It's not perfect but works well at arms length - c+c appreciated

I think it looks good for a first try mate. Blending at the top could be smoother and the sword looks a little short to me (depends I guess), those are the things that pop out at me. But solid effort for a first try, I've never done freehand before so I'm probably not the best judge.

I think you're right, I might try extending the sword. I knew it was off but couldn't work out what was right. Yea I think I'll go back and add another orange glaze to smooth that blend

Looks really good for a first go! I like it a lot.
