313: Twin heavy swords

The first material produced for a personal project "313: The Memory of a Beast Called Nostalgia".

They are a pair of heavy swords used by giant mechanical suit of armor the Razor Frame: Stega. 313 takes place in an alternate future when humanity wages war in deep space without the use of firearms. The Stega's pilot uses a fighting style truly adapted for space, a dual wielding style that has no "up" and covers all 720 degrees of direction.

The blades are more designed for slashing or cleaving, though the sword is capable of thrusting, a thrust would deal damage with brute strength rather than being pointed. There are separate blades on both the front edge and back edge of the weapon.

The swords are usually wielded one in each hand and can be handled traditionally or held by ring-style handle of the weapon. They allow the sword to be held at any angle and to even be spun freely in the Stega's hands and behave nearly like a flexible joint. The "free joint" allows the sword to be whipped around at great speeds.

There is a hidden weapon in the sword: The reason for its weight and girth is to house a beam blade projector in the center ridge. The long beam blades can only be used briefly, but are intended to allow the Stega to fell battleships on its own when within enemy lines.

More info on RF: Stega will come as soon as I post its lineart. (Not really planning on working on it soon.)

*Practicing with gradient tools to see if I can make polished surfaces look better. I may still play around with the weapon's length/proportion later on in the future.
