[Grimnnak]

Im not sure what went wrong when making the Shading and light source, Anyone want to give me some tips?

I am not sure if it's just my eyes or are the handles a bit of?

well a light source is where your light is coming from right so decide where its gonna come from and the spots that it dosent get light should be shaded am i right if not somebody correct me.

He seems to know what a light source is if you read his post. Anyway..
You got some pillow shading on that blade, and the handle is not symmetrical, and it looks like it should be in this case. the handle is shaded good although you should have more contrast. I'm also not sure where your light source is, from the top or? I usually go upper right, as when you got a light source from the side it usually helps and it also makes it more interesting to look at imo.

I did an edit of your sword, I changed the colors, so it has more contrast, it also has an outline which helps it stand out, the outline is also affected by the light source. (which I did upper right), I made the handle symmetrical and with a smaller handle as yours was very big and would be hard to hold.

I'd recommend you use a light gray background when working as when you have white it's easy to make it too bright and it wont stand out in the game as much.
