How can I draw a twisted 3D arrow?

Question

Does anyone know how I can draw an 3D arrow that in itself is twisted by 90 degrees? I need such arrow to show how polarized light is twisted in a liquid crystal.

I would like to include that arrow in my tikz graphic.

EDIT: This is sort of what I want my arrow to look like. The tip and end of the arrow have to be perpendicular.

Just playing around without really knowing what I am doing...

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\filldraw[fill=orange,line width=1pt] (0,0) -- (1,1) -- (1.05,.7) -- 
  (7.5,0) -- (1.3,-.7) -- (1.35,-1) -- cycle;
\filldraw[fill=orange,line width=1pt] (12.1,-.7) -- (11.85,.7) --
  (4.7,.4) -- cycle;
\filldraw[fill=orange!50,line width=1pt] (0.025,0.045) -- (.1,.3) -- (1.08,1.3) -- 
  (1,1.0) -- cycle;
\filldraw[fill=orange!50,line width=1pt] (1.1,1.3) -- (1,1) -- 
  (1.05,.72) -- (1.15,1) -- cycle;
\filldraw[fill=orange!50,line width=1pt] (1.05,.7) -- (1.15,1) -- 
   (12.1,-.7) -- (12,-1.) -- cycle;
\filldraw[fill=orange!50,line width=1pt] (1.3,-.7) -- (1.36,-.98) -- 
  (1.45,-.7) -- cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
