Unfortunately, even if the creator wanted to, nikana skins are not accepted by DE; under the guidlines that specify 8 specific weapons: Amprex, Gorgon, Sybaris, Jat Kittag, Skana, Galatine, Kronen, and Orthos.

The closest they would be able to do is a longsword skin.

Lol no, you havent been in touch XD
Nikana, nikana with sheathes, fist, axe, opticor and arca plasmor skins can now be made

Why woud DE deny skins for particular weapons ?

Btw do Tennogen artists take requests at all ? It's probably the first time I see someone asking for something that specific in here, but I'm not around often, so.

They have always limited Tennogen to models that are reliable and have been in the game for a while. The first responder may have not kept up to date with what is currently accepted.

I personally want to see a version of the dragon nikana sheathe that would be one of the glass themed ones. And given this gara skin I hope the creator will be interested or looking at this as a future possibility.

I would suggest you check out tennogen forums on the DE main site they update their lists whenever they add more allowed skins as well as update the template libraries though I havent checked how far those have come since I tried unsucessfully to work on a couple pieces of my own.

You were obviously around when they just started tennogen because for weapons thats the original set i believe but given my luck with trolls in this games forums here and on main site ill leave it at your just misinformed atm.

Hyronsoul is right, nikanas are now able to gain tennogen skins
