Weapon of the Black Knight

[ContrivanCe]

For a comp at deviantart:

Black Knight Weapon
We all have heard the legend of the Black knight. A powerful warrior known for his prowess in battle and his dark blackened armor. The Black knight is one who shows no allegiance to anyone. So this month, we will be using this legend as the base for the new weapon. You can do any kind of Black Knight, from the great knights of English lore to the ronins of Japan. You job is to create the weapon used by the black knight. If possible, come up with a story for the weapon and what kind of black knight uses it and so on.

Programs:
zBrush, maya, photoshop.

It's finished, but crits welcome.

why did you use z-brush for it? i can't see anything what can make a bump anyway.

The background is horrible.

You should work on the textures again.
