Materia-upgrade

Sorry its been so long since I've made a submition and it might be a while before my next one to. I wont know till something hits me cuz I've been going through a really big artists slump and I need to get my spark beck before I create anything that good.

In this vestion of the foxfire shuriken I added 4 materia in the blade attachments and I changed the blades materia to give them a mystical diamond look. After I looked at it for a while it reminded me or kh2 and that black aura effect they had so I desided to create a transparent crystal around each diamond and kinda recreate that effect. My modelling is pretty good, but if your into 3d graphics you know that modelling is the easy part. The real pain in the ass is rendering. I got so pissed of with how crappy the lighting looked in this one that I just said fuck it, then took out all the lighting and put a black plane behind it.

Well I'm getting a maya rendering book for christmas so after that my submitions will look a lot better.
