Mesh Cleanup and how to ... (''Wendigo'' Dagger)

[Incognito]

Hi guys,


I've been modeling before, but had bugs/didn't know how to continue so I stopped for quite a long time...
But I didn't think about asking other people for help, so that was my biggest mistake. I hope you can help :D, because I REALLY wanna do something with 3D, just love it.

Here's what I mean:

This is the render of the dagger as it is now:



And here the issues:

As you can see, the point of the blade is pretty messed up, I've always had problems with blades, this is the first time I've got something ''blade-like'':



You can EDIT the picture to show me what you mean, I'd appreciate it. Any way to make it looks nice/go with the blade?


2nd:


I'd like to make something like in the picture below. I don't know should I use ''MAKE PLANAR'' or just rearrange the vertices... HEEELP



Cheers and thanx in advance

Jeesh man, is this the wrong category?!

Anyway, I made a progress, somehow...


The area around the top of the blade got cleared:


(dunno wot's with me and the clrs :S)

And here the.. new design (kinda):

Ty for the reply :),

fortunately, I got my problems solved on another site (this one ain't that reliable -.-)

So here's my latest version, still few things to fix though:

-Tip of the blade
-Rear face of the grip
-Attachment to the rear
-Smoothing Groups, texturing




I made the dagger out of my head, drew a picture in school, sooo.. that'd be my reference image...


Thx for the reply man, really appreciate it
