As this year’s Spooktober final “coup de grâce”, I present you my version of Emily from Tim Burtons classic stop-motion movie “Corpse Bride”.
****************
This papercraft is unfolded to 30 cm (about 25 cm for Emily alone without the stand) and has 17 pages to print (2 of which are double-sided prints for the inner side of the hair and the thorns, to make it look really nice). It consists of a 3D model of Emily, her 3D bouquet with 2D blue roses, a 3D stand for her, a half 3D half 2D tree, and a lot of 2D add-ons.
The smaller parts would be the high heels and the roses. The roses in the bouquet and in her veil on her head are each made out of 3 2D pieces, so you glue the parts together for 1 rose flower, so they are easy to make, just more time-consuming.
Since her overall design is quite complex to make into a papercraft, the thinner bone hands and feet are made with a simpler design, so they are not as accurate as in the cartoon, but are therefore easier to make and still look nice.
The hands are 2D, since her left arm is bones only, and it is easier to assemble that way. The hair is also mostly made out of 2D stripes, so you can additionally curl-up the paper to make it nice and wavy :)
********************************
I really love each and every movie of Tim Burton, even the ones he just works alongside with or is in collaboration in, since he has such a special esthetic that is simply horridly whimsical and filled with spooky wonder.
So I wanted to give this “lesser” known cartoon some justice and really worked hard on this little cutie :D It may not look 100% as in the stop-motion movie, but that wasn’t my plan to begin with anyway, I just wanted to do it justice and make her in a way my own papercraft work shines through.
