Bojji (Ousama ranking) papercraft


Here he is! The cute little »giant« prince from the awesome anime »Ousama ranking« aka »Ranking of kings«. Love the anime, since it's so different and with special animation and an awesome story that drew me in from episode 1., so I was especially motivated to do this open commission.  

As mentioned, this papercraft was made as a commission for somebody, and they allowed me to make it into an open, re-sold papercraft. The papercraft idea was actually based off an already existing papercraft from a Chinese designer, which the commissioner wanted to be copied. And since I never make actual 100% same copies of ANY design whatsoever, and I explained that to the commissioner as well, they were fine for me to make this papercraft into a special design that fits my esthetics and model it the way I think it looks best. And the result can be seen as this preview :)

The papercraft is unfolded to 20 cm and has 15 pages all in all. The template has 3 different separate Bojji-ouji papercrafts (in a happy pose, a sitting and eating pose that can be sat on the log, and a waving and standing pose with his green travelling cape), a separate 3D stand with 2-sided grass, a separate log that is simply glued or put on the stand, a super simple 3D design of Kage (Shadow), his best friend and demon, and a 2D meat you can put in his eating pose hands. All the Bojji papercraft are made in the same simple style, a 2D crown that is just glued on, same as his 2-sided hands that are simply glued on the stumps of his arms, the hair in the front that is glued on the back head and stands apart from the face, and the other 3D simple body. The 3rd Bojji also has his green cape, that is a simple 2D 2-sided design that is glued on his neck part. Really simple design, made to be assembled in an easy way, with no smaller or fiddly parts.

I am super excited to get 1 of these Bojji-ouji papercrafts assembled for myself, since I really want to display this in my papercraft display-case! Then you’ll also be able to see how it looks built, since it’s really adorable XD

If you don’t know the anime yet, WHY DO YOU NOT KNOW IT? :D Seriously, easily the best anime that came out last year and I really recommend it to anybody that loves anime. It’s really fun and special.

Since I got so much work to do, and it always takes effort to find time to assemble my papercrafts (though I really want to speed it up but can't... 1 person can only do so much work alone), it’s still far off from being photographed and posted in my gallery. But I do hope you like it till now and you’ll wait to see the finished result till then and maybe give it a go yourselves.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Pokekid (Pokemon) papercraft



Since the new “Pokemon Legends: Arceus” game is going to be released this week and we are all hyped at how it's going to be, I decided to post another Pokemon papercraft I did just for fun. Since I love Pikachu as much as anything anime, I decided to make the Pokekid from the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes, since she is super adorable.

And, yes, the reference for the model is from the game, since I did watch screenshots of the game to get the model, pose and texture right, but NO, the model and textures are 100000% made by me. This is not a game rip whatsoever, I took a look at the bases used in the game from gameplay footage and made it and drew it myself. Just like all of my papercrafts I do. Just to be clear here, since people still don't get the concept of what I am making. If I say »made by me« then it is 100% MADE – BY – ME. Nothing fake, nothing ripped, plain old modeling and drawing skills on my PC in Gimp and Metaseq.

The paperccraft is unfolded to be 28 cm (because of the ears), so I would say the overall model is 25 cm. It has 7 2-sided pages to print. Decided to go with a 2-sided print on this one, to see if it gets any better when assembling and if it will look as nice as when I make 2-sided model parts. As a somewhat experiment to see if it will actually be simpler to make yet look the part it should.

I definitely will assemble this cutie when I get time, since I think the Pikachu Pokekid concept is super adorable and I always loved Pokemon-dressed trainers in the game :)

Apart from the 3D fingers and the pants that have to be substantially wider than the girls’ legs and have holes in them, and maybe the head with the hair and hoodie, shouldn't be as hard to make actually. I would say a 6/10. But it always comes down to how skilled you are with your fingers and how much experience you have, so maybe for some a bit simpler or harder.

Will try to post the assembly soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the new Pokemon game and happy crafting~
