It's done... It's actually done... Helmet, Curias, Shoulders, Gauntlets and now the Greaves it's all done. My transmog is finished! Well at least the bare minium stuff to walk around a convention anyways. I still need to do a lot of work on the arming pants and the doublet to make it comfortable to ware, still need to do the sword, still considering sabatons and chinstrap or armpit voiders but THE bare minimum full armor is there.

Greaves Ester

Age 25

He/him Male

Friends: Kamu (partner), Lucius

Greaves is the general of the Wildland Army and King Lucius’ closest ally. Greaves was born and raised in the Desert District with his mother, Dove Ester, and father, Jay Ester. Greaves’ family lived a secluded life in the Desert where Greaves had no formal access to schooling. Greaves devoted most of his childhood and teen years protecting his younger siblings, Mieka and Lenna. 

When Greaves was a teen, his parents became progressively more abusive. Jay and Dove gradually stopped returning home, and eventually burned down the family home, killing Lena, Mieka, and Greaves. Somehow, Greaves woke up in the charred remains of his home as a Specter. Unsure how he survived and not knowing where to go, Greaves wandered the Desert District until he was captured by Wildland soldiers where he met Prince Lucius II and slowly befriended him. 

While at the Wildlands Castle, Greaves suffered through heavy depression and found himself coping by doing work at the castle, eventually becoming the Wildland Army General. As time passed, Greaves started to work with Lucius and Guardian Relic in researching the Whistold Prophecy. While Lucius researched the Prophecy, Greaves left the castle and the Wildland Army now refers to him as an exile.

Extra Notes: 

Greaves’ third eye on his forehead is somewhat sensitive so he tends to cover it with a blindfold. 

When Greaves woke up after the fire, he had a lantern at his side with no visible damage. The lantern houses spirits that Greaves encounters, starting with one of his younger sisters.

Greaves typically stays in his inverted wolf form, even around Wildland Castle, due to his large size. He doesn’t like the feeling of looking down on everyone.

Greaves has a tendency to burn his hands, but his fur grows back fairly quickly. He usually wears gloves to hide his hands and avoid questions about the scarring. Despite the fur growing back quickly, his hands are still rough and scarred even when the fur isn't burned off.

Due to the fire that killed him as a teen, Greaves is somewhat hard of hearing and has a poor sense of smell, though he’s gotten used to it and never mentions it, so most people don’t realize.

The paladin is a noble warrior. His blessed armor protects him from harm, and his holy vows help him resist the temptations of sin. Those who receive his aid in battle are assured of victory, but those who meet him afterwards consider themselves the truly lucky.

I made this suit of armor for the Magic Meat March challenge (delayed to May this year), which is about putting men into the sorts of costumes that fantasy women get drawn in. Check out other people’s stuff over @magicmeatmarch​!

In place of a standard breastplate, this one is built in the form of a corset, providing protection and support while shaping and accentuating your profile. The pauldrons connect to the codpiece with a harness arrangement of straps, tying them together into one cohesive piece, supporting the necessaries and accentuating the assets. The greaves stand on their own.

I made everything by hand--cut, burnished, tooled, shaped, dyed, painted, sealed, and riveted together. The corset-breastplate and codpiece I designed from scratch--you can see a progression of the corset design here. The pauldrons (shoulders) and greaves (shins) I built from patterns by Prince Armory, partly because of time constraints, and partly because I wanted to see how other designers dealt with those pieces. (The greaves I was really impressed by, the pauldrons restrict movement more than I’d like, which was a problem I hadn’t been able to solve previously either.)

This is the most ambitious armor project I’ve tackled so far, both in scope and design, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out! I’m looking forward to making a few more pieces to go with this set in the coming months.
