As requested by DesiStrife
HERE. To be honest I had a good time with this one. The Monado has that enormous hole in its center and it took me a while to figure out how to get that in there, keep within the constraints, and not make the blades look tiny. It's a damn bulky sword. I actually went a little off track and made 3 versions of the Monado this time around. Enjoy!

HERE). This version has the Monado open but with no beam on the blade and has a trail edited from one of Tyxant's lightsabers with permission. The idea is that the Monado beam extends when you swing. An example can be seen in the above Imgur album, pic #5.
