Strange ball (Pokemon) papercraft



Decided to do a whole bunch of different life-size box Poke ball designs and I made a LOT, since I had so much fun making them XD so from now on, you’ll get to probably see at least 1-2 Poke ball papercrafts posted on my site for a long, long time.

They range from the normal in-game designs, to exclusive Pokemon designs I made up as OC’s. They are all relative in height, about 11 cm (not including the stand and the ears and accessories, if they have any), so they all fit together as a bunch. I made them as life-size Pokemon-themed boxes, since they can open and close like a box with a lid and they all have optional double-sided print pages for a colored inner side, so the box looks neater when built. The 2 buttons in the front are separate 3D parts glued on the front. They also all have optional stands, so you can place them inside and they don’t roll away.

*Note that all of them are more challenging to make, are more detailed and have smaller or thinner parts, so I do not recommend any of them to beginners. I think these are best suited for intermediate and experienced papercrafters, but who am I to say what you can and cannot do (;

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

This is the Strange ball design papercraft box. It is unfolded to 16 cm (11 cm of the actual Poke ball height) and has 4 pages to print out (3 of them being double-sided).

The preview picture shows the unfolded Poke ball template that stands apart a bit, so it is easier to assemble with the inner part shown, but you can also see the closed preview and how it looks, just so you know how it looks closed.

Ranma 1/2 papercraft remakes


The new Ranma½ was recently released and a new season 2 has been announced for the future as well. A huge hit for all the older slapstick anime fans, since the old frames and resolutions are really starting to hurt the eyes with all of the HD 16:16 screen resolution animations now being released XD

So, what better time to release a remake of my older Ranma papercrafts I have made way back in 2019! (I know, I know, I should have released these way sooner, when the anime still aired, but you know, life happens, and a day still only has 24 hours)

In the upper line you can see my old released main character from the series I made back in 2019 and that I did in reference to the original 1989 released anime. And in the lower line you can see the still hidden silhouettes of the new remake papercrafts of the same characters, but in reference of the new 2024 anime release.

***********

I normally don’t release any previews of stuff I am working on and the process, but I am really looking forward to update the old ones I did and make them really look good and on the actual high level of detail I do now with my papercrafts.

Subsequently, of course, I have removed the older designs of Ranma from my Ko-fi shop and I will only be selling the new remakes when I re-release them. 

I like to show some remakes when I do get to make them, so you can really see the progress of the work and skill I put into my 3D models and unfolded papercrafts. All in the span of 5-6 years.

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

I wonder how the look like and if they actually look better than the old ones I did? Hmmmm, guess you’ll have to find out when I start releasing them in the coming weeks (:

Hope you look forward to the reveals of the new looks and that they will be as crisp and HD as the new anime as well.

Enjoy and happy crafting~
