Description Pair of bracers made to fit the role of a human wanderer/ranger on some future larps. The background of these are that the person who are to wear them carries heritae from two different cultures, being born in one and owe legiance to the other.

The idea is for them being made by the wearer himself and therefor being made in the same materials and style, only the engravings and cultural influenses vary, one carrying the sword and banner, and the other carrying the heart and crown.


The only real effort in these were to make them look reallisticly used and worn. Still have some work to do on the left one

Great work. Can't wait to look at the rest of your gallery. I like the idea of an asymmetrical patterning while still keeping the overall symmetry of the basic design. A nice way to show the dual allegiances.

Not really=/ I never took any classes, just bougt some leather and started with basic bracers and took it from there. Only tip I can give you is don't START with something advanced. I mean, maybe you are ucky to get the look you want, but belive me, its just a waste of money and it throw you into a level one does not have the rutines or skills for Seen it before I'm affraid=/

So Go ot, buy CHEAP leather and start doing like, bracers, wristbands etc

Well these ones are made in a extremely rare leather I bought at a medieval fair a couple of years ago so to make bracers like these in the exact same materials would problematic I do sell simular ones in ordinairy leather though

I wanted somehing more simple (and cheap, espeacialy because i would have to get it shipped to brazil, wich its expensive.) Maybe with a fake leather or something... And it doesn't need to be all detailed with drawings and stuff.

I like the shape of this one, but i tought of something that goes a little more close to the elbow. (im terrible explainng in english) Im not just looking to the picture, but this ones looks like they are short in the arm.

Maybe i could try drawing something, then show you. Do you have any idea of much it would be, or only while producing you have the idea of the price?

Those are beautiful, very intricate design on them. Have you considered a tutorial for that at all? Aspiring leatherworker asking.

Man, I have so much trouble making gauntlets. Mostly because I use platic and resin.

These are really nice though.
