It seems like somethings "off" kind of. Also, can someone show me how I would put shine on the bigger part of the blade.

The thing at the bottom is my sig.

It's really plain..
add some color ramping to break the monotony.
it's suffering from A LOT of banding, so get rid of that asap.
take away the black outline, and add some aa. if I remember correctly, Cloud's sword is much bigger than this, maybe make it a little bit longer?
those circles in the middle make it look really flat. add some depth by adding shadows and highlights.
Your lighting seems inconsistent, choose a light source and work with it.

You're on the right track, it looks really good, but it's just a little too boring. keep up the good work  :y:
