    It's a weird shape. That's not what a blade looks like.

    The shading is messed up, you're on the right track, but the lighting appears to be pillow shaded in a way; it's really contrasted.

    Good job though

    I like how you tried to make it appear rustic and used, however there is a lot that can be improved upon.

    - The hilt itself isn't very appealing, try using a reference from here.
    - The shading is flat, this isn't something you can immediately improve upon, but rather with practice and time.
    - The handle is a little too short, look here for an example on how much you should extend it by.
    - The blade itself also contains a lot of jaggies, refer to this post for some assistance in removing them and overall making your melee better shaded.

    Solid effort though.

    Good attempt at a first try.
    Here's some tips.
    -Reduce jaggies (Smooth-en your sword) and avoid over-outlining (thickening outline at some points)
    -Fix the shading at the hilt to match the location of the light source
    -Remember to AA some parts, to create a less jaggy appearance.

    I can't think of any more but here's an edit I made (If you don't mind) so you can study off of it.

    Now, I'm not saying you should shade EXACTLY like me. But I'm just giving you a general idea.
    Keep posting more.
