The Sword of Kahless

Description

Just a quick warm up since I haven't done anything CGI for a little bit.

Based on the 4th season STDS9 episode of the same name. Kor, Dax and Worf embark on a quest to find the Sword of Kahless and eventually find it. However, rather than unite the empire, it turns out that its mystical power corrupts Kor's and Worf's honor and view and in the end they decide to beam it into space so that it may be found again in the future. That scene is shown here.


Call it a free interpretation of the last episode scene.

Background: Textured environment, created by me in LW.

Meshes: Sword of Kahless by Alan Hart, Danube-class by Thomas Slanitz.

Composition: Scene and lighting setup in LW, final composition in PS. Final modifications such as glows, blurs, transporter effects, additional sword textures etc. done in PS. Added slight blue-ish tinge and grain for TV effect.

You know that sword is in Dominion space, right? It would probably confuse them if they found a Klingon weapon floating in the middle of nowhere, tens of thousands of light-years from the Klingon Empire.
