Can't make it look good. >=[

[MisterMastermind]

This one I want to make really good, and I'd like to see different people's styles so I can learn from them. Mine's looking horrible now, and I can't seem to get it to look good. And I'm still debating on a sapphire on the hilt or a cross on the narrow part of the blade. If you go with sapphire I'd like it to get a nice look that seems to belong to the water, or a dark look if you go with the cross.

Ohyes... Icons from the images are a bit weird, the blade expands on both sides before it shrinks..

edit: I'm happy with the new one aside from the blade, an edit on that would be very helpful.
