle would be good for the Dagoth dagger (the design reminds me of ascended sleeper tentacles) if you made it black and red, and you could re-use it as a start for a bad ass 6th house bell hammer.
As for the blade and the guard, it would have been a great chitin dagger, but Ravanna is already doing that. Maybe it could be an ashlander chitin dagger, since we have two sets of chitin armor now.

Just noticed the other fang
Just noticed the other fang thread. Will probably do something else now.
