Critique Request Sculpted knife

[vilts]

Hello all,

I wanted to practice my sculpting a little and this is the first half of the knife. Quite a few people saw it half done at Engrave-In and I finally managed to finish it. This side took 51 hours and it always surprises me just how much time sculpting takes. Design is very experimental, I just wanted to see how such elements look in sculpted form.

Please do pick it apart, so I could make the other side a better one

Hello Viljo!
Your work on that knife looks pretty good! I can't see a mistake.
I like your style/design.
Regards, Mario.

I can't find anything to pick a part, I think it looks great and a very distinct design indeed.

I like it; an unusual design. I can't see anything to do differently.
How did you do the back round?

The knife looks great!!! I like the way you were thinking out of the box and created something different.

Hello Viljo,

Delightful knife! In addition to your great technical execution, my favorite part is the way you've "reversed" the sculpting on the leaves; one side has the vein sticking out and the leaves hollowed, and the other has the body of the leaves convex with the vein hollowed. Nice touch.

Best regards,
Doug

Thanks for the nice comments, you are too kind

Kevin, the inside triangle background is just stippled, but the outside it "stippled" with small round and polished, umm, tool.
