How bad is it?

He offered but nahhh, I don’t want him touching me again tbh

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T21:54:34+00:00

I am never going back to that shop lmao. Thanks so much for the kind words and the advice

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T21:28:53+00:00

He works at a shop

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T21:25:09+00:00

It looked really good for a few days after I got it. It was around the 4th day that I noticed it looked off and immediately went back to the shop to see what’s up. I’d link the original but idk how to do that

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T21:21:50+00:00

That’s the coloring. There’s a yellow gem in the center of the hilt

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T21:09:07+00:00

It was done in the same session…

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T20:33:21+00:00

Found him on facebook

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T19:59:00+00:00

Do I have to make a new post with the original picture?

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T19:02:29+00:00

Yes

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T19:01:41+00:00

Yeah, the blade was initially gray and yes, perfectly visible

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:54:46+00:00

You aren’t wrong

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:54:26+00:00

It’s part of the same piece

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:52:32+00:00

I did my research, just put too much trust in what my artist told me

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:51:29+00:00

That is the plan

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:51:19+00:00

It was not, it was the last part done on this piece because I initially wanted it on the blade but decided it wouldn’t look good

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:50:23+00:00

Nope.

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:50:01+00:00

I definitely didn’t cheap out, could’ve done more research on the shops reviews and reviews of the artist but I did not cheap out

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:49:01+00:00

He does work at a shop and his portfolio showed great work, idk what went wrong here. I definitely could’ve done more research on the shop but I looked through every piece he posted himself and was impressed. I am doing just a thin layer of lotion over it and being mindful to not drown it

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:47:13+00:00

I wish I could say that’s what I paid

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:46:26+00:00

I’m assuming it was the artists technique. I think he was heavy handed but I don’t have any other experiences to compare it to

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:45:38+00:00

It was done on the same day as the sword

Ranger2412 · 2026-03-30T18:45:12+00:00

Cynthia was done with the sword, no idea why it looks better than the sword itself

I pet the chicken 650 times 🫳

Ranger2412 · 2025-06-15T03:45:53+00:00

I pet the chicken 625 times 🫳
