Erikku's Katana Model In Blender

So Today, This Is Something I Thought Of Making Lately For My Inksona Erikku.

As You May Know, My OC Erikku Clausink Wields Two Katanas Once Granted By His Spirit Angel Spiritually, & Then Recreated Physically By Members From The T.S.M.A.S.W He Joins Later On, And This Is What I Pictured His Katanas To Actually Look Like.

Had To Do A Lot Of Redo's In Photoshop For The Handle Texture, Trying To Make The Brown Section Resemble The Handle Texture From The TF2 Katana, But The Dark Brown Outline Didn't Work The Way I Wanted It To And So I Had To Redo That Into What You See Here. Even The Symbols For The White Squid And Angel Wings Looked Funny, So I Had To Rearrange Those In Photoshop Too. Overall, I Nailed The UV Mapping For The Handle Of This Katana Pretty Well. As For The Textures For The Halo And Blade, I Gave Them Simple Base Colors With A Yellow & Grey And Then I Adjusted The Metallic, IOR & Roughness Materials To Give Them That Shiny Metal Vibes.

I Looked At References For Katanas & Noticed How The Blade Kinda Bends At The End, So I Tried To Make It Bend A Little To Match Accuracy.

At The Time I Took These Screenshots, I Have Not Rigged A Bone For This Yet Nor Have I Either Ctrl+P To Parent Or Ctrl+J To Join The Meshes Together.

I Don't Know Much Of The Difference Between Parenting A Mesh & Joining A Mesh As I Don't Want To Ruin The Texture Layouts, UV Mappings & The Materials Adjustments For This Model As Well As My Other Models I Have Made So Far.
