At first it seemed impressive but now its very repetitive, and now repetitive on a very good piece of steel not some 10 dollar DA.
My opinion is: boring! I say push the envelope man, start doing some serious Bill Elliot style spine work with that dremel, flowers, gargoyles, symbols, and more, things we haven't seen. Love to see some serious inlay work.
My advice take a look at ornate wood carvings and glen (oops glean,sorry Glen)some ideas, and turn the steel into wood! This is what I would be doing if I was decent with a dremel, currently I can only buff, and that's barely. So this is truly critic as artist here, however I think this is what major companies would be or should be doing.
Everyone seems to customize scales, I say customize the steel, give it complex images and symbols...
cheers that's my humble 2 cents.
