Darkware inspired me....feedback pls

he made me get off my ass and actually get something going...congrats to him!!

anyways like he I have been thinking about lightsaber stuff....by stuff I mean pretty much everything from props, fight scenes, fx etc....

here's something I made...then tweaked in PS user added image

excuse pic size...and excuse the fact that it's here....it's not a WIP and it's not worthy of gallery status...if it goes somewhere else....ah well... I tried...hehe

I know the handle is off colored....but this is only for the blade
