Awesome design. I like it very much. It does look like one he would have.

[MasterRoop]

i like it. it looks cool with all those slits in the overlay.

[ARKM]

Nice! Looks... chitinous. I demand that you make this saber real! *waves hand*

You silly mind tricks are no match for a mind as devious as mi- *takes a sink tube and starts working*

HA! My devious mind had yours fooled! now, I demand you demand your demands to someone more skilled at sabersmithing and demandable! *Forcefully waves hand* :twisted:

glad your minds liked the saber though 8)

[MasterRoop]

that looks even better! :D

you should make those grey bars at the end light up! that would be sweet!

[DJMoonbass]

Wow that is amazing. That think just emmits dark side radiance. I'm seeing A 5 watt red LEDengin

[Darth Cipher]

that is an awesome saber! Keep us updated! What program do you use for rendering?

[Gin Malinko]

well if it would be custom made for him, wouldn't it have a red blade? since hes evil and all.

[Darth Cipher]

well he always use jedi lightsabers, which are blue and green...but one of them should have been his right? Dooku trained him...would he have had to build his own?

[MasterRoop]

he should be able to make one really easily since he has 4 arms.

[DJMoonbass]

Well since his wrist spin at the joints shouldn't he have four double bladed lightsabers? How bad would that be?

[mihunai]

im glad you guys like this one :p
the reasons i picked a green blade and not a red one, are:
-he's never seen with a red blade, so that would change his image...
-i like green :)
-he has a green gutsack
-------------------------------------------------------

that is an awesome saber! Keep us updated! What program do you use for rendering?

blender, its a free program.

they are replicas of his mouth bars, and they dont light up, so...
-------------------------------------------------------
just one more thing, see if you guys can find the parts that match with Grievous' armor :cool:

[mihunai]

Grievous wouldn't build his saber, the whole not-force-sensitive thing.....

Also, I like it with the green blade. (and the steampunk grievous)

[Darth Leximus]

Barm nailed that one folks. You can't build a saber without the force, it's necessary to properly align the crystals and each saber carries a bit of the builder in it which can only be achieved through the force.

[MasterRoop]

woah!!! that steam punk grievous is AMAZING!!!!

[mihunai]

allright then, what if Dooku made it for him as a gift?
i mean, no one knows what his first saber was, right?

mTm

[Col-mar]

mihunai:

A: That was done in Bender?! Bravo

B: His first saber was taken from the first Jedi he killed. I believe in was said in the EP3 novel on one of the comic books.

hm... in that case, it is just another custom-saber design... oh well
it would be cool if this was his though...

btw, wasnt his first saber that double saber that once belonged to Bane?

[Sairon]

Grievious' first saber came from Sifo Dyas who was killed by Dooku who gave Sifo's saber to Grievious, the rest he "collected".

And Yes that Saber does look sweet.

I think that would be the best thing in the case of his own personal saber and it looks very cool, I think its certainly worthy of the great Kaleesh warlord himself but if I may represent, being a huge grievous fan, this design was a work in progress with three years of refinements and it finally became complete. Actually I added one more slight change after this but this will do for now. Honestly though in the real SW universe yours would be more applicable to being his actual saber than this.

So I love yours but I wanted to show this too. I hope its alright with you.

Nice work on that one!
i was thinking about a nice way to incorporate his earpanels or armplates.
im not really shure about the crystalchamber design though, it kindof changes his 'face' :)
one thing id like to see on that saber is the lines shown on his armor

other than that, nice job!

Both of you have made amazing renders, keep up the good work. I would love to see it if even one of these were realized and built. That would be intense!

The crystal chamber kinda-of symbolizes his vital organs with the crystal being the heart of the saber and being in a similar place on the saber in relation to Grievous' organs. The kaleesh symbol that the crystal is behind is not part of his face, if you notice there is a thin seperation line between the symbol and the emitter. But anyway I still hope I might build this someday, right now I'm distracted with my guitar building.

I hope that makes sense.

BTW the render was not done by me, it was done by Kwirkeej on the Randomsabers forum.

If you do build it, I will require photos.
LOTS of photos!!!
