First real render

I just started using blender a week or two ago after about a half a year off (back then I still didn’t do anything good) and this is my first serious project, a sword, I think the cross-guard looks pretty plain so later I wanted to do some kind of design on it, but for now, what can I improve on?

Nice first render…but i think the sword tip looks different from that angle…is it caused by lighting/shadow?

I noticed it’s a bit messed up at the tip so i’m gonna try to fix that.

Did you made a sword blade profile or cross-section and extruded it??

I made the whole thing by extruding and shaping a cube.
