OT: Good Picture of the Black Sword

Post by Noviere »

I remember years ago someone did an amazing render of the Black Sword. Does anyone know if it's still around, or know of where I can find any good pictures of it?

Are you referring to the picture at the bottom of this page?

Yup, that's the one Dino. Thanks a lot! Did that originally come from Mysterious Sosaria? I was planning on using it for something I had planned, but was hoping to get a larger image, and the artists permission :)

hmm i never liked the Black Sword's look...
it's ugly! the blade has to be twice the length! and the "handles" doesn't look like a Two-Handed-Sword
what do you think?

I don't think Televar (webmaster of Mysterious Sosaria) made the picture of the Black Sword. His old "Martial Arts" section containing weapons and pictures of them, which is no longer at his website, can be found here and I haven't found the same picture of the Black Sword there.

You could mail Evil_Freak Dragon and ask him from where the picture comes.

Hmm, you're right. It's not listed there(though the Royal Arsenal button isn't linked to anything, maybe it was in that section). The reason I think Televar made it is because the back buttons used in the Martial Arts page use the same image of the Black Sword. I'll have to e-mail Evil_Freak.

Thanks for your help :)

I have a partial copy of Televar's old site, which includes the Royal Armoury section. That is the image of the Black Sword used in it.

Could you e-mail it to me, Paulon? I'm hoping to get a larger image of the Blacksword.

That's by Televar, it's definetly the same style :-)

On a related topic, where was Micro Dragon's old site? Is it still up?

The design of the Black Sword always bothered me.... you'd cut your arms up with that pommel and the quillions. Very dangerous to the user.....

Micro Dragon's site is still up. It was thought lost but Xe Dragon pointed it out to me... it still exists.
