Here you can start to see the major design change, compared to original stuff.
First all rlief carvings are deeper and rounded, with smooth finish, but the most visible is I made a hollow mouth, carving teeth individually, same for nose, it's hollowed.

are you doing the handle as well?
hope so, didn't find the material yet.
This is amazing!
carving is almost finished.
The idea was to make the design cleaner than original, so all carvings are deeper, rounded, polished, and some details are modified to get better look.
I already have made the blade, habaki, tsuba, fushi, ring and dragon head, and made a extra handle cast.
For the blade I made a aged look resin handle with wooden core, I could spare it, use the marto fittings on it, and put a better blade on it too, , because it would be far better than marto handle for sure, then, put in junkyard.
