Anduril (LOTR Sword)

Artwork Works in Progress

Ok, so I’m trying to get this to look as real as possible, I have some pictures and I attached the .blend so you can take a look at it.
Thoughts?

I came across a number of Anduril references while I was working on my own sword project. I found these on the Weta website.

Are you planning on including the etched text on the blade and pommel? If so, how are you planning on approaching that?

Since the etched text is rather shallow, I was planning on using bump mapping for it. I found a lotr font so I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks for the references, I found one from Google, but it was rather skewed from camera’s perspective.
