Galarian Zigzagoon (Pokemon Sw/Sh) built papercraft

I know, I know, I am late for Spooktober, BUT I wanted to start it the right way! And what better way to start it than with a kinda spooky, evil Pokemon character from the new game (which is going to be released in less than a month and a half!!!! iiiiii!!! :D) than with the galarian form of Zigzagoon, which I love so much XD Btw evil only because the new bad team in the game, team Yell, apparently have these by the ton :D so pretty sure I will get sick of this Pokemon really, really soon - as I always do with the badguy team -, but as long as the hype is real, love him anyway :D I mean look at his cool color-palette, so punk-ish :D love it.

The papercraft I have to say is pretty hard to do, because unlike other papercrafts, I never pre-bend the fold lines on the pieces, because at the end it looks so much smooth and real-figure-like, but in this one you HAVE to pre-bend them, else you have no idea how to put each and every spike together =_= and it's really draining too. So I started as I always do, making the 4 feet and the face first. I just love his little excited face with the tongue XD so much fun to make. But after you finish with those sepparate parts, it's off to make the probably 100 spikes on his body (didn't really count them, I am just guessing XD feels like 10000 when you are making them). So I started on the head and made my way to the tail, where I closed it at the end. You can also reverse it, make the tail first and colninue your way to the head and close it anywhere at his 4 paws as well, if you like it that way. 

So after some hours of spiking and glueing, I finally finished it! Although I really don't like crafts where you have to pre-bend parts, and is hard to do, because you have to concentrate till the very end, he looks amazing. And all that 100 spikes make it look so real and so cool and amazing! And all that work at the end makes it worth, because you feel like you created something super awesome with your bare hands, that's why I love papercrafts so much :) I can't help it.

Cramorant (Pokemon Sword/Shield) built papercraft

Cramorant (Pokemon Sword/Shield) built papercraft

Another one of my creations, built and ready to be shows to the world :) I present you my Cramorant, from the new Pokemon Sword & Shield game, coming out sooonnn~ :D

 

I first did the head feather-piece, since it is fiddly to make, and I (BUILDING TIP? maybe) tend to make the hard parts first, so after that I can have more fun making them. Well that's my strategy at least, also because when I start I am more concentrated and rested than later in the built. Anyway, after that I decided to make the beak, since I wanted it to be nice and clean, since it is the center piece and from there made the whole head till his 2-sided feathers on his neck. 

After I had that I decided to do the next fiddly pieces, which are the wings. Pretty tricky really, since they are super tight and in the folded flaps PDF you sometimes don't have all the finishing lines, coz Pepakura does that to near edges, so I had to cut them in the inner parts by feel (SUPER PRO TIP: if I had the uncolored PDF flap file that wouldn't be a problem, but then I don't tend to get the good results at the end, because colored flaps let you a 5mm fault safe, so you still have the vibrante colors of the papercraft - wihtout having to recolor them at the end -, even if you glue it together 5mm too far, so I suggest you always use the colored flap PDF's for really flawless results, such as this. Putting in more effort when building always makes the end result worth your time). So after I got those I was super happy, because those were the hardest parts of the fold and I did those really neatly :D so I was happy. After those I made the sepparate 2 feet, and then the tail. After I had those parts, I started to build it from tail, though the legs, and at the end attached the wings on the lower bodypart (wings after they are built attach really nice and easy, so no worries the won't hold or anything, they will with no reinforement needed). And as soon as I got the body, I attached it at the neck part with the head (since you can do easily, because of the 2-sided feathers on his neck, so you can finish the craft with open edges, nice and simple). And violla, it was finished :) Just the few finishing touches at the end, which I always do at the end, since those little cosmetic 2-sided things tend to fall off when you are building it, so I always glue them on at the end.

The papercraft also stands with no problems at all, since he has 2 nice big flappy feet, so you don't need to extra reinforce it or put weight in it. And he looks his clumsy, adorable body self as he is :)
