Orc Brute Greaves

The little ones would often find their way to the sharper pieces of flint. Unlike human spawnlings which would often cut themselves, the more brutal young of the Orcs would instinctively know to hack the bone.

Greaves became common apparel for Orcish mothers soon after.

It wasn't so much a case of modesty, but rather the need for psychological warfare that the Orcs had recently discovered.

To have buttocks hidden, thereby making it  conscious decision to expose them, made it extra insulting to the enemy. 

The Italian company Fucina del Drago is famous for its beautiful leather products. They only use high quality leather and materials. 

A travelled adventurer shows class by wearing these greaves - just as a noble lady would.  

The elegant greaves from the Lancelot set made from two leather pieces riveted onto each other. The elaborate embossing show the Fleur de Lys and wave-like patterns - almost maritime ornaments in wide banded straps. The greaves are closed with two buckle-straps in the back. Perfectly suitable for knights, wealthy nobles, or even mariners. 

Round (table) it all out with the complete matching set.

You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.

Our work briefly translates into this: starting from an idea, a sketch, a story and transforming those smoky lines into an object that can be used in the context (whether strictly historical or fantasy) for which it was designed.

Design therefore, at the base of each project, modulated on the budget of each client.

Realization, with a particular attention to detail and real use (not only display but rather mainly products made to be worn, used, lived).

Assistance, so that everything that has already been created does not suffer the damage of time or the wear and tear of years of use.

Black Dragon is our brand for the design and construction of weapons, armor and props oriented to LARP, Cosplay and film productions.

These are articles made of materials such as plastazote, evazote, resins and the like, used to give shape and substance to the wildest dreams of every designer or to reproduce objects not otherwise available because of fantasy.

It was born from the meeting between the Fucina del Drago and Black Forge, an artisan workshop that has been active for years in the LARP and Cosplay sector at national and international level which, in February 2020, joined forces in the common goal of expanding their work and their skills to offer them on a wider market also linked to film productions.

From this collaboration, projects related to TV series have been born that have benefited from years of experience and tests on materials, at the same time highlighting on the one hand the absolute reachable realism and on the other the possibility of truly shaping the imagination to give shape to things otherwise unattainable.

From the feedback obtained, the push that led us to strongly believe in this new project was born to the point of creating a brand dedicated only to this type of product.

A fundamental component of our work remains attentive listening to the customer and continuous contact in order to be certain not only of the achievement of the final result, but also and above all of full satisfaction: from this point of view it makes no difference that you are a live role player, a cosplayer or a film production company, we will still be able to accompany you from the preparatory sketch to the finished product in order to give you the most precise possible idea of ​​what we are making for you.

War is all that you know. For your clan, war is a permanent state of being. Just as you need meat to sustain you and leather armour to protect your leathery green skin, war keeps your thirst for chaos and violence sated.

Your clan now gathers to prepare for the war against the goblins. The creatures used to be your allies, but in the last battle they became cowardly and ran. Now there is nothing more to be done than to hunt down every one of them and serve them over your fire.

DETAILS

Epic Effects’ Green Orc Brute with Hair is a full Orc Mask with a tribal appearance, perfect for the clan’s hunter. The mask has an orc’s distinct features, including: a low, broad forehead, serrated pointy ears and a flat nose with large, triangular nostrils to give it a predatory look. The broad mouth juts out in an underbite with visible bottom teeth and tusks. Heavy dreadlocks hang down over leathery skin modeled with creases and a realistic handpainted dark green complexion.

The mask fits over your face and chin, moving with your natural jaw movement. The mask is made from thick 100% natural high-quality latex, making it strong and durable, ensuring long life and extended reuse. The mask is made with good room for breathing and ventilation, and is fitted with an elastic cotton-weave band at the neck to keep the mask in place, improving comfort with extended wear. The look and style of the mask can be modified by highlighting it with Epic Effects' Water Based Makeup from event to event.

INSPIRATION

• Earliest references to orcs are found in Old English and Anglo-Saxon sources, such as in Beowulf and in 16th century Italian folktales
• The word itself stems from the Latin word Orcus, which was the name given to the Roman deity of the dead
• J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century The Lord of the Rings series describes orcs as brutish, aggressive beings with a taste for human flesh
• Tolkien’s writings influenced many role-playing games, and are now seen in such games as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and Warcraft
