Description
Elven warrior from czech larp Lord of the Rings - Battle for Middle-EarthMore photos here: [link]
Tutorial how to make helmet (just in czech) : [link]
EDIT: Wow, my first DD! I can't describe how happy I am :-D
So much thanks to the larper on photo - ~Turiel-Eressiel and my brother ([link] ) for helping me with photoshop - without him the photo would be just awesome, not f***ing awesome
FAQ (from Turiel): It's made of leather, wool (in case of the sash there is 2% of lurex) and cotton (double-sleeved tunic). It's a final version of my elven costume for larping, however I haven't done it as planned for lack of time. There should be more complex chest armor not only shoulders (they were only one-night shot). Anyway it costed me many sleepless nights.

Quick question, is her hand not in the left glove? I see that the pinkie finger doesn't seem to have a finger in it.Β

Very beautiful. The front part and cheek guards of this helm sort of resemble one I've come up with for an illustration of Feanor having returned to Middle-earth. I like very much indeed

I've seen this photo before and always thought it was both a wonderful photo and a great costume. Β Very well done.

Interesting, it looks very dragonish. And like a lot of work. Also the photo itself looks nice with the bokeh and the sharp focus on the elf.

Impressive. Looks almost like fire nation armor

This is bloody amazing! The details are amazing. I plan to go to B5A this year, so I'm looking for all sorts of armor tutorials, but I found that the leather armor can go into thousands. How much did it cost (not counting the work done, just the material)?

Hi, maybe you will be surprised, but material isn't actually expensive, if you know where to buy it. Rough estimate can be:
2-3mm cowhide ca. 2and1/2 pieces of "sidestripe" about 500CZK (25$) - helmet, plaudrons, bracers, belts, scabbard
ca. 5x500ml bottle of a stain (3 coulours) 275CZK (14$)
soft cloting leather (remaining peaces) - price is counted per kilograms - I can't remember exactly but not more then 300CZK (15$) - corset, trousers, stripes for hems
linen thread for stitching cca 135CZK (7$) (most of spool is left)
woollen military blanket 150CZK (8$) - top and skirt
cotton cloth ca. 2,5m about 250CZK (12,5$) now - double-sleeve shirt
woollen cloth for sash about 180CZK (9$)
buckles about 90CZK (4,5$)
golden thread about 20CZK (1$)
other material (petroleum, beeswax, vaseline) about 80CZK (4$) for used amount
In total it is about 1710CZK (85,5$) ... even if I'd forgot something to count, it wouldn't be more then 2000CZK (100$) ... except of highboots (discarded from my casuals) and gloves (given by employer)
I'm sorry for the length of my comment, but I think it could be quite intresting that costume like that may not be really expensive.

Between you and the female token elf in my own larp group, I don't know who has the most awesome leather armor... o_o It's a tough-y.

this is incredibly amazing, especially the helmet! great work, I know how much a costume can cost you and this one really shows the work that has been put in it!

That's spectacular. It really reminds me of something a First Age Elf would wear, perhaps in one of the many Battles of Beleriand.
