Gatomon and Patamon (Digimon) papercraft



I got into the Digimon universe again and wanted to make an actual Digimon papercraft again of my fav ones, but this time 100% with my own model/texture (since I did start my career with some Digimon crafts I made, but they were based off of actual 3D models from the game, so I removed those).

So, I thought it would be nice group papercaft design to make Gatomon and Patamon, my 2 absolute fav, cutest, most adorable and awesome Digimon in season 1 and 2 combined XD Did I also mention they are both holy Digimon as well? So cute, with cool digivolutions AND awesomely powerful at the same time :3

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

The papercraft is unfolded to a height of 20 cm and has 8 pages to print out (for both of them together). It consists of a 3D Gatomon/Tailmon and a 3D Patamon.

The design/pose idea is from some recent chibi figurines of the Digimon series, so both of them sit on their little bums and are looking at each other adorably (:

Since they are sitting, they both stand and won’t tip over, so extra weight is not needed for the assembly. However, some parts may be a bit smaller to make, such as Gatomons ears/tail and Patamons fingers on his arms and legs.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Parrot monitor sitter built papercraft


As you maybe remember, I have made a series of »monitor sitter« animal papercrafts that are basically papercrafts you can make to put on your flatscreens and have them there for decoration or moral support, if you will:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Parrot-monitor-sitter-papercraft-974857391

They fit on any flatscreen on your PC screen, laptop, kindle, tablet, smartphone and even on vases, boxes or jars with slimmer rims, so you can decorate whatever you want with them. But basically, I made them to fit my laptop, so I could wedge them on my own PC :3

And since I have finally had the time to assemble them, here are the preview pictures on how they look like built and some tips for anybody wanting to make them for yourself.

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

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

Whatever animal you assemble from this series, they are basically made the same way: built from top to bottom.

Build the crest first (for the cockatiel version), build the beak separately, then the head, glue the pre-made beak inside the head, then the body, the 3D tail, and only after you have all of the body parts, take the inner clamp side, pre-bend it, put glue on the leftover flaps of the body, and slide & glue the clamp part inside the body and close it up that way. Lastly, you can glue on the 2D 2-sided wings and the 2D feet.

That’s how I made all of my crafts you see and this is probably the simplest way to get this done and assembled.

***

NOTE: The papercraft includes all 4 colors, the gray and light gray cockatiel and a green and blue budgie that you can choose or build all 4 of them.

Friend 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 Friend 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.

Shampoo (Ranma 1/2) papercraft


As you maybe remember, I already did some older Ranma½ papercrafts in reference of the old 1989 anime. You can see the old designs I made in a preview here:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Ranma-1-2-papercraft-remakes-1146197007

And since the new remake anime came out, I decided to also remake my old papercrafts of the main characters in their glorious, fresh new looks!

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

This is my new Shampoo papercraft from the anime Ranma½.

The papercraft is unfolded to 26 cm and has 5 pages to print out. The papercraft consists of a 3D model of Shampoo, a simple 3D model of Shampoo in her cat form, optional 3D and 2D hand versions and 3 simple ramen bowls full of ramen.

The papercraft stands on 2 feet, but it would be better to additionally reinforce the legs when assembled, so it can’t tip over that easily.

*NOTE: The papercraft was made before the new season remake could show the Shampoo cat design they are going to make, so I made the cat version based on how I think she will look, and not based on official releases, since they are not out yet.
