Yusei Fudo (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's) papercraft commission



Time to share another papercraft commission, so you can see some variety in what I can do with a craft. This one is the main character of the spin-off anime of Yu-Gi-Oh, »Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's« called »Yusei Fudo«.

As with every papercraft I make, the 3D model, the posing, the texture and the unfold are all made by me. Took me about 5 days to finish this, since the texture maps are quite detailed.

The papercraft consists of quite some separate parts, the 3D craft of Fudo, the 3D stand, his 3D duel disk, his 2D 2-sided cape that you got to build on him, 2 simple 3D boxes for his cards, quite a few 2D details (like the belt, the buttons, etc.) and a LOT of 2D playing cards for the duel disk deck and for his deck in his hands, so it looks original.
The papercraft was unfolded to 35 cm, since the Fudo papercraft should be 30 cm tall, and the pose is from an original PVC figurine (that costs 120 dollars or something like that), so waaaaaay more eco-friendly and friendly for your purse to make it as a papercraft, believe me XD And it’s the way the commissioner wanted. AND, if I may say so myself, looks better and more original than the plastic made by the tons in China. All we need now is to wait and see how it will look like build :)

I will keep you posted if I get pictures of the build, else I wish you a good time and happy crafting~

And because I am super slow with posting this (and all of my work really XD), the commissioner already made the finished papercraft XD So you can see the really amazing effort and work of her here:

Shigeo Kageyama (Mob Psycho 100) papercraft


This one is way overdue for posting, but since I didn’t have any upload limits for a 3D preview and other ones were more in a rush, I can only post it now, finally XD This is one of the most awesome anime that have been released in the last 5 years, from the anime “Mob Psycho”, I present you the most powerful telekinetic user of them all, and the most awesome nice guy, “Shigeo Kageyama”, also known under the nickname “Mob”, as he is called by his friends. 

The papercraft is unfolded to 28 cm, and has a template with 12 printable pages. The actually craft consists of the character Mob, that is about 25 cm tall and the 3D stand.

The stand is made out of a normal stand in a 3D cylindric shape, and has simple (yet effective and awesome looking) 3D rocks around, that are just build and glued on the stand. It actually took me more time to design the stand than Mob itself, since he himself is rather simple to make XD I think, although the stand is optional to make, it’s super cool, and you can see the extent of Mob’s telekinetic powers like that, just making holes into the ground with his pure energy, like all awesome anime characters do XD So, I would definitely build the stand along Mob, just to get that epic effect of it.

The 3D craft of Mob is made out of an attached 3D body, with hair that stand apart from the head, and makes up for the original bowl-cut hairdo he has that you can recognize from 10 km away XD He also has 2D buttons that you glue on his school uniform like that, and apart from the 3D fingers, it’s actually not hard to assembled at all.

***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***

I hope you like it and you’ll watch the awesome anime if you don’t know it yet, definitely one of the better ones out of the 100.000.000 anime that are out there.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Whisper: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) built papercraft

 

Whisper: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) built papercraft

Here is my built version of Whisper I made for the “Super simple papercraft” project, meaning that it is easy to assemble and fast as well.

The template and info can be found here:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Whisper-Yo-kai-Watch-Simple-Version-papercraft-863769939

Whisper is about 22 cm tall, so it’s a nice height to glue together and display anywhere in your room.

Since I make all of my papercrafts the same way, I also made this from top to bottom. There is nothing out of the usual here, just glue each part on each other, following the edge ID numbers, 1 stripe at a time, till you get to the bottom part. There, before closing it with the last few stripes, you should put weights into the bottom part of his ghostly tail to make it stand, else it will fall over. For this, I suggest using my ultra pro tip and add in a few pebbles, since they are small enough for the opening and at the same time heavy, and heavy enough to support the whole papercraft. After you put enough of them in, make sure the pebbles are placed correctly so it stands and then close the tail with the remaining parts.

All you have to do now is glue the remaining separate parts on. Glue both sides of the arms together and glue them on the body, as well as the eyes, and he is done.

I hope you like it and it makes you want to build a papercraft or two of your own. There are various papercrafts out there, easily made, as well as super hard ones, but if you like them and want to make your own (or improve), you can find the right papercraft for the right assembler ;) If you got any questions or comments, just write bellow and else enjoy~

Whisper: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) papercraft

 

I do like the Yo-kai Watch franchise and did play some games of them, so I decided to make the main 3 anime youkai as part of my »Super simple papercrafts«.

This one is called “Whisper” and is a ghost youkai that we first meet at the beginning of the anime. He knows everything about youkai, but only when he looks it up on his youkai tablet XD he is kinda annoying, but cute in his own way.

The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm height, from bottom till the tip of his head, and the template consists of 4 pages to print out. The craft itself is simply made, as the name suggest. You have a main 3D easy body, with 2D 2-sided eyes and arms, that are just glued on at the end. It may look a bit hard to make, because of the curved tips at both ends, but it’s really NOT ;D He also stands on the bottom of his ghost tail, since I designed it flat and the center of gravity makes him stand with no problem.

As the name suggests, it is a project of really simple papercrafts I am making from time to time. Since I saw that many people are somewhat intimidated of my papercrafts and I do like to make more intricate designs and details in papercrafts, people tend to get scared of the work and difficulty. In order to show that it’s not the case and that I take an effort to make papercrafts available really for any kind of papercrafter, be it beginner, advanced or pro, I decided to address the issue and show that anybody can make papercrafts and especially designed some fun crafts that REALLY ANYBODY CAN MAKE, super simple and really fast. But most of all, fun!

These papercrafts are simple in design, have fewer pieces to cut out and assemble, they have no really small parts, are overall unfolded a bit bigger, they have more detached and “boxier” (simpler) pieces that you just cut out and glue on, and when assembled still look super sweet and awesome :)

***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***

Also note that all Yo-Kai (Simple Version) papercrafts are relative in height, so they fit together perfectly. And I also did a built version of it, so stay tuned for the update of how it looks assembled :)

Komasan: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) built papercraft



Here is my built version of Komasan I made for the “Super simple papercraft” project, meaning that it is easy to assemble and fast as well.

The template and info can be found here:


Komasan is about 22 cm tall, so it’s a nice height to glue it together and display anywhere in your room.

Since I make all of my papercrafts the same way, I also made this from top to bottom. So, the first thing I made was the ears. These are actually separate and 2-sided, so you make them first and then start assembling the head. After you got half of the head done, I suggest to glue the ears on then, because you got a nice and big hole at the bottom of the head to help yourself to really firmly attach/glue them on like that. And after they sit on the right position, you make the rest of the head. After the head comes the neck part, and then I decided to make the arms first.

After you have both bent arms, glue them one by one on the upper torso part piece by piece and continue till you reach the bottom. Close it with the feet, since they are open at the bottom, which allows you to really firmly glue the flaps on like they are supposed to be.

All you have to do now is glue the remaining separate parts on. I made the 3D backpack next, making sure to close it at the edges, because it’s simpler that way. And once it is built, simply glue it with the edges on the back of Komasan. It has the same shape as the back, so it should fit on perfectly. Then you have the 2D 2-sided flame eyebrows, how green bow, the 2D eyes, the 2D tail and his 2D purse, which you can glue on in any position you would like, and he is done.

Since he has the green backpack on his back, this allows him to actually stand in balance, so if built correctly, you can see from the pictures that he stands on his 2 feet without any help or weights.

I hope you like it and if you got any questions or comments, just write bellow and else enjoy~

Komasan: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) papercraft


I do like the Yo-kai Watch franchise and did play some games of them, so I decided to make the main 3 anime youkai as part of my »Super simple papercrafts«.

This one is called “Komasan” and a really gentle and sweet soul. And again, who doesn’t like cat-like (dog-like) characters, right? :D

The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm height, from legs till the head, and the template consists of 8 pages to print out. The craft itself is simply made, as the name suggest. You have a main 3D easy body, with 2D 2-sided ears, that are just glued on the head, 2D eyes, a 2D tail, and his 2D purse, all just cut out and glued on like that. He also has his bag with him, where he keeps various stuff in, and that is made as a simple 3D bag with a 2D knot for his neck, and is built separately and simply glued on his back at the end, since the form fits his back like that. As you can see the legs and the 2 arms have holes at the ends of them, because it’s a simple papercraft and I didn’t want to close those off. So, it can be built from any direction you want.

As the name suggests, it is a project of really simple papercrafts I am making from time to time. Since I saw that many people are somewhat intimidated of my papercrafts and I do like to make more intricate designs and details in papercrafts, people tend to get scared of the work and difficulty.

Jibanyan: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) built papercraft

 

Jibanyan: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) built papercraft

Here is my built version of Jibanyan, the 2. JIbanyan I made for the “Super simple papercraft” project, meaning that it is easy to assemble and fast as well.

Jibanyan is about 22 cm tall, so it’s a nice height to glue it together and display anywhere in your room.

Since I make all of my papercrafts the same way, I also made this from top to bottom. So the first thing I made was the ears. These are actually separate and 2-sided, so you make them first and then start assembling the head. After you got half of the head done, I suggest to glue the ears on then, because you got a nice and big hole at the bottom of the head to help yourself to really firmly attach/glue them on like that. And after they sit on the right position, you make the rest of the head. After the head comes the neck part, and then I decided to make the arms first.

After you have both arms, glue them one by one on the upper torso part piece by piece and continue till you reach the bottom. Last 3 pieces of the bottom and with the feet still to build, I made the tail, which I also suggest you attach before you close the craft, since it’s easier to glue and tape it on.

Since the tail is 2-sided, use my wire trick and glue wire inside both parts of the tail, so it can stand firmly, and with the end part sticking out of the wire, glue that with an incision on the backside of the body and tape it on the inside. That way the tail will stand and you can actually move it.

After you got the tail, it can be a bit fiddly to move around with, so just turn it ousidedown and glue the remaning end parts and the legs on like that. And since the legs also have holes in them, it’s easy to close since you have an open part that can help you to really firmly glue the flaps on like they are suppose to be. All you have to do now is glue the remaining part of his bell on the neck, and his eyes, and it’s done.

Since you have the tail at the back, it is also used as a kind of 3. leg, so it should stand with the help of the tail, which is at a low position, so it touches the ground where the feet are. If you do not wish to use the tail, you can tuck the legs with the holes on a stand or anywhere you want, or you put some weights in them that lets it stand, but the basic idea for the cat to stand is with the help of the tail really.

You can find info on the template here:

Jibanyan: Yo-kai Watch (Simple Version) papercraft

I do like the Yo-kai Watch franchise and did play some games of them, so I decided to make the main 3 anime youkai as part of my »Super simple papercrafts«.

This one is called “Jibanyan” and is a spirit of a dead cat that got reincarnated as a cat spirit, so to say. He loves his “Chocoboo” chocolate bars XD and I mean, who doesn’t like cats, right?

I actually already did a Jibanyan papercraft some time ago, but it’s more detailed and not as simple as this one, so I though I would make an easy version as well :)

The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm height, from legs till the tips of his ears, and the template consists of 7 pages to print out. The craft itself is simply made, as the name suggest. You have a main 3D easy body, with 2D 2-sided ears, that are just glued on the head, 2D eyes, a 2D collar, and a 2D 2-sided tail, all just cut out and glued on like that. As you can see the legs and the 2 arms have holes at the ends of them, because it’s a simple papercraft and I didn’t want to close those off. So, it can be built from any direction you want.

She-Ra (Princess of Power) built papercraft


Another day, another built papercraft to show :) This one is the new She-Ra design from the cartoon »She-Ra - Princess of Power«. Loved the cartoon, loved the plot-twist ending, really nice. It’s a rare sight to see in cartoons, that’s why I appreciate it even more. Really well done and inclusive :) I don’t want to mention too much, since some of you didn’t see it yet, but definitely go watch it, it’s perfect for binge-watching and it’s a great character development.

In any case, moving on to the papercraft, it’s about 35 cm tall, since she is holding the sword in her hands. The She-Ra craft itself is about 25 cm. She is very hard to do, because the fingers are made out of 4 parts and it is killing you making those =_= (but at the same time still necessary because of the pose and because she needs to hold that sword in her hands without glue). So, definitely not for beginners, since it’s about an 8/10. Recommended for expert builders here, if you love a challenge, you are gonna love this.

I started by making the sword really, since it’s the coolest feature. It has some smaller parts, so mind those. Else I recommend you make it like me, and build the grip first and close it at the tip of the blade, that’s the easiest way to make it.

After I had the sword, I made the face with the neck and then made my way back to the hair. She has a small 3D wave of hair at the front, so that’s a bit tricky, else the hair at the back can be closed or you can leave it open, and it’s simple to build once you are at the back, just glue layer by layer. I left the hair open at the back, and you don’t even see it, so I recommend doing the same with any build of yours. After the head is all done, you can already glue on the 2D extras, which are her tiara pieces and leave it for later.

Next came the hands. They are really small and I printed it out too small as well, so those were hell to make. Had to glue them together with a needle to get it neatly closed. So, if you are thinking of purchasing the template, do keep in mind that you can say to re-scale the papercraft to a bigger size, that way it’s simple to make and you won’t have a hard time making the small fiddly fingers as I did XD After fingers I did the hands and glued the shoulder pads on the flaps of the arm, so I got those ready for the next step.

I then build one half of the torso, and not the while one, so you still have maneuvering space gluing parts on it, so be sure to keep that in mind when assembling crafts. You make ½ of the torso and then glue on the head with the hair and the 2 arms you made. At this point, glue the remaining half of the torso on and glue the skirt on last. – Here on you can also glue on the 2D 2-sided cape on her at the back, since the hair is far enough from the body to comfortably glue the cape flaps on here to the back (for a nicer overall look, you can make a horizontal cut in the torso where the cape flaps need to go, as I did, and glue them on the inside of the body, so the flaps are not visible at the end).

As this point you want to think of making the craft sturdier. Since she is holding the sword in her hands, I filled out her arm with rolls of paper. Super pro assembly tip: if you have a part of a papercraft that need to be especially sturdier than the others, fill it out with paper stripes from the inside. These can be curled-up to form a kid of roll, which you can jam up the parts that need to be harder, and later won’t be seen when the craft is ready.

All you have to do now is make the legs. Since she has the skirt, you can make the legs separate and then glue them on at the hips, since it’s easier that way, and you can additionally fill the legs with weights to make her stand better. Make the legs from bottom to top, following each stripe of paper, and when you are finished, glue the 2D gold stripes on her shoes. Now add in the weights in the shoes to make her firmly stand before gluing it to the already build body (I always use small pebbles or gavel, depending on how much space there is to fill, since they are small enough to throw into the inside of the legs and are at the same time heavy enough to pin the legs down). And then glue it together.

If the hands are built in the correct angle, the sword should be able to stand inside the hand, such as mine. If not, you can always use a small dot of glue and glue the sword into the hand for good.

And there you go, She-Ra in all her mighty glory ;) Definitely one of the hardest papercrafts I have done in a while, but you really get to appreciate the ones you put more time and effort into at the end. It probably took me about 3 days to make, I didn’t time how much hours per day that was, since I took my sweet time with the making of the hands, because the template was printed too small XD that’s what you get if you want to save money on prints, oh well…

You can find info about the template and how to purchase it here: 

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/She-Ra-She-Ra-Princess-of-Power-papercraft-821622133

I hope you like her and you get the inspiration to make your own She-Ra or any other papercraft for that case.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Ponyta (Pokemon) built papercraft

 

Ponyta (Pokemon) built papercraft

Pokemon time! And time to show my built Ponyta I recently put together (If nothing else, these quarantine times are a great way for me to really get my papercrafting going and make things that were due ages ago, so at least I got that going for me this year XD).

The papercraft is about 25 cm tall, so it’s quite big and comfortable to work with, since the only small fiddly parts are the hooves. So, I would say it’s probably about a 6/10 on a difficulty scale. It took me probably 12 hours to make, but as always said, it depends how quick you are.

As with all my builds, I make it from head to bottom. So first I made the 2 ears and made my way to make the mane around it. The mane (and later the fire on the legs and tail) have some 2-sided parts that are just glued together, it is visible from the template, so they are actually easy to make, since you just put them together with the matching same ends of the stripes. I made the mane all the way to the tip, and after that made my way, gluing stripe by stripe, to make the head all the way to the neck part.

Since the hooves are a bit tricky to make, I decided to make the 4 legs separately and then glue them one by one on the body, since I think it’s easier to make and you don’t have the problem of things falling down as you would constantly rotate the body with the parts. I made the 4 legs the same way, bottom to top, making sure to keep in mind that the fire part of each leg is simply glued together. That way it’s again simple to put together, and the legs hold really well if you want to put weights in them or reinforce them from the inside.

Once I had the 4 legs, I took the head with the neck part I made before and glued the 2 front legs on, then glued the other part of the body and the 4 back legs. Be careful, since when putting the 2 back legs on at the end can be a bit tricky, so do take your time, glue 1 by 1 flap to make it neatly attached together.

Now that you have the horse with 4 legs, you can already see if the Pokemon will stand or not. I found the papercraft to be very top-heavy, so I did put in some pebbles in the front and back right legs. That way it does not tip over and stands with ease. - If you are building it yourself, you have to check the balance at this point, since you have a hole left for the tail attachment, so use that to put in weights at this point.

And once you get it ready and standing, all that is left is the tail. You glue that one the same way you made the mane, with some parts that are mirrored in the flaps to be glued together, till you reach the tip. At that point all you need to do it glue the last tip to the remaining tail to close it, and the papercraft is ready.

I do find the pose to be very pleasing to the eye, it really captures the dynamic wild nature of Ponyta and it now has a special place in my papercraft display at home :) I was wondering if I should make the shiny version, since the template has both, but I did then decide to make the normal one so you get a look at the actual color. But I am thinking of making the shiny version next, since I love the blue flames on Ponyta so much XD

The template and info on how to purchase it can be found here:

I do hope you like it and happy crafting~
