So, on a whim this morning, I started to make a bracer from scratch. No plans, blueprints, or pictures to go off of. This is what I have so far. The elbow peice is un-hardened leather, allowing for flexing upon impact. The rest is water hardened and shaped. The ends, both wrist and elbow, are rolled for comfort and looks. The look is supposed to resemble the gray color of my skin in character, and the elbow peice appears to be a bone spike protruding from my arm. The gray fades into a black to distinguish the bracer from my arm, for comabt ease. That way people can see where I end and the armor begins. These are the best pictures I can get just yet, due to lack of a decent camera. But, Bojac is supposed to take better shots once it is done. I still need to put the straps on it and finish the underside.

It looks good, and I like the idea of differentiating the bracer and your skin since you wear paint.

Very nice. I was interested in the type of leather you used.

Very nice. I was interested in the type of leather you used. Just basic 14oz hide. Some scraps we had left. Nothing fancy.
