[Suggestion]Umbra - The Black Sword

I know that there's probably a lot of requests and suggestions, but IMO what really should be done about Oblivion blades is the Umbra sword. Why? Because it's supposed to be the strongest and most badass sword in the game, yet, from visual point of view, it's the shittest... The texture and model looks awful, even the mundane steel sword has a better design. That's why my first thougt when I got this sword was: "damn, I hope there is a good replace mod".

You show some great tallent in Your mods. What I like the most about Your swords is that they looks real and not ridiculous (like most player-made). That's why You would be the best person to give "The Black Sword" deserving appearance. I think that many people would be happy about such mod.

But, of course, this is only a suggestion.


PS And thanks for the amazing blades You done so far, keep up the good work.

Well, there are alot of Umbra mods out there.
Check TESNexus for one you like.

I agree that the vanilla Umbra is dissapointing, but there are some really good Umbras to be found on Nexus.
And hey!
Don't distract him from working on Real Swords! :-?

And since I'm such a nice person I'll get you some links for those Umbra mods right away ;)

First one. Just a vanilla rework of Umbra. It has a cleaned up texture, and the mesh is slighty changed.

This one goes alot more into the 'fantasy' direction. Alot of curves and 'cool' design choices. New model, new texture.

And another one. It looks kind of dragon-inspired. It that's your thing, this one is for you.

Umbra will get a version most probably but not until I do RealSwords Legendary Blades.

That is after I'm done with the remaining 3 races.

Now that's excellent news.
There are already some very decent Umbras out there, but yours will without doubt surpass them all. :-D-)

Well...
Not until Legendary Blades?

Alright, that will take a while.
But it's gonna be worth the wait, just like all the others.
