Akiza (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's) papercraft commission

Akiza (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's) papercraft commission

Time to share another papercraft commission, so you can see another side of my papercrafting skills. This one is the more popular character of the spin-off anime of Yu-Gi-Oh, »Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's« called »Aki Izayoi« aka "Akiza Izinski". And as with every papercraft I make, the 3D model, the posing, the texture and the unfold are all 100% made by me.

     

The papercraft consists of some separate parts, the 3D craft of Akiza, the 3D stand, her 3D duel disk and a LOT of 2D playing cards for the duel disk deck and for her handheld deck, so it looks dynamic and detailed.

The papercraft was unfolded to 35 cm (and has 13 pages to print), since she fits with the other Yu-Gi-Oh commissions that I made for the same commissioner. All we need now is to wait and see how it will look like build.

I will keep you posted when the pictures of the build are going to be posted, else I wish you a good time and happy crafting~

Bojji (Ousama ranking) built papercraft

Bojji (Ousama ranking) built papercraft

Needless to say, I freaking LOVE this anime so much. So!!! I had to make this before everything else. My papercraft of »Bojji-ouji« and his best friend »Kage«, from the awesome anime called »Ousama ranking« aka »Ranking of kings«.

                  

The papercraft template comes with 3 different Bojji papercrafts, but I only made 1 of them for the assembly preview, the one I liked most. You can view the template and all the ad-ons and additions here:

***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***

            

The papercraft itself is unfolded to a 20 cm height with the stand, so probably about 17-18 cm tall separate Bojji papercraft, a really big grass stand with additional grass to glue on, a separate log for deco or for the 1. version of the Bojji papercraft to sit on (look at the template), and a separate and really easy 2D Kage.

I first made the stand, since it’s really big and has to be filled out or made with additional cardboard or harder paper to really hold the figures on them (especially if you put weight inside Bojji’s legs to make him stand better). So, for the stand I do suggest to make it with cardboard pieces that you put inside before closing it at the bottom, like I did. And when you have that, glue the remaining deco grasses on it to make it look really nice. I like the stand very much, since papercraft grass is always very satisfying to make.

Next, I went and made Kage. Really simple design where you just glue the extra backside of his arms on and the eyes and you should be done in 30 min max for that, including paining the flaps and white edges like I do to make it look better at the end, just in case.

Then you have the simple tree log that is an ad-on to the stand. If you make a standing-version Bojji you don’t really need it, but it’s a very cute addition to the grass terrain for the papercraft. You start with the branch and glue it to one side and close it on the other. Simple stuff, you just follow the PDO instructions that come along with the template I made.

And lastly, since he is the highlight and the most “complicated” craft, I made Bojji. I always start with the head, making the face first, then the hair bangs that I glue on the face, and the you make your way to the back of the head, gluing each piece of the hair and finally closing it at the neck part.

Next, I made the cape and the backside of the cape separately, and glue it together, making a nice green edge so none of the white paper edges are visible. Once you have the cape, glue that to the already made head and you got half of the work done.

Then make your way to make the arms. Since he only has stumps and his 2-sided hand are only glued on and bent in position, they should be really easy to make. Move on from each hand to make the combined torso all the way down to the edge of his blue shirt. Once you have the torso with his blue shirt and the arms, you glue the neck part inside the neck part of the already made head with the cape. The hole is very generously made, and there should be no problem fitting those 2 parts together. As said, it’s all visible in the PDO instructions when you get the bought files for it. Simple stuff.

Note that here, at this point, the neck should be reinforced with a leftover paper tube that you curl up inside the neck, just to be sure it holds firmly and even if it falls down it won’t break or bend. So, always fill out any papercraft you are making to make it last ages so it never falls apart!

When you got the torso joined with the head, all you have to do is make the remaining legs. Build those opposite the direction of the head, so start with the shoes and make your way up to the waist. Once you got that, you can fill in his legs with weights (I always use small pebbled or gravel, depending on how big of a hole I have to fill and hold) so he stands even better. The papercraft does stand without weights, but it’s always better to fill it out so it doesn’t tip over if you accidentally bump into it etc. And when the legs are filled in, glue the built torso with the legs, and there you go. The Bojji papercraft is all finished and ready to be displayed wherever you want :)

     

Hope you are enjoying the anime and the papercraft I made along with it. For any inquiry (be it buying my papercraft templates, a private commission, or tips and tricks for assembly), just write me a private note on here or any of my papercrafting pages. Enjoy and happy crafting~
