This is news for me, but as with most of things there is part that needs and has to be done. I think we have lots of nice pictures and maybe there will be more.
On the sidenote, my second picture was partialy inspired with Castle Greyhawks Tower of Power. I guess my mind was mostly there while doing this work as it is part of my Forgotten Realms Tethyamar/Greyhawk Greyhawk Ruins (2e version of castle Greyhawk)/Ravenloft... Campaign. Currently i have to prepare for my biweekly 2 hour online game for the next sunday and level characters up for the frozen wastes of one of Ravenlofts domains. It will take time, but it will probably be fun too.
Here is a second attempt.
@Kismet2012: Hi Kismet, thank you for the kind response. I also thought it was called a scabbard until I found out the Japanese call it a Skaya. I have no artistic background( that' why it's so nice to have DAZ studio to learn and play with) so for what it's worth; I have always found your renders very pleasing to my eye.;-)
@Scott, Thank you Scott for your suggestions. Finding the correct lighting to make your render POP and not be too bright or dull has always been the most challenging part of a render for me.
I went back and found the lighting source, for all of my props, was on Plastic. changed them to Matte except for the stand and turned down the intensity of the lighting.
I don't know if this is too risqué but I have a tendency to push limits when it comes to my art. So many art classes with nude models and I still can't draw :P
umm............. You do realise that this particular art class is for Still Life and not Figure Studies?
It would seem I was a bit distracted in those art classes and possibly slept through some of the theory classes :(
Shall go for plan b then :)
Changed the surfaces of my 'Tools' from plastic to matte.
@Everyone who commented, thanks for the input.
If no one thinks I should go with my last version, I'll post this version to the entry thread this evening.
Good luck to everyone who is entering.
@ 3ch0_419: It is a subtle difference between the two...but I am often amazed at how much a subtle change makes to a render.
I think I prefer this most recent version.

I agree. I just don't think I said that very well. :red:
