And now it’s time to give you some pro-tips on how to make life simpler when building her yourself. Let’s go.

**********************************************************

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the hair, the 2 arms, the upper torso with the white dress, the butt with the legs and the shoes, the pointy hat and the cape.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair, and lastly close it with the back hair. After this, you can glue on the 2D ears and the optional head lid (which I didn't use in the preview pics btw.).

Next, you can separately build the 2 arms, with either the 2D or 3D hands (*Note that I did the preview pics with the 2D version of the hands). When you got those, set them aside and start gluing together the upper torso. When you have the upper torso, glue the sleeves inside the holes where the arms go and make the rest of the dress.

Set this aside again and make the butt with the legs and shoes. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top and finish with the buttocks part. This means, build the shoes first, glue the leg from there upwards till you come to the butt. If you want her to stand nicely, *pro tip: best put some weights inside the legs before gluing it together (I always use small pebbles I throw inside the legs before I close the whole craft).

What you do now is glue together these parts with the flaps that are left on the belt part of the buttocks. Glue those inside the dress, making sure to glue them at the right angle, so the figure can stand comfortably.

Now that you have the base Coco papercraft, you can also make the hat and cape on it. If you want to glue the cape on, leave the head with the neck part for the end, and only assemble together the torso with the arms and dress, and then the legs. When you have the body, glue on the pre-made cape on her shoulders with glue inside the shoulders and press it down. Once the cape is glued on, press and rotate the neck inside the cape neck part with glue on the flaps, at the right angle and let it dry. The flaps won’t be visible from the inside of the cape and it’s easiest that way. At the end, you can add on the pointy hat and glue it on to finish it.

*Note: The papercraft preview is made with 2D hands. The files for printing-out have both the 2D and 3D hand versions, so you can choose which ones to make.

Coco (Tongari Boushi no Atelier) papercraft

Coco (Tongari Boushi no Atelier) papercraft

Finally!! FINALLY! It is here! The long-awaited manga masterpiece made into an anime: “ Tongari Boushi no Atelier” or translated into “Witch Hat Atelier”.

Whoever read it already knows the core feature of this manga are the amazing and gorgeous illustrations, alongside a really unique and interesting story and fresh characters, of course. And the anime absolutely delivers this! I am in love with it so far and I had to make our main protagonist into a papercraft as well and do it justice!

***********

The papercraft is unfolded to 21 cm and has 4 pages to print (1 of them being a double-sided print). It consists of a 3D model of Coco, with all of her clothing add-ons.

The papercraft is made out of a 3D model of Coco, a separate 2D hat and coat (with a double-sided print page so the inner side of the coat is also colored and not white) and optional 2D or 3D hands.

The white under-dress is all modeled, so you can make her with the white dress only, or the optionally add her coat and hat on. *Pro tip for assembly: The coat fits on her shoulders directly, so just put a dollop of glue on the inner sides of the shoulders of the coat and fixate it to the main body to make it hold.

Atelier Ryza built papercraft

Atelier Ryza built papercraft

It’s now been 2 years since I released one of my favorite and most detalied premium papercrafts I have done since the beginning. That was “Ryza” from the game “Atelier Ryza”, of which I love all the Atelier games!

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Atelier-Ryza-Reisalin-Stout-papercraft-855499324

         

I am crazy for them XD And since the Atelier Sophie 2 game came out this year as well, I felt a bit nostalgic and decided to finally make my Ryza Stout papercraft and here it is :)

  

The papercraft is a typical humanoid craft, so best to start with the face. Once you have the face and neck, make the front hair bangs and then close with the cap top. Then you can make the yellow jacket separate, while leaving one of the shoulders open to be able to slide it on at the end. That way is the easiest. The wand can also be made separately.

Once you have those, assemble the hands and arms and make the accessories for the arms to put them on. Attach and glue the hands on the first half of the torso you make, and then you can glue the pre-made head on, and you can even extra reinforce it from the inside by putting rolled-up waste paper from the cut-out inside, so it doesn’t break. After it’s all neatly dried, build the remaining part of the blouse and you can glue the jacket on at that point and glue it on there. It should stand on without any additional gluing on btw.

All that is left to do is to make the legs. Start with the shoes and built it slowly up to the stomach. At this point you can fill out the feet with extra weights to make it more sturdier standing up (though it is able to stand without extra weights inside). And if you are happy with those, glue the remaining flaps from the stomach on the upper torso with the arms and head you done before, and finito :)

Make sure when you glue together the legs and torso that it’s glued on at the right angle, so it is able to stand on both feet. That’s all the “magic” there is to it. Everything else is, as always, written and seen in the 3D preview of the PDO assembly when you purchase the template, so it’s all self-explanatory.

*Note that the hair strains on both sides of the face has a 2-sided texture in the PDO you get when you buy the template, so that part where it’s white on my preview is actually hair-colored. I forgot to print it 2-sided when I made it XD Yes, even "pros" get stuff wrong some times as well. We are all human, stuff happens :P

I hope you like my Ryza and that you give these Atelier games a chance and try them out. I really fell in love once I tried just 1 of them, and you got at least 7 different versions of the game, each with own gimmicks and main characters and story.

Enjoy till the next release and happy crafting~

Atelier Ryza (Reisalin Stout) papercraft

Atelier Ryza (Reisalin Stout) papercraft

Finally, after weeks of waiting for this to be uploaded so you can all see it in its most awesome glory, I am finally able to show you my most prized papercraft possession yet, “Reisalin "Ryza" Stout” from the awesome game series Atelier, more precisely “Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout” AND the continuation of the game, which will be released this December “Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy”!!!

(If you haven’t tried out the game yet, TRY IT NOW, it’s really something else and I love how special it is and how each of the characters is lovable in their own way! And the skins and the specials and the quests and the game mechanics etc. etc. etc.)

I have found out about papercraft about +10 years ago and started by assembling existing ones at first. After a while of getting used to building them, I decided to start designing and modeling them myself, and the rest is history. In my more than 5 years of professionally dealing and handling papercrafts, I have made some papercrafts that are most precious to me and on which I have spent days upon days of work to finalize them. My top 3 of them are:

    1.       https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Super-Sailor-Moon-built-papercraft-770504062

    2.       https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Hatsune-Miku-Snow-Princess-2019-papercraft-830987244

    3.       https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Cardcaptor-Sakura-Clear-card-papercraft-756221918

But this has now all changed, thanks to this work of art I made, Atelier Ryza. She is THE BEST papercraft I have made to date and countless hours of work have been spent on making it look the way it does. All worth it.

The TEXTURES ARE ALL 100% MINE, HAND PAINTED AND MADE TO FIT THE UV-MAPS I again made myself. 100% painted and made to resemble the exact Ryza character in the game. Probably 99% accurate. And a whooping 7 different UV-maps to make the 7 different textures, so I could fit in all the details. Painted in hours of work in my Gimp program and on my PC drawing pad. And let me tell you there is nothing easy to fit such lush textures on a very low-polyed and downsizes papercraft surface like this. Model and pose and staff, of course, also 100% mine.

         

The textures are undeniable the most crisp I have ever conjured up myself and a step up the ladder of my drawing/modeling/papercrafting skills I have refined time and time again during all my business times. So, I am a step further in my confidence on how to make papercrafts look amazing and I am very proud of my work.

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 40 cm tall (12 pages of templates), since I wanted her really to stand out and be the amazing eyecatcher in the room it deserves to be when assembled.

It is made out of a 3D model of Ryza, that stands on her 2 feet (did a physics test, she stands 100%), with some extra separate add ons you make and glue on like that, such as:

    - Her 3D round flasks on the left side of her waist,
    - Her 2 2D belts with her petri dishes and small details on it,
  - Her 3D flash on her right leg with a 2D holster,
  - Her 3D bag on her left leg with a 2D belt to hold it in place,
    - A 2D necklace around her neck,

- Her 2D 2-sided tie on her hat,

- And of course, the 3D staff with some 2D 2-sided features to make its assembly really simple.

Everything else, the hat, the hair, her detailed sleeves hanging down her arms, etc., are attached to the main 3D body and are assembled when making Ryza. All in all she has many small add-ons, which I think make the assembly super fun (since it’s like a kind of a dress-up game in some way to me XD ), and the main body is as simple as can be to make, apart from the smaller 3D fingers on her hands – again she is unfolded to 40 cm height with the staff, so the “small” parts are super manageable and for a humanoid papercraft very easy to make, since I made sure of that when putting the papercraft together.

In the future I will make sure to post more of these detailed papercrafts, as far as my time allows it, so you can enjoy the new quality of papercrafts I will make. It’s so rewarding at the end ;_; I love her SO MUCH. I can’t wait to assemble this baby when I got time!!!
