Dethblud - It looks great. I think the only tweaking I see needed is lighting. Yes, a dark room is cool, but this one is almost invisible! Even though there's no practical source for it, I'd put a backlight in the scene -- something above and behind the axe, pointed at the axe with very soft (or maybe even no cast-) shadows. This light will give an edge to the axe's handle, so we can see what it is. Right now (on my monitor, at least) all I can see is the metal rings toward the end. Maybe a soft edged spotlight on the sword might bring it out, too.... Subtle, but present. Even if you don't make any changes, though, it's a very cool image. - Chip
