Alathai the Inaheii in her full and fully rendered formal wear. This time it comes complete with the more ceremonial of her weapons.
I've made her a lefty. This accounts for some of her prowess in battle because while she often fights right-handed warriors they rarely come up against a left-handed one.
I haven't worked out any scars for her. I imagine she has them on the chest and belly but perhaps her impractical jewelry satisfies her need for risky diplays.

Nice! Very nice. Love the extravegant beading work...
How do the "buttons" work? I asssume the leather - or whatever material - has small slits on either side which are joined by double-hook "joiners" or with attached loops on one side and hooks on the other.
And just a point. A foreguard - or whatever - over the grip seems unfitting. Hiltguard yes, but as she is supposed to be really good...There is caution and there is pride and honor; I don't imagine her sacrificing the latter for the sake of the former unless she knows it means her life...and even then...

I'm not sweating it, but in my experience, buttons need to be sowed or stitched on and that means they can come off, depending on the quality of the work and the exact material used for the stitching and the wear and tear they are submitted to by their wearer.
My imagination attacks everything and tries to make something exotic out of commonplace, functional designs. I thought you were experimenting with the fasteners and so I tried to figure out what your concept was from what I could see. Now that you tell me, I think I have seen the sort of bottons you mean; ovoid/cylidrical, drilled or seared through the center lengthwise and the stitching chord is run through.
Not to say my concept for fasteners is any more practical or efficiant, but I am trying to revamp ordinary things to seem fresh and new with the CUP productions. Did you grasp what I was describing above for the "joiners"? A small, flat, thinnish piece of durable metal, rounded at both ends - basically a really short popsicle stick - and then curled back at both ends to form catches or hooks. Practicality and logic suggest that these seam joiners are crimped into the material on one side of the seam and hook/unhook on the other side, but they can just as easily be hooked on both sides and completely removable for whatever reason.

I don't know a lot about swords. So I googled sabre. Everything that came up on the images page either had a hand guard, was out of World of Warcraft (such a reliable source) or was a car (difficult to carry on a belt).
I actually prefer them without. I just assumed you meant what is, apparently, the vastly more popular style of sabre.
Ok, enough justifying. I'll try something else when next I'm working on Jrakelt and his mobile armory.
