I have recently decided to make custom shields and swords. But the official sword template seems to have parts of the sword cut off, like the trail, hilt, etc. If I upload the sword template with as much filled in as the guidelines let me, will the sword turn out okay? And I also want to make a shield featuring the sword on my back, from all different sides. but again, the sides of the template that shows a body have parts of the body cut off. Can I just make the shield using no template and just have it show the different sides of the shield?

thanks.
