Hmm, not sure how I feel about this one. I like the idea. It doesn't look "real" though, y'know? Could use some more shading/contrast to make it look less fleshy.
your "artist" could have done a lot better, he could have added some shading and maybe some "smoky" look behind your sword so that way it didnt look like he just peeled it off paper and stuck it on you. i really love the idea though
