I hope you don't mind a few suggestions. I'd like to address your orc blade. The bottom of your handle, the hilt part, should be a bit rounded or curved, not flat. Also, the outter edge of the hook at the top of the blade looks like it should be closer to a 90 degree angle. The tiny spike at the bottom of the blade seems to be curved too much, as if a circle had been stamped out of it. It might look better if it were more of an oval and less circular.

That is what changes I would make to it, just a suggestion.

Basically I chromed the blade and added some dark detail, and also darkened the handle and added some shading detail. But it does go off the original concept

ill darken the handle but im gonna leave the blade cuase im going to put blood on it.

Good luck on the blood, it isnt easy to get blood looking good but when you apply the blood, make it so you can still see some of the sword colour so the blood is quite pale in places.

(note this will be one of few renders not posted in the first post)
