Description
A commission piece, the True Master Sword is from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword or the Wii. This is also my favorite version of the Master Sword, so a lot of effort was put into making this as accurate as possible to the available reference material. This particular painted version represents the in-game version. Some features, such as the textured grip weave, were even derived from the book Hyrule Historia, in which Skyward Sword's concept artist notes that the green wrap is a grass-like material. The final product shown here is made out of Smooth Cast 305 resin, with a steel rod running down the length of it for strength.

I know I'm late, but damn. This is unbelievable and ridiculously beautiful. I tried making the Master Sword and I couldn't get anywhere near the crispness of your sculpt, the accuracy of your colors, just... wow. Everything about this is as professional as can be. You're a bloody pro. *bows in deep respect*
I too love the Skyward Sword (and by proxy the Breath of the Wild version) of this sword, and I love that you added the tiny details in Hyrule Historia as well. I looked at your other image uploads and wish I had time to favourite them all, there's no way to show you enough appreciation for how fantastic your work is.
May I ask what did you do to make the metallic look of the blade, it's got a high sheen and registers spectacularly metallic? Your photography set up is great and helped, but it's obviously a great paint job, and I struggled with it immensely on my own version. Although mine too is definitely not LARP-able merely a cosplay item, it's still FAR more fragile than I'd like, and I keep having issues with the finish. Again I want to say fantastic and amazing work, you're an inspiration and I'm very glad I finally saw your work. Soon as I have more energy I plan on going through your entire portfolio! Thank you kindly for everything, best wishes to you always!
