Orona Commisioned this piece as a suprise for his freind Nidonocu, both of whome are pictured here!
It was while drawing this it struck me that sideways handles on a sword are completely retarted. Its like some sort of enormous punching dagger. I had to take some artistic licencing on the weapons held by Orona, but Im sure the Elites wont mind. I can cut them some slack anyway - they have 2 thumbs on each hand.

I think that they're designed with the intention of thrusting attacks and wide slashes, rather than movie-style "traditional" swordfights. Assuming that the energy blade itself is weightless, it actually makes it a very swift weapon and requires little exerted effort to use, therefore the perpendicular "punching dagger" style handle is more practical than the traditional handle parallel to the blade, as it allows you to use a far wider degree of wrist movements to wield.
in b4 lol wrist movements and swordplay. :V
