    Default A new object for you critique.

    Artistically (I hope) damaged guard. This time I tried to avoid crosshatching and get as much 3D effect as possible from simple shading.

    Any critique is welcome.

    Love the engraving. And the brass (?) spacer is an excellent touch.

    Wonderful work! Shading is very well done and yes it is artistic but certainly not damaged. Fred
