I've managed to successfully download Maya 2011 onto my computer. Last year I had problems due to the fact that I couldn't access my university email account in order to verify my account. Now that I've linked it to my home email account, I was able to complete the download. I'm very pleased about this as this will help with completing my assignment greatly where I can use my free time at home to work on my model instead of having to rely on the limited time in university.
Speaking of my assignment, it's likely that I will stick to the sword face idea. To help me design my sword, I've gathered some images of swords onto a mood board. It contains a mix of fantasy swords (mainly from video games) and real ones.
Swords with faces have been done before. One example is the sword named Caliburn from Sonic and the Black Knight released for the Wii in 2009. The sword could talk and during cutscenes, you can see his eyes and mouth below the hilt. His gentlemen attitude clashes with Sonic's and the two would often insult each other. Below is a video link:

For my design, I would probably produce a similar design to Caliburn's but with more focus on the eyes as they can show off some emotions quite easily like anger or sorrow.
