Antyyy's papercrafts - COMMISSIONS

Antyyy's papercrafts - COMMISSIONS

Antyyy’s Papercrafts aka Antyyy (me) has been and always will be open to any kind of papercraft or 3D modeling commissions. To sum up the process, prices and general info, I have listed the basics in here, so do read through if you are interested :)

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

What are commissions?

By commission I mean any kind of paid papercraft (template to assemble yourself) or 3D model (unrigged, no bones) that you would like to be made that hasn’t been done before.

The commissions can be whatever you choose, from existing anime characters, to made up fictional persons, animals, buildings, creatures, vehicles, anything and everything.

1 commission means 1 character/thing you would like to be made. If you would like 2 characters, that counts as 2 commissions, since there is double the work.

You can also choose for the papercraft/model to be either made from scratch (meaning I do the model and texture myself), or if it is an existing character, such as anime, I can also make them from existing models with official textures (if they are available, such as Pokemon, etc.).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

What do you need for a commission?

You need 2 things:

• The reference of what you would like to be made and all the details, including what pose, what difficulty, what colors, how big it should be unfolded to (if it is a papercraft), any other specifics you would like to be taken into account for your work, etc. I can make anything from pictures, so all you need is reference pictures, and I can make it into a papercraft/3D. The more detailed info you provide, the better I will be able to make it for you.

• 
  

• And a PayPal account, since I can only accept money deposits from PayPal, and there are no other paying methods except this one. Money can be either in EUR or USD (depending on the daily exchange rate EUR -> USD).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

What is the price of a commission?

Price is determined by taking into account all the details you wish to be done: difficulty, height, detail, pre-existing edited model base or new model base, pre-existing texture or newly drawn texture, pose, components, etc. So, there is no universal price for a commission, be it papercraft or 3D model. But the prices are always reasonably low.

For loyal commissioners as well as commissioners with more than 1 commission, I also have a discount system, so those commissions always come at an even lower price.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

How does the process of a commission work?

• First, you contact me for a commission per private note or message and we discuss what needs to be done and the price.

• If the commissioner agrees with everything, it is paid for in advance with a deposit on my PayPal account (which I give you after I agree to take on the commission). After I received the deposit, I start on the work and finish it in the agreed timeframe.

• During work, I show you the 1. phase, which is the 3D model (with pose, if there is one) on a 3D preview on Sketchfab, where the model can be inspected in details. If the model needs to be edited, I can edit it some more, and when the commissioner agrees with the way the model looks, I move to the 2. phase, which is texturing (adding color).

• After that is done, I show you the textured preview of the model again for inspection, and if it is ok, I move on to unfolding it to the agreed height (if it is a papercraft). After the work is done, I contact the commissioner and provide a link with the files to download.

The 2 phases that get uploaded as previews on Sketchfab are to ensure that the commissioner always gets 100% what she/he wished for, that is why the commissioner is always a part of the work process. I take into account all the wishes and changes, if they need to be done, so the finished work is always to the utmost satisfaction of the commissioners.

3D model commissioners get the 3D model file (in any format they wish) with the textures (if they were made), and papercraft commissioners get the locked PDO file and 5 different PDF files of the pattern (lined and lineless, with and without colored flaps, as well as the edge ID for easier assembly).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

If you agree with a commission (or pre-made papercraft) and pay for it, you also agree with my policy/terms of use:

The commission you receive, either papercraft or 3D model, will NOT be shared anywhere openly online, in any open group, private group, chat, page, site, forum or anywhere else. You agree, that if you share pictures of the papercraft (or videos, animation, work with the commissioned 3D model), you will provide me: Antyyy – Antyyy’s Papercrafts (https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy), as the designer of the work.

You will not re-sell any of my work, templates or rip/edit/steal any of the designs given to you.

I spend a lot of time on my artworks and do my best to make it 100% the way you want it to be. Please respect my intellectual property as such and treat my work with respect.

I hope things are a bit clearer regarding commissions and if you have any questions, you can contact me anytime.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Nezuko (Kimetsu no Yaiba) built papercraft

 

Nezuko (Kimetsu no Yaiba) built papercraft

Finally managed to take some time and built this beauty :) You can now see her in all angles and in all her glory, and I can explain the process of how to make her the simplest way.

Btw. the template can be found here:

Since I always start my papercrafts the same way, I started from the top and made the whole face and neck first (stripe by stripe). Then I glued the back parts of the 2-sided hair, the back and 2 of the front ones, so I had the hair ready for assembly. When you got the face, I suggest you first glue the front 2-sided hair on the flaps, and then make your way to the back of the head. Since the head is open, it’s quite easy to attach the 2 2-sided hair parts at the end because you can help yourself with the hole. When the head is built, you can shape the hair a bit zig-zaggy as she has in the anime, like I did, so it looks original and once you glue the pink bow on, the head is done. (Btw. although the head is open at the back, you cannot see the hole because of the thick hair + it has no structural problems or anything, since I made the design sturdy and doesn’t need any extra reinforcement at the head part).

After the head, I made her mouthpiece, which is the small bamboo with the red threads. I do suggest you make it the way I did, because you can see the bamboo can be taken on and off. How to do it? Simply build the 3D bamboo piece and then thread a red rubber band through by cutting it apart and thread it on the inside of the head or around the head (make small incisions at those head parts with a bigger needle, that’s all you need). Make sure the band is long enough so it fits. I did thread it inside of the head, so that can be a bit tricky, but you can certainly tie it around the head easily so you can take it on or off. You can, of course, also use thread for this, not only rubber bands, but I found it to be the right thing for my build, since I attached it on the inside and it’s thicker and stronger than thread.

After this step, I made the 2 arms separately, with the fiddly fingers (which should be the fiddliest things to make out of everything), and I actually attached those at the very end, because it’s the simplest way to make it, trust me. So, build the arms and save them for later.

Then build the upper part of the torso, to the part where it touches the lower part of the kimono (at the hips) and glue it on the neck. Once you have that, you build the outer black kimono and slide it (CAREFULLY and take your time with this step!) on the upper torso with the head. Again, trust me, the pieces all fit like this at the end and to assemble the papercraft part by part like this is so simpler.

Now you have the head with the upper torso and the kimono (which I made with only the outer side and not the inner side, it is actually 2-sided, but since I have to budget my builds, I left that out to not have so much paper to print). Next you build the lower part of the kimono and the feet, again separately. The feet take some time, because of all the bumps of her “shoes”, but you’ll get there. And after you got those pieces assembled stripe by stripe, firstly glue the bottom kimono part on the upper torso where the hips meet.

Next, glue on the feet on the hips, inside the bottom part of the kimono (and since the legs are open where you need to glue them together, not only were they simpler to assemble that way, but you can also fill them with weights to make sure she doesn’t tip over). I did not need to fill her legs, since she stands like this perfectly, but you can fill them up with some smaller pebbles just to make sure – Super pro assembly tip: gravel and pebbles are actually THE BEST weights you can put into papercrafts from my experience, since they are small enough to fit in every craft, they are heavy enough to make any papercraft stand - if it doesn’t stand just add more, AND they don’t make any mess at all since if build correctly they do not fall out of the papercraft.

The only thing left to do is to glue both arms inside the kimono, and since the parts of the upper arms are not visible at all, you can attach the arms right at the end and just pose them in a way you like, shove them really deep inside the kimono sleeves so only the hands show at the end, and you are finished.

Probably took me about 7 hours to make, didn’t time myself for this one, but it takes time and it’s not really THAT harder to make than other humanoid papercrafts, it only takes longer because of the leg parts etc. The fiddly parts are the fingers, but else, if you follow these steps, it’s actually easy to make, since most parts can be glued on at any step and can be assembled separately.

I hope you like it, if you have any comments or other questions, feel free to write me anytime or post your questions for the craft in the comments.

Happy crafting~
