Introduction (first post anyway): I'm Deral Elfor (not my real name ). Jedi Guardian, light side, switching back & forth between Tank & DPS.

Anyway, here's a showcase of my saber designs made in Paint (feedback is always welcome):

My lightsaberr named "Firebird" (multi-purpose dual-phase lightsaber to be used for anything [dual-wielding, single-wielding, uses in all 7 lightsaber forms, "Starkiller" grip aka reverse grip, very comfortable, very efficient, etc.):

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k219/JediMasterDerek87/Derekslightsaberchart_zpsd8355366.png (Version 1 ranged from 2002-2006, based on Obi-Wan TPM/AOTC & Anakin AOTC lightsabers. Version 2 ranged from 2006-2010 & was based on a design I just came up with for CAD class back in high school. Version 3 was made in 2010 when I wanted to combine 1 & 2 together to make one design. Version 4 was based off of 3 along with a few SWTOR hilts that I liked. Version 5 was a simplified version of 4 with a crystal pommel. Version 6 was mainly an experiment. Version 7 scrapped the crystal pommel & the black bar grips & introduced a new emitter design along with a new pommel. Version 8, which you will see below, was much more balanced for the purpose of being the ultimate dual-phase multi-purpose lightsaber [i'll explain in a bit]. Version 9 isn't finalized yet as of this post & will be posted soon. Version 10, as you will see below, goes back to the bar grips but keeps the pommel & emitter for a simpler look. Version 11 once again scraps the black bar grips & has the chrome disc grips. Version 12, along with other variants, as you see below, is the latest one that looks the most balanced & easy to wield for anything [use it for Forms 1-7, dual-wielding, Starkiller grip, etc.] for superior comfort. All of the designs did have changes made to them before showcasing. The blade color is a sapphire blue color [still trying to get the "right" sapphire blue palette finalized]. Versions 8-12 will be added to the chart soon. The "Sith" version is what my saber would look like if "I" fell to the dark side, which is very unlikely.)

Version 8:

One variant of V.12 "Remastered" (meaning made larger with thinner lines & better detail) with updated grips, sapphire blue palette, & showing what the "switches" for dual-phase function's sizes are:

Version 7 by itself (took a long while to finalize the design):

Now for the "Others" in the gallery:

This was a Christmas gift to a friend. He wanted it to look like the Praetor hilt from "Jedi Academy" along with one other familiar Jedi hilt from SWTOR:

Based on my Firebird V.12, made this for fun for a friend (he loves the Anakin ROTS hilt & he LOVES this one too!):

This is a double-bladed lightsaber for a female Mirialan Jedi Shadow character named Kailee for a SWTOR fan-fic I'm making (based on several SWTOR lightsabers with a few custom ideas):

This was made for fun, hence why it was made as a line-art (unclaimed as of this post; also inspiration for my Firebird V.7):

This was also made for fun & experimenting. The overall design & colors was claimed by another friend (she loved it):

Thoughts? Feedback? Always looking to improve & showcase more. I'm always thinking of new ideas.
