Soul Edge (Incomplete)

Another "What would a version you could actually use look like?" redesign to practice rendering skills. To clarify, the image is complete; this is the incomplete form of Soul Edge (I'm not drawing the 'complete' form, AKA the Meatstick). I love the concept of this thing, and I wanted to make it look as menacing as possible. Remnants of an older blade being consumed and repurposed can still be see in the mess of twitching muscle and growing metal, and the knuckle guard hints at the awful truth. You never hold Soul Edge.
