Blade Collector Redux

After seeing the high standard of the other entries, I decided to try and improve on my first entry, which in hindsight wasn't very difficult. This version is loads better, in my opinion.

I feel like I learned some things with this one, like not to be so afraid of contrast and backgrounds, and if something doesn't look right at first, sometimes it's best to run with it. It definitely paid off in this example (the background colours looked totally wrong to me when it was just the flats).

I think that's pretty much everything. Thanks to everyone who gave me critique.
