Your shading color wise makes me think it is a poor attempt at stone, I say move away from it and better use of contrast, probably near flat color instead of making a gradient like you did there.

Any of these what you think would look good (obviously not 4)? If not, I'll redo the hilt with new colors, or just ditch the hilt all together and try a different design for it. The blade part I'm happy with and won't make very major changes to it.

Alright, I like the advice, Its helping, however I'm stuck with the hilt design so I'll put that sword on hold for the time being. About to work on a sword that will be for a Wind Spirit type monster, heres the shape off the start, anything I should change before starting?
