Celestial Owl (OC) built papercraft

 

Celestial Owl (OC) built papercraft

Another built papercraft to share with all of you, and this time it is my originally created character called “Celestial Owl”. It was a character I made up while being inspired by a cute plushie I saw in a gallery. You can check out the template and the info there:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Celestial-Owl-original-character-papercraft-854137062

The papercraft is about 20 cm tall and actually easier to make than I thought, since I made it upside-down from what I normally do, that means I started bottom to top. It is more logical with this papercraft, since the only fiddly parts are his legs, so you really want those to be neatly done and sealed at the end, so I started to make those 2 first and made my way up till the head, where I closed it at the end. Now, since it has a separate 3D body, the main body is actually done pretty fast. If you like, you can fill in some weights at the end to make it stand more firmly, but it can stand on its own 2 feet, because it is backed up by the cape at the end as well, so it stands no matter what.

After the body was done, I made the separate cape. As you can see it’s pretty simple since it’s open, but I did leave out the inner 2-sided side for the coat, since I didn’t have enough ink to print it at the time. So, with your coat you can make the starry inner part of the coat so it looks fancier as it does with mine :)

After the coat, I made the 2-sided wings, since they need to be glued on the cape. They are actually very sturdy if you make them 2-sided like they are, so you don’t need any extra support for them to stand, just bend them a bit and they hold their form. BUT, you can make them with my wire technique, and add wire in the middle, and glue the other part of the wire by making 2 small incisions in the cape and glue it on the other side. That way, you get moving, flapping wings. I obviously didn’t do it because I didn’t have the inner side of the cape printed out, so the wire would be visible from the inside, but I think it’s a very nice idea if you want moving parts to pose.

In any case, once you make the wings, glue those on the normal way, as I did, or with wire and put the coat with all the extras (such as the button on the cape, and the long veil) on the 3D body. All you need to do now is firmly attach the coat on it with the neck cape pieces and glue it on, so it is enclosed on the body, and the papercraft is finished.

Since it has the coat on firmly with the neck piece, it stands now on 3 points and it will not fall over no matter what. And the 2-sided veil also makes up for some extra balance and looks astoundingly noble and aristocratic XD love the veil thing really, it makes the whole character come to life.

I hope you liked it and do take a look at those cute details in the pictures and in the template.

Happy crafting~

Skeleton Pikachu built papercraft

 

Skeleton Pikachu built papercraft

Another built to show all of you, and since it’s Halloween, I am showing you my built Halloween special of “Skeleton Pikachu”.

     

The template and info can be found here:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Skeleton-Pikachu-papercraft-859272528

The papercraft is about 23 cm tall, so it’s really relaxing and easy to make. I designed is really simple, since I wanted clean surfaces for the skeleton texture to show, so all parts are easy to make, the only “fiddly” part can be the feet since they have the smallest parts to assemble. I would give this papercraft a 5/10. It also took me about 5-6 hours to make, including cutting out pieces.

I started by making the 2 ears and hands separately and after I had those, I built the top part of the head to glue on the ears. After that you just follow down to the torso, gluing each stripe one by one on the body, and when you get to the torso, glue the arms on as well. I continued to assemble it, till I got to the last 3 pieces that you close at the bottom and the feet, since there is where you glue in the 2D tail first.

As always, as already told several times with my tips and tricks, I glued a wire inside the 2 parts of the tail, since it can be moved and it stands well that way. I glued the wire inside, and made sure that 1/3 of the wire stands out, so that part in glued on the inner side of the body. I did this by making a small incision on the back part of the body and put the tail through it, and after gluing the wire with tape on the inside. That way you got a sturdy, movable tail that is really cool looking and functional. It sounds harder than it is to make, you can see from the pictures how it goes in so you can try it for yourself :)

After the tail is on, all you have to do it close the craft on the bottom end with the feet (which is how I always do my papercraft, from top to bottom, since I find it easier and you can hide any imperfections at the bottom, where you can’t see it. I glued the 2 remaining parts and glued on the first foot, and closed it with the last 3. stripe of the bottom. Then I made the second foot in the hole, and close it at the bottom of the foots sole. And there you go, a complete and assembled skeleton Pikachu papercraft.

I hope you like it, if you got any questions or feedback, those are always welcome and you can write them in the comments on contact me per note.

Happy crafting everybody~

Skeleton Pikachu papercraft

Skeleton Pikachu papercraft

Another Halloween special papercraft to share :)

BUT, before I start explaining the papercraft, I really have to say I was hesitant to post and even make this commission. This is an open commission I was asked to make, and the idea was actually from the page of the papercrafter called »Danyuu«. I really don't re-make work of others and copy things like this, but it was a commission I was asked to do from a good friend and I also have to admit I myself really like the idea of the skeleton Pikachu Halloween special, as well, so in the end I did decide to make it. So, if you have the time, look at the original craft of Danyuu on his page, he is giving it away as a dynamic of some sort, and the idea really came from his design. I did make it my own, I never copy anything 100%, since I always do things in my style, but the basic overall look is the same.

Continuing with the papercraft, it was unfolded to 23 cm, and has 6 pages to print. It is actually really simple to make, no small parts, just fiddly legs to make, since they have bumpy fingers, but that's about it. Tried to keep it simple and clean, so the texture can really get through, just as the commissioner wanted.  

As you can see, the papercraft is made out of an attached 3D modeled body, and a separate 2D 2-sided tail. As with some of my Pikachu papercrafts, the idea of the tail is the same as with most of them. Since it's 2D, glue one end part of the wire in the inner parts of both sides of the tail and attach the other end of the wire on the inner side of his behind. That way the tail stands 100% and you get a simple yet effective way to move the tail around as you wish in any direction 360 ° :)

Kitsune Mask (Fox Mask cosplay prep) papercraft

Kitsune Mask (Fox Mask cosplay prep) papercraft

Spooktober time again... Well not really a typical Halloween papercraft, but it kind of fits the theme? Since all of the cosplay events are canceled this year, even our biggest in the country in December, we are going to have everything per cam and such. So, I though what I would be making to fit in the cam theme cosplay, since it's not really effective to dress all of yourself, since only the face is mostly visible, SOOOO, I wanted to make a Kitsune Mask for the even, and since I don't have any shops here in a radius of +300000 km that would actually sell one, I made one myself XD so, that's the idea of the Kitsune Mask papercraft really.

The papercraft is unfolded to 36 cm height, since I measured my face + the ears that are overhanging on the top, so I think it should mostly fit everybody's face more or less. It has 15 pages to print and it’s not really hard to do. And of course, the model, the design idea and textures and color-scheme are all mine and made by me 100%.

Actually, I have made the mask to fit 2 purposes: one being a cosplay mask that you can build and with a bit of rope or elastic you can put on your face, OR you can actually use it as an ornament/décor or wall mount. The difference being, that the mask, when built as an ornament, can be closed at the back side and hanged on the wall like that, whereas if you want to use it as a cosplay prop, you leave out the back parts of the mask and build just the front part of it. Isn’t that nice? :D I think it’s a cool trick to use it in 2 different ways and it’s easy to make. Also, a lot of people are using papercrafts as the base for their cosplay preps and then reinforcing them with glue, or cutting the pieces out with foam after, so I though about making some 2-time puprose papercrafts like this. Might make more if it gets popular, who knows.

Beatrice (Re: Zero) papercraft

Beatrice (Re: Zero) papercraft

As you guessed in my second »Guess the character/series« post correctly, I have made “Beatrice” from the anime “Re: Zero” this time.

This is another one of my “New Generation” ultra HD and precise papercraft, as I already did and announced with my Ryza Stout papercraft. Now, since she is from an anime, the textures in anime are usually more “flat” looking and it may seem as though she is not as detailed and well textured and Ryza, BUT she takes up a whooping 10 different texture maps, so believe me, SHE IS XD. That means 10 different detailed textures with all the details of her dress that I probably again made in 1 weeks’ worth of work with a few hours of texturing and modeling a day. I assure you, she is as crisp if not more than Ryza, and she should be 95% accurate as in the anime, be it in parts of her dress, her color-scheme or pose, 100% reference from the second season of Re: Zero (if you didn’t watch it, better do, because it’s really awesome).

Part of me wanting to do this papercraft was because she is shown in a totally different light in the 2. season and I really have sympathy for her story and fate and what she is doing and why (don’t want to spoil anything too much for those not watching the season). And the other part being that she has so much dress details on her and I love her character silhouette and hair, because it reminds me of my natural curls as well XD (no, my hair does not look like THAT, but I have natural curls since forever and I like them).

Since she is so detailed and since I am really proud of her as well, I unfolded her to a bigger 27 cm height scale, with the unfold being 29 pages with the extra book preps, and 21 pages if you only want to assemble Bea with her book in her hands.

She is made out of a 3D attached body, with a lot of extras and optional 2-sided sleeves, 2-sided braids and her 2-sided dress.

She also has, as already said, separately made 3D prep books (since she basically lives in her library and only reads books), that are a really simple boxy shape and you just glue the 2D covers on like that, and a special separate 3D book of hers called her “Gospel” that she carries in her hands, which has intentional blank pages as in the original. The gospel book, again, is 100% accurate, textured from the anime references, while the other random books in the background have textures that I chose to make randomly to fit in the scene.

Her bows are actually 2D that you bent to a 3D look and you just glue them together at the side parts and then on the body, so although it looks like those have a LOT of small details, they are really simple and easy to make.

The fingers and feet may be a bit fiddly, but since she has a really large dress around her waist that goes to her feet, she stands 100% even with those small feet with high-heels, since she has double support from the rim of the dress and the feet as well. Same can be said about the frills on her dress, not really hard to do, but very time-consuming all in all. But worth the assembly :)

Another feature are her simple 2D braids that you just glue on her head. For this I suggest to make the braids first and separately after you have done all of the 3D head parts of her and put them on last. The braids have some small flaps to glue the braids together on each layer, so it stands firmly as it should and the braids will not lose their form if they hang. Once you have the braids (with either just 1 braid or the optional 2-sided part glued on for better color as well), you cut a small line along the head where the hair should go and glue the flap on the inside of the head. Once it is glued on the inside of the head, you can reinforce it with tape or anything like that, and they should stand 100% firmly. Another tip for the hair is to use wires in them on the first tier of the braids so it also stands and you can glue the overhanging wire on the inside of the head with a small incision as well. That should stand 200% then :) and you got the option to move the braids to any angle.

And of course, since it’s a HD ultra-detailed papercraft, you also get to see the 3D papercraft preview here:

Halloween dead bunny papercraft

 Halloween dead bunny papercraft

I recently made a fun papercraft commission for Halloween/Spooktober that I can re-sell as a Halloween special of a sort, so here we are XD

As you can see it’s a dead bunny or suicide bunny that was killed by a carrot. It’s kind of ironic and funny, I really didn’t want it to come off as a gory scary thing at all, since it’s not the intention of this design whatsoever, it’s really supposed to be a funny wall mount/decoration of a sort. Also, the idea came from the commissioner, which showed me a similar papercraft wall design that he wanted me to make in my own style, so the idea was copied from an existing design.

        

The papercraft is unfolded to 25 cm and has 6 pages to print. As you can see it consists of a 3D bunny papercraft, that is quite simply designed and a separate 3D carrot with separate 2D greens of the carrot that you simply glue on the carrot (additionally to this you can glue both parts of the 8 different greens on a wire and then poke it in the carrot top to get simple straight greens that hold their shape like that).

The separate carrot is exactly designed to fit on the pierced bunny belly, so you just glue the finished carrot on him and it’s done. Also, the bunny, where is it pierced by the carrot, has a 2D 2-sided blood splatter, that you glue on the belly as you go assembling the bunny papercraft, so it has a nice 3D effect to it. And of course, since it is designed as a wall mount, the back side of the bunny, where it is greyer in color, is completely flat, so it can be attached or glued on the wall or any flat surface like that, nice and easy.

                   

The most important part:

No bunnies or other animals were harmed in the making of this papercraft!

It is meant as a funny Halloween prep and in no way does it represent any kind of glorification of violence towards any kind of animal or living being. I love bunnies very much actually, so no hard feelings… hopefully ;)
