Chihiro (Spirited Away) papercraft



One of Hayao Miyazaki's (or studio Ghibli) best movies is, hands-down, Spirited Away. It is THE anime movie that made me look more in debt into the anime and Japanese culture in general, and I never looked back since :) And I know people just love all the scene with Chihiro and Haku in his dragon-form (which I also did years back), but one of my personal favorite scenes is in the bathhouse, where Kaonoashi (No-Face) shows up and wants to give her gifts and she flat-out refuses to take them! That’s my girl!


So, I decided to make a diorama from that bathhouse scene and make it into a papercraft. And this is it :)

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

The papercraft itself is unfolded to a height of 24 cm and has 14 pages to print (with all the optional parts). It consists of a 3D model of Chihiro in her pink jinbei, a 3D Kaonashi with a separate pile of gold to fit into his hands, the 3D background diorama of the onsen, and a separate bucket and brushes and tokens for Chihiro for decoration that fits the scene. Both Chihiro and Kaonashi also have 3D as well as simpler 2D hands to make, so you can decide which ones to use to make the assembly easier.

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

*** This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDFs and blank, locked PDO file for assembly. – You can buy and download the template here:


You can view all of my available premium papercrafts that are for sale on my Ko-fi page:

Hope you like it! Really wanted to make it look and feel as 100% from the anime with all the details and I put a lot of effort into this.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Arana (Genshin) FREE papercraft



Summer started and I wanted to sweeten up the hot and sweaty days coming with some FREE papercrafts everybody can enjoy. And I thought, why not make some cute “Genshin Impact” crafts, because everybody loves that game. And I did some of the most popular Aranara and I will be releasing a few of them each week to come so you can directly download and assemble them from my Patreon :)

*******************************
This papercraft is from the Aranara called “Arana”. It is unfolded to 20 cm and has 4 pages to print.

NOTE: The feathers do need to be additionally reinforced with some wire or similar, to make it stand firmly, because it’s just a 2D 2-sided part.

Also note that some parts might not be 100% accurately textured as they look in the game, because I did these with reference pictures only, since none of them are available as 3D models. So, if they don’t look completely the same as in the game, I am sorry and I hope you still find them fun to assemble and super cute, as I do :)

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

*** This is a FREE papercraft that you can download for free on my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/antyyyspapercrafts.

If you assemble any of them, please share the finished papercraft pictures in a post, a shared link, a tag to my page, or send pictures to me, so I can post them on my page. I am always happy to see anybody assembling my art :)***

*No worries, the files are 100% accessible for FREE, without needing to an account, a subscription or anything (as are all of my FREE papercrafts I post). Just click the link, find the post of the version you want to build, click on the files, and there they are.

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

And you can now also view it is a 3D preview on Sketchfab (it's shown the same way as the 3D preview in the PDO/Pepakura file:


Enjoy and happy crafting~

Megumin (KonoSuba) papercraft commission



Another papercraft commission I can share. As you can probably see, this is Megumin from the anime »Kono subarashii sekai ni shukufuku o« or »KonoSuba« for short. A really popular slapstick format, so of course people are also interested in papercrafts of the main character, and here is how they can look like if I make them.

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

The results are 2 different Megumin papercraft models I made, one of the normal older Megumin and one of her younger child-self. The normal Megumin one has a 3D model of her body and then a separate simple 3D hat, a 3D staff, her 2D 2-sided cape and some add-ons. The younger Megumin has a 3D model of her body and then a separate 3D bomb and her 2D 2-sided cape. The normal one is supposed to be 30 cm tall, so all in all it is unfolded to 35 cm, so the younger version is about 26 cm tall.

Both have such poses so they are able to stand. The hair is more detailed and has many layers, so it actually looks fuller and fluffy, even though she has really short hair. The hat and staff are also removable and the capes are optional parts.

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

*** 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.

If you are interested in a paid commission, or have any questions regarding my commissions and the general process, you can read about those here:


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

Showing this papercraft because I am really happy with the result. And I am also showing it because people can see what they can commission for themselves, if they want a custom papercraft/3D model made as well.

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

Hope you like these cuties and I also hope I get to see assembly pictures and I get to share them on here for you to see.

Enjoy and happy crafting~
