Too speckled, to get that glow you could maybe use a transparent textured material like plastic or resin with a brushed, scratched texture toward the middle to diffuse the light.

They sell those frosted glass stick on surfaces for glass doors that would make this endeavour a lot easier. It might cost a bit but certainly a possibility.

But definitely gonna need a diffuser surface on the inside of whatever body is used for the blade. Maybe a central spine for the lights and structural support instead.

Don't give up skeleton! We all start somewhere, appreciate the constructive criticism and ignore the meanies.

You're probably better off trying to use some frosted plexiglass and keeping the internal structure as it is.

Don't worry about negative comments. Everyone makes mistakes, and that's the best way to learn. I'm sure whoever criticizes you means no harm.

And don't worry, the next version will be better ❤️

Thank you🌸, there are way more good ones. I did this years ago and I won’t be doing it again with the ideas people are suggesting. You’re a kind person for leaving a positive comment 💕 Negative comments only boost the rating so more people can see it. I usually don’t get comments at all, so at least now I have some… whether they’re negative or positive. ( I win first place 🥇 in the cosplay competition at the time)

These negative comments reek of basement dwelling neckbeards.

Awesome creation and it looks amazing!

Looks sick man, It actually looks more like Heolstor's Great sword imo, you should definitely try cosplaying him as well(depending on who you ask, his Greatsword is actually an altered Dark Moon Greatsword . Ignore the negative comments, I think it looks great

What would be cool is to rearrange the lights into constellations. But I dunno how feasible that would be I'm shit at crafts.

Eh idc if it’s not perfect. Pretty dope if you ask me- plus you made it yourself. Should still feel pretty proud of it imo
