For this moodboard, I wanted to portray an ancient, mystical object with tremendous weight and power. The blade would be a steel texture showing a lot of corrosion and signs of intense usage (chips, scratches). This blade is backed with a solid piece of wood (showing signs of rot), lined with a tarnished gold backing. The handle is made of solid stone, and studs of ivory line the blade and handle. Ivory is sometimes seen as a more “barbaric” form of gem, as it is taken from the tusks and teeth of elephants and similar animals.

Really like the ancient sword idea, and your layout is really simple and straight forward. You get your idea across very well, the whole layout is very professional IMO.
well from first glance everything is very clean it looks great but the problem im having is visualizing the sword your trying to create maybe if i look at it longer it’ll pop in my head but other then that it looks very well done
