Showing another one of my projects, that is maybe from the concept a bit different. Why? Because this one was actually made as an idea I took from another Deviation.
This is a plush that I found while browsing online, and I immediately fell on love with it. But, since I can’t make plushies and I can’t even hold a sowing needle in my fingers, I though of transforming this celestial owl idea into my own style, and this is what I came up with.
This is my original character “Celestial Owl” I made up myself (with the starting idea of the plush) and turned into a papercraft. The craft is 20 cm tall and has 7 pages to print. It is a rather simple craft that I tried to make, a lot of 2-sided flat pieces you just put on as decoration, but with very effective textures that makes it look very elegant. It is essentially a 3D owl, with a 2-sided cape, a hoodie with a 2D crown, his 2D 2-sided wings that you just glue on the cape (for extra effect you add in wide between the 2 wings and you make it articulate and stand that way, so trust me, got to use wire with the wings), and a long 2D 2-sided cape at the back that adds that extra touch of elegance.
The textures are actually very dear to me, because the intricate design I used with the gold colors are so called “mantras” I have been probably drawing op paper since I was 12. It’s my take on Japanese mantra designs and old kanji that I love so much, and that I made into my style for everything I do in real life really. So, I decided to also put the design into my digital 3D work of arts as well, to give it my special kind of touch.
I think you can get the basic idea of how it looks and how easy it is to make by the screenshots of the papercraft itself, and I hope you like the small designs I put into it. There are always some things that inspire me to do something, and this time it was an owl plush that I think it super adorable :) and that made me design a new character I wanted to make out of it.
