Antyyy's Papercrafts UNDER CONSTRUCTION 3.0

Antyyy's Papercrafts UNDER CONSTRUCTION 3.0

I believe it has been quite a few years since the last »purge« so to speak, so it's about time we do some cleanupin with my posts. As you know, or now know, I always try to do some cleaning up with my old papercraft files, but because of the sheer number of things I have released over the years, the sheer mass of stuff demands some beforehand planning for the actual execution. And what better time to do this then with the start of summer and summer holidays!

It is maybe the 4th, or even 5th “under construction” editing of posts I did over the years I have been in business, but I delete my old stuff all the time, so I can’t keep track of it anymore XD but who cares, I decided it’s going to be the 3.0 cleaning up and the 3.0 new start of quality-made papercraft designs I am still making for probably over 15 years now.

*******

So, what does that mean for you? It means I will be deleting quite a few of my old designs that do not fit my quality-made trademark anymore, since my papercraft skills and designs steadily improve and I do not want any half-assed and half-ugly papercrafts to represent the work that I do.

Most of my old designs will be removed and deleted completely from my shop and they will not be available online anywhere anymore. However, some of them that are still usable and fit my well-made criteria will be shared for FREE as freebies on my Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/c/antyyyspapercrafts) , where I share FREE papercraft downloads only.

Anything and everything I don’t like will be removed, most deleted for good, some shared for free, and a few remade sometime in the distant future.

So, whatever older designs you wanted to make in my files, now is the time to buy them still, because I don’t guarantee for any of them to stay online for a long time anymore. And you can also look forward to many free releases during the summer (; Now, isn’t that great?

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

I realize that with the sheer number of papercrafts I make and the current shitty economic state of the world, it is quite useless to have this many papercrafts in my shop that are unmanageable. I would like to focus more on quality-made papercraft designs as much as I can, and make everybody enjoy papercrafts with free releases I have been neglecting over the past few years. The freebies are long overdue, since I have been mostly focusing on commissions this past year and those alone take up most of my design time for my work.

I know that a lot of papercraft designers and artists have quit during these few last years, and the ones remaining are just a handful of good ones, most just trying to scramble-up AI slop to make a few bucks, so there are fewer and fewer actually good templates out there with even less people that are willing to make them. So, this cleanup is somewhat of a redemption ark, trying to do the right thing, making papercrafts available and downloadable for everybody to assemble.

There will always be bad apples in the community, but if I focus just on the shitty ones stealing designs, ideas and patterns and being lazy asses re-selling my work won’t get anybody anywhere. These are the main reasons I do not like to share my patterns for free, but I have come to see that sharing almost nothing for free is the wrong way in fighting this type of behavior. Leading with a good example and work ethic is the way to motivate far more people that actually respect this line of work and dedication to this artform. This is the way in expanding the community with good people that love crafts and want to put their own work and time into it. Making the community bigger and better and actually positive should be the goal of each papercraft builder out there. Only this will make papercrafting a hobby for the future, for many more generations to enjoy and for people to see the magic you can do with your own 2 hands.

*****

I hope I will have your support, the support of the papercraft community, in the coming years as well and you’ll make many more papercrafts you can share online with everybody.

Wish me luck, bear with me, and in the meantime: Happy crafting~

How to open PDO, Assembly help for my papercrafts

How to open PDO, Assembly help for my papercrafts

With all of my official papercraft files, free or paid, you get 2 types of files for assembly: PDF files that you print out in various types (colored and colorless flaps, as well as the lined and lineless versions) and a locked, blank PDO file.

The PDO file is THE main assembly instruction. It is a program with a 3D preview of the papercraft that lets you see how to put the parts together and how it looks assembled. This is THE assembly tutorial and it’s all that you need to build any of them.

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

The PDO file is a file opened with Pepakura (Tamasoft) and can be opened by either buying their Pepakura designer:

https://pepakura.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura_designer/download/

Using a web viewer online (also recommended for Mac users):

https://papercraft-maker.com/

Using ArmorSmith viewer (recommended for Smartphone users):

https://www.armoredgarage.com/

or using my FREE stand-alone PDO-viewer to open the file (recommended, because it will show you the added assembly animation): 

https://mega.nz/file/PwMGlRTR#P26cUauteEdr4-yd5F2oT5mn6IQzdGjZfS-gsKI8s2w

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

The PDO Pepakura (Tamasoft) file has an “animation” function that lets you see how the cut parts are put together and folded, so it’s the nr.1 help-file for all of my assemblies. Learn to use it, and you’ll never want to make a papercraft without one (; This is also why no papercraft of mine has a "tutorial" in a traditional sense of picture screenshots or assembly videos. THAT IS WHY you have the PDO FILE INCLUDED. It literally shows you everything in depth and with precision.

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

Here is a tutorial explaining how to actually use the program and what it lets you do. It shows an older version, but the basic principles on how it shows what flap needs to be glued together and the edge ID numbers are the same. Just ignore the old links that don't work anymore in there and focus on the Pepakura Viewer display itself: 

youtube.com/watch?v=_lQLLEAIxwc&t=1323s&ab_channel=DanielKrsiak 

AND most importantly, you can also enable an "animation" sequence, that shows you the unfolded parts and how they are put together to make the finished papercraft model at the end. Very useful if you have a bit of trouble with 3D perception and also fun to play with:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wlpmjDRvf8&ab_channel=pepakuratamasoft

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

Note that all of my password locked PDO files are LOCKED FOR A REASON. MEANING THAT ALL OF MY PDO FILES ARE VIEW ONLY. YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE FULL FILES TO EDIT THEM WITH A PASSWORD; EVER!

I never share the original 3D model (just the template, because you are buying the unfolded printable template only), the textures are basic, and the UV-maps for texturing are scrambled and unusable for editing. Do not ask me for any password for any of them, because you won’t get it.

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

If you would like for any papercraft I made to be re-sized (made bigger or smaller), you can WRITE ME about that. I have no problem editing the height of any papercraft in reasonable margins, so you don’t need a password for any of them.

Yuru (Yomi no Tsugai) papercraft

Yuru (Yomi no Tsugai) papercraft

I always say that there are too little sexy male papercrafts out there, so who am I here but to use my design skills and make some awesome guy papercraft for the world to see! The new long-distance little brother anime of the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise called “Yomi no Tsugai” is being streamed this season, and I love it so far! So, I decided to make a nice main character papercraft of “Yuru”.

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 26 cm height (about 22 cm height for just Yuru) and has 7 pages to print out (one of them being a double-sided print page for the hair). It has a 3D figure of Yuru, with a separate 3D bow, simple 3D arrows, a 2D scarf and a 3D stand.

Since he has short hair, the head and hair parts are bit tricker to assemble and take more time. He also has optional 2D or 3D hands.

Because of the bent leg, he has to be attached onto the 3D stand so he can stand in this pose. It is also best to reinforce the 2 legs and filling them out with weights to make it stand better (and optionally the stand as well).

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

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

Hope you like the new anime. I can definitely see the Fullmetal influence in the character and story, so we’ll see how this one plays off. That said, FMA is a masterpiece in its own, so I don’t think comparing it to that franchise all the time will do Yomi no Tsugai any favors, so its best to enjoy it as its own thing and let the story grip you in its own way. Its 110% worth the watch, since I am enjoying it myself a lot. Definitely one of the best anime this season to look forward to.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Kit Bodega (Gameoverse) papercraft

Kit Bodega (Gameoverse) papercraft

A really popular series called Gameoverse has released their trailer and people are going crazy for the main cat-like heroine called “Kit Bodega”. So, what a better new subject for a papercraft-ification than her XD

This is Kit Bodega, in a more grown-up stylized design, not as she is seen in the actual series.

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm height and has 3 pages to print out (one of them being a double-sided print page). It has a 3D model of Kit, with separate, simple 3D goggles and 2D whiskers.

The papercrafts has some smaller parts with the 3D tail and the hair. She has an optional lid to close the head in the back.

Because of the big yellow cyborg boots she has, she stands comfortably without needing and reinforcement. You can still fill the 2 legs with small weights just to be sure.

Pusheen (New Version) built papercraft

Pusheen (New Version) built papercraft

Already released the 2 new versions of Pusheen I made as a papercraft template:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Pusheen-New-Version-papercraft-1338228684

And now here is the assembled preview version as well! Let me give you some tips on how to assemble it as well!

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

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

With any of my papercrafts, start from top to bottom. Make the 2 ears separately first, make the 3D tail and glue together the front and back parts of the 4 whiskers and set those aside.

Now you make Pusheen by getting those 2 ears and build the top parts around it first and continue to glue the parts from the top to the middle part. At this point, you can add the 3D tail on and build the remaining bottom stripes on it till you have only the bottom part with no flaps left. You can then simply close the figure by gluing the bottom on it, add the 4 whiskers at the right parts, add the 2D feet and glue them on the bottom, and it’s done.

Since Pusheen is laying down, you don’t need to fill it out or anything.

*NOTE: I only did the laying down version of 2 versions that are included in the template. The purchase includes this laying down and the sitting papercraft versions.

Pusheen (New Version) papercraft

Pusheen (New Version) papercraft

Everybody knows Pusheen! What am I here to explain to you who this adorable little lady is (: (maybe you didn’t know that, but yeah, Pusheen is a girl). However, maybe I can explain a bit on why I am making a new version of her.

10 years ago, 2016, I made my first Pusheen version when I started papercraft designs (It is still online on my Patreon page to download for FREE, with all the other free stuff I got on there). But, needless to say, my designing skills have massively improved since I started all of this, and the old designs are really cringe and weird, and I removed almost all of them, except a few free ones that are still online. So, I wanted to make a new one, that is really simple to assemble, and really adorable, like the mascot we all know and love.

And here she is in all of her cute, fat, kitty glory! :3

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 13 cm and has 5 pages to print out. It has both versions included, a sitting and lying down Pusheen papercraft, since the mascot is known in both poses and I couldn’t decide which one to make XD

Both Pusheens are 3D models, so all of their body is a 3D unfold, including the tail and ears. And then you have 2D whiskers and paws to put on at the end.

Eevee house papercraft

Eevee house papercraft

As you maybe know, 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Pokemon! And in honor of my fav genre of Pokemon games, I wanted to make a tribute to the objectively best Pokemon games out there ever (no other opinions allowed here!! XD): POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON!!

Everybody knows 2DS and 3DS are the best, most awesome and amazing Pokemon consoles out there and that there will ever be :9 and my fav games of those coming out for the 3DS were mystery dungeon games! Love them. Always will love them. And I wanted to make these projects for so long now, because I simply love these Pokemon-themed houses from the game and I think they are adorable to no end. And since it’s the 30th anniversary, I had to take the time and finally make these in the flesh.

I have made the basic starter-type houses for the most common Pokemon of the game and the ones I loved to play as. So, I hope you enjoy them!

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 14 cm heigh with 14 pages to print out.

It consists of a mystery dungeon diorama of the Eevee normal starter house, including the in-game references of the house interior as exterior + a simple Eevee model with its scarf. It has all the basic add-ons in the house as around the garden, including the Eevee mailbox and its flag.

I have referenced all of the room and garden decoration from the last gen game “Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX”, so I redrawn all of the walls and textures from my saved games from my 3DS as well as upgraded some of the looks of the outside to make it look more new-gen-ish and high quality.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Shantae papercraft

Shantae papercraft

Another fan favorite character people wanted to see in papercraft-form for some time now is “Shantae”.

She is a known main heroine from her own Shantae series of games, and has since been in collabs in all kinds of games across all universes. I am sure you know her at least from her sexy looks and design.

Since she first came out, the look has been different in each gen of games, but I decided to go with the most known look for her and not the newest one. I also think she is the cutest-looking in this version and not the newest one, don’t like the new adaptation of her outfit at all XD

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm heigh (about 20 cm of Shantae’s height alone without the stand) with 8 pages to print out.

It consists of a 3D model of Shantae (that I made from 0, as goes with 99% of the papercraft model bases I do myself) with a long 3D hair tail, optional 2D or 3D hands, an optional bra and 3D stand. Even with the stand, she will need some additional reinforcement to make her stand comfortably, so I recommend the assembly for more experienced papercrafters only.

*This is an adult, half-naked version, since the bra is optional and can be put on or off and she has fully textured bare breasts!

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Kasumizawa Miyu (Blue Archive) papercraft commission

Kasumizawa Miyu (Blue Archive) papercraft comm.

A Blue Archive papercraft commission of a different kind. Probably the most detailed papercraft I have made to date, because this Miyu 3D model I made for a PVC figure swap. Meaning the commissioner wanted me to make a 50 cm big Miyu figure, that has all the parts interchangeable and with a lot of detail, so it looks like a real plastic figure when assembled.

The idea was to make a detailed enough model, with all clothing and body parts being able to be swapped with a system of magnets at any given time. All the clothes and parts can be slid on/off as they are, without needing to bend or re-shape them.

This complex papercraft has almost 800 parts and the polygon count is probably 3 to 4-times as much as my normal 20 cm big human papercrafts would be. I had to figure out a whole new system to make this work, a lot of effort and time put into this, not just modeling, but the textures are probably the most detailed ones I made yet.

The figure has a whooping 14 different UV-maps, for each part its own hand-drawn texture, so the details, even at this size, will look pristine and crisp. Thankfully I had a lot of reference pictures and models online to base my model on, so that really helped in seeing how each part should look on her. Still, this took me 2 weeks to make, it was a lot! The unfold alone took me 3 days to finish, because of all the complex parts and limited space on the A4 pages they will be printed on. It was rough! But I persevered and the end result is simply stunning to look at. Love it (:

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

The papercraft is unfolded to a height of 50 cm and it has 70 pages to print out.

It consists of a base naked 3D model of Kasumizawa Miyu, and separate add-ons: the blouse, the skirt, the shoes, the panties, optional white stockings, her headgear and tactical gear, the riffle, optional gloved hands, and the stand with a trash can, a sparrow, her water jug, and a lot of 2D leaves.

Each part of the body is separate, as are the optional add-on items, because she is meant to have interchangeable parts to put on or off with a magnetic system that is added in the assembly process. The body is therefore divided into: the head with the hair, her 2 arms, the torso, her 2 legs and 2 feet.

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

This IS meant for more experienced and patient papercrafters, since the pose does demand you have to fill out her right leg for her to stand firmly, because the left leg is just tapping on the floor. But nothing too hard, since you have the PDO file with the preview of it to help you in any case.

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

***This is a paid commissioned papercraft. Commissioned crafts cannot be re-sold, with some exceptions. If you are interested in buying the template or have any other questions, please message me in private on DeviantArt or on my Facebook page.

Ladybug (Miraculous Ladybug) built papercraft

Ladybug (Miraculous Ladybug) built papercraft

I made the Miraculous Lady bug papercraft template some time ago:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Ladybug-Miraculous-Ladybug-papercraft-1235087048

And now it’s time for the assembly preview and tips.

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

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the neck, the 2 3D hair tails, the arms, the upper torso and the legs with the butt.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair, the back hair and you close. Then you need to assemble the 3D hair tails separately and best to set them aside for last later on.

Next, you can separately build the 2 arms and the 2 hands, with either the 2D or 3D version (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 first few rows of the torso. You glue now this on the head and neck part you did before, then glue on the arms in the holes and build the torso till the belly. Only when this is done, glue in the 2 hands at the right angle inside the arms and that’s done.

Next step is to make the legs. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top and finish with the buttocks part. Then glue all the leg part inside the belly part and it's done. Both parts are rounded in the belly part, so they fit together perfectly and this way, you can easily make the legs and the upper torso in separate phases, so they hold together better. Pro tip: I also suggest adding some weights inside the boots to make her stand nicely.

All that is left is to add the add-ons, the 2D bows and ears, the simple 3D compact in her hand, and glue on the 2D hair tails inside the holes in the head to finish it.

*NOTE: The preview was made with the 2D hand options, but the template comes with both 2D and 3D hand options.
