Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) papercraft

 Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist) papercraft

Sharing another commission today, so here it is. Since I already did the Alphonse in his armor life-size papercraft..:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Alphonse-Armor-Fullmetal-Alchemist-papercraft-813686244

...I had to do the other half, his brother Edward Elric as well.

This is yet another life-size papercraft for the commissioner of Edward, which is amazingly unfolded to 165 cm. And the shock of it all, YES, he is actually 165 cm tall in the series. WTF! I mean, all the time they nag him and tell him he is small and gets called “chibiko” all the time, YET, he is the same height as ME! What the hell is this! XD 165cm is not small people! Just to tell you now out of the bat…. =_= ちび子て言うな!!!!! :D

The papercraft itself is basically what you see. A whole joined papercraft body, and with a 1-sided cape, since the commissioner wanted it like that because it’s too much trouble to make 2-sided, so he will just paint it over when it’s done. And I do agree when we are talking about life-size crafts, since they are a LOT of work to do anyway.

He has all the parts and the pose from the reference figurine you see, since the commissioner wanted to make it the same pose, since it’s a nice dynamic one and the craft will be able to stand that way and won’t tip over.

I hope you like it, I am sure the commissioner will share the pictures once it is done at the end of the year, so stay tuned for those amazing pictures and happy crafting till then~

Copperajah (Pokemon Sw/Sh) papercraft commission

Copperajah (Pokemon Sw/Sh) papercraft commission

Sharing another overdue papercraft commission from the new Pokemon Sword & Shield collection. This time it's Copperajah in all its glory.

 

The commissioner wanted a special dynamic pose, so that's what he/she got! I think it's a very natural pose for the Pokemon, swinging its trunk around and ready to use it ;)

The whole thing is about 44 cm tall, so it's quite big and so it has no really small fiddly parts to work with. It has 11 pages to print, and of course it also comes with the shiny version of it, as you can also see in the screenshots.

All in all, I think it's a very natural and quite fun pose and the Pokemon should look nice when built. If I get the pictures of it, I will definitely share them on here.

Till then happy crafting~

Celestial Owl (original character) papercraft

Celestial Owl (original character) papercraft

Showing another one of my projects, that is maybe from the concept a bit different. Why? Because this one was actually made as an idea I took from another Deviation.

This is a plush that I found while browsing online, and I immediately fell on love with it. But, since I can’t make plushies and I can’t even hold a sowing needle in my fingers, I though of transforming this celestial owl idea into my own style, and this is what I came up with.

This is my original character “Celestial Owl” I made up myself (with the starting idea of the plush) and turned into a papercraft. The craft is 20 cm tall and has 7 pages to print. It is a rather simple craft that I tried to make, a lot of 2-sided flat pieces you just put on as decoration, but with very effective textures that makes it look very elegant. It is essentially a 3D owl, with a 2-sided cape, a hoodie with a 2D crown, his 2D 2-sided wings that you just glue on the cape (for extra effect you add in wide between the 2 wings and you make it articulate and stand that way, so trust me, got to use wire with the wings), and a long 2D 2-sided cape at the back that adds that extra touch of elegance.

The textures are actually very dear to me, because the intricate design I used with the gold colors are so called “mantras” I have been probably drawing op paper since I was 12. It’s my take on Japanese mantra designs and old kanji that I love so much, and that I made into my style for everything I do in real life really. So, I decided to also put the design into my digital 3D work of arts as well, to give it my special kind of touch.

I think you can get the basic idea of how it looks and how easy it is to make by the screenshots of the papercraft itself, and I hope you like the small designs I put into it. There are always some things that inspire me to do something, and this time it was an owl plush that I think it super adorable :) and that made me design a new character I wanted to make out of it.

Shuichi Kagaya (Gleipnir) built papercraft

Shuichi Kagaya (Gleipnir) built papercraft

Decided to assemble another one of my papercraft collection, so this time I am sowing you "Shuichi" from the anime "Gleipnir" in monster form.

The whole dog mascot is about 30 cm tall, so it’s actually pretty easy to put together. There are actually no small pieces on this one, the only fiddly parts are the 2D stitches you can glue on like that or you can leave them out, other than that it’s very relaxing and easy-breezy to make.

I started with the head and made my way down to the feet. First, I made the ears and put together the remaining parts of the head, then I made the separate arms and attached those on the head and made my way down. At the end, when you also made the tail part and glued in on first, you have 2 legs remaining to be made, you make one normally and then close the whole thing at the bottom paw of one leg, and there you go.

All that is left is to put on the 2D straps and star, you can also add the simple 3D gun holster (which you can glue on the leg or just jam in between the leg and arm and it holds perfectly as you can see from the pictures above), and the Furry Gleipnir mascot is finished XD

For more info on the unfold and some more details, you can look it up here:

Hope you like it and happy crafting~

Emilia (Re Zero) papercraft

Emilia (Re Zero) papercraft

Since I missed the opportunity to make a Emilia papercraft in the last season, I definitely wanted to make the template for her papercraft now. So, here you go, my own version of »Emilia«, the main female protagonist from the anime »Re:Zero«. A noble half-elf of a rich family of nobles and one candidate for the throne, but for more info you better watch the anime ;)

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 26 cm, which is a good size for a humanoid papercraft as far as my experience goes and has 7 pages to print as you can see from the screenshot. The whole look of her is quite simple, since she is mostly white with some highlights of different shades of purple, so the texturing didn’t take as long as it mostly does.

 
She is an average difficulty to put together (if you put together some humanoid papercraft then you know the tricky parts are always the fingers and hands etc.). Other than that, because she has 3 underskirts and a coat above that, it can actually be build in 2 parts, upper part being the head, hair, coat (which is 2-sided) and her first 2 frilly skirts, and the second part being her lags and the last underskirt of her. Then you put the craft together at the middle where the 3 skirts meet, since that flaps and line will not be visible at the end, so it’s an ideal point to join, and there you go. The hair is also open at one part, so it’s relatively easy to put together the head part as well (since I designed the hear and hair with all my humanoid papercrafts that way, so it’s simple to put together). Else, she has a lot of smaller 2D add-ons so those are just glued on to make it as easy as it can be. Also, since she has frills on her sleeves, that is going to take the most time assembling probably, since you have to bend the frills to put them on, so they actually look like frills. But I did put together such a piece already, for instance with my “Snow Miku Princess papercraft” or “Ultimate Madoka papercraft”, and it’s not as hard as it looks at first, so no panic there, it’s all do-able :)

   
I hope you like the little cutie, since a lot of people were writing me about making this Re:Zero papercraft already, that’s why I decided to finally make it. And because I know it’s a popular thing and I happen to have 1 credit left for this month, you can also view her in a 3D preview, so you can see her in all the beauty and cuteness as well. Here is the 3D preview of the papercraft template on how it looks assembled:

Earth-chan (Earth chibi) build papercraft

Earth-chan (Earth chibi) build papercraft

Time for another one of my designs put to the test and assembled by me. And what else could it be than one of my fav chibis I made, my take on the popular “Earth-chan”.

 

Yes, this papercraft is FREE to download on my page, so you can scroll down for the download link or you can read this part and maybe find some tips on how to assemble her and make your life easy that way XD

The craft is about 20cm tall, so she is a comfortable height to make parts easy, even if some of them are smaller. I started, as always, with assembling her head, from top to neck part. But actually, this time I closed the head on the top part, since it’s easier this way AND the top part will not be visible at the end, because you glue the hair piece on that.

When I made the head, I also made the hair part. Now I noticed that the hair part when build separately is quite wide and since you don’t actually glue it on any flaps and only on the top of the head, it has no reference points of how to put it in the right form. So what I did is that I put the assembled hair part between 2 glasses and gently pressed then together, to make the hair piece slimmer and more head-shaped. This way, the face and the hair at the end when glued together, will look nice and slimming and add to the chibi charm of the papercraft, like it is shown in the reference pictures of the template. If you don’t let the hair squish you might not get the ideal shape of the hair to fit perfectly on the head, but you can also leave this part out if you are happy with how it looks. Depends on what you want it to look like really, so just sharing my experience with it.

Now that we have the head and hair, I made the fiddliest part of the assembly, which are the fingers and hands. She has 1 finger on each hand and a joined palm, so those might be a bit fiddly to make, but not super hard really. If you made humanoid crafts before, you’ll build it in no time. After the hands come the arms and then the whole torso part + the 2-sided skirt.

Note: At this stage you will want to glue the “collar” part of the school uniform into the neck, if you want to glue it with self-made flaps inside the neck. If not, you can glue this part at the very end of the assembly, if you are okay with it being a bit loose around the neck.

When you have the upper part of the body + skirt, and the head, you glue that together in the neck part with the flaps and make it nice and sturdy (you can additionally fill out the neck with paper rolls or reinforce it with tape, just to be on the safe side) so the rather small neck won’t reform because of the head weight. I didn’t do it myself, since I found it rather sturdy and I am always careful when assembling small parts together, but you never know ;)

All that is left now is to make the separate leg part. I did that by assembling the shoes first and building it part by part till the pants, since at the top of the pants is open and you can help yourself with the open hole like that better than you would do from top to bottom.

Now simply put glue on the flaps of the pants and adjust and glue it on the upper body and head part that you did earlier. All that is left is to glue the hair on the head (and glue the collar on the actual model to fit if you already didn’t), and there you go, chibi Earth-chan is finished.

As you can see she also has some add-on posters that you can choose from for her to hold in her hands. Mine actually worked without me having to glue in inside her hands, but you can also glue it on if you wish. Another tip to make the hands so close together is again the tip with the 2 glasses. Simply put the body part with her hands between 2 glasses and let it bend together a bit for a few hours, and the arms are as close as you want them to be, without deforming the arms in any way. Just be careful on how close you put the glasses together.

There you go, your own customizable Earth-chan that you can make with 4 different expressions for yourself. If you want to give it a go, here is the template that you can download for FREE here:

Spirit of lost time (Dragon Quest) built papercraft

Spirit of lost time (Dragon Quest) built papercraft

Another one of my papercrafts I decided to build, this time it's the »Spirit of lost time« from the new remake game of Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age.

The papercraft is about 14cm tall, so I think it’s a really nice height to build it, not too small and not too big. I started this by first making the 2 long tentacle-like arms on both sides, since those are maybe a bit fiddly to make, but because it’s such a height you can put your finger in the middle of the pieces and you can glue it together very nicely like that.

After I got the arms, I started to make it from top to bottom, which is my usual pattern to assemble, because I also place the flaps of the template in such a way so it’s easy that way. When getting to the arm parts, I attached the arms on the head and shoulder part, and built it till the beginning of the legs.

The second fiddly part are the legs, since they are a bit thinner than then arms and you have to close it there as well. Since I leave the legs for last, I build them to the toes and glue every part, one by one, on the body, till only the bottom part of the foot remains, the sole. Those are just then glued on as the last step to close the papercraft without any work at all, and there you go, papercraft finished :)

I think it’s not such a difficult papercraft than most of my other designs, since it has no really small parts to glue together, and it’s easy to close at the end. It probably took me half a day to finish it, depending on how skilled and fast you are yourself, of course.

I really loved the remake of the Dragon Quest game and still do. These cute little being have captured my attention since the beginning of the game where the protagonist first sees them and has no idea what they are. I find their smooth design and glowy-like appearance very appealing and I had to make this cutie for myself at any rate XD

 

I hope you like the cutie, you can find the template and all the info on how to get it here:

Bananya (Bananya) FREE papercraft

Bananya (Bananya) built papercraft

Wanted to share one of my older papercrafts with you, that is already available for FREE download in my gallery for a long time, and actually take the time to build it. It is a design from 2016 I made, but since nobody shares actual build papercraft pictures (or very, very few), I decided to make it myself, since it's quite fast to make, so here it is.

 

The papercraft has only 3 pages to print, since it’s quite small and easy. I made the cat body first, starting with the ears and all around the head, then making the small paws one by one and attaching them to the body. After that, I made the 5 banana peels one by one, attaching them to the body, and lastly closing the banana end with the stem. The Bananya papercraft is build, so all that was left is the stand (that is optional), since it doesn’t stand on its own and I didn’t want to hang the guy on a string.

The stand is quite easy as well really. I started to build it from the hole outwards, since it’s the easiest, and then you just close it at the bottom. If you do it all correctly, and you don’t even need to be that accurate with this one since the angle will do the trick itself, you have yourself a stand, where the stem of the banana end fits inside and holds the cat in place. Nice and easy. And you don’t need to reinforce it at all, since again the angle is just enough to make it stand perfectly without tipping over even if you don’t have weights in the stand part.

I think it took me about 4 hours to make it, including cutting out all the pieces, so it should be a very fast built for those who are used to the tricks of gluing paper together- BUT the 5 banana peels can be quite frustrating to put together, since they are so thin, so take your time when gluing them together, and when in doubt just pre-fold the peel parts to be sure where to glue it together to fit perfectly.

I have made the basic main white Bananya character, but I have made all 7 of the main Bananya anime characters, which are basically build and look the same as this one. You can download all of the 7 different designs here:

Gigantamax Blastoise (Sw/Sh) papercraft commission

Gigantamax Blastoise (Sw/Sh) papercraft commission

Presenting a new Gigantamax Pokemon I have made for a commission, the »Gigantamax Blastoise«! Just so you know what an awesome thing this is, and, of course, that I have all the expansion pack Pokemon already ripped and ready for anybody who would want to commission them anytime.

This papercraft is huge! It's 42 cm tall and has a whopping 39 pages to print. Why? Well because it's the real deal, with all included canons, add-ons for the shell, etc. etc., and the originally designed Gigantamax Blastoise comes with all sorts of things and it has to have all of them on. Of course, as you can see, it also includes the shiny texture version, although I think the shiny version is really crappier compared to the original… but, whatever the case, both can be made according to preferences.

The commissioner wanted it to be the real deal, with all details and parts, so that’s what I did. And he/she wanted it to be as big as possible, so it stands out as a real Gigantamax Pokemon, bigger than most Pokemon papercrafts you can get.

Hopefully we get to see this huge tank of a Pokemon being made, I really would like to see how this huge thing looks like in real!

In any case, I hope you like it and happy crafting~
