Xemorus: Shikai

This is probably the most difficult sword I've had requested. Xemorus requested this as his Shikai, the reference photo I *think* (based on a friend's comment) was originally of Dante from Devil May Cry (unknown version - probably 3 or 4). If the complexity weren't enough, my lack of ability to hit the save button often and the frequent crashing of LightWave made it even worse. I've learned my lesson, though. Ctrl-S is my friend.

For those of you not familiar with Bleach:
A Zanpakutou is a sword with the ability to change appearance and powers proportional to the power of the owner. The unreleased sword is what it looks like when carried. When the user wishes to fight with more power, it can be "released" to Shikai form (Japanese, shi-, first, and -kai, release). If the user can become even more powerful, they achieve a Bankai (ban- meaning second), which is considered the highest attainable level of power.
