As usual I love your rendering and seeing your process is very helpful!
I would suggest looking at some reference for sword poses though. I know this one is a bit of a katana-ish type, you can find lots of stuff on how to handle those on YT for instance. This elf holds it like a baseball bat, the pose is a bit awkward I'd say. The hilts were so long that you could hold it with hands apart, one on the pommel - to have more leverage for better control.
Maybe take a look at these short videos of European longswords - the use would be quite appropriate:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPfLZFHcNv4 - a very good short video showing the dynamism of a sword use. (with very accurate techniques)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtNZQBc4RpE - this or any other ARMA video, very accurate way of handling swords, they often explain the techniques and specific styles.
