Female Ranma (Ranma 1/2) built papercraft


Already posted my female Ranma papercraft template:

And now it’s time to give you some pro-tips on how to make life simpler when building her yourself. Let’s go.

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

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

 With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the hair, the 2 arms, the upper torso with the sleeves and kimono dress, the bucket with water, and the legs with the shoes.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair, and lastly close it with the back hair. After this, you can glue on the 2D ears and 2-sided braid.

Next, you can separately build the 2 arms, with either the 2D or 3D hands (*Note that I did the preview pics with the 2D version of the hands). When you got those, set them aside and start gluing together the 2 sleeves first separately, then the upper torso. When you have the upper torso, glue the sleeves inside those and make the rest of the torso and dress. Only when you have this done and the torso glued together with the head, only then press the pre-made hands inside to glue them on the right angle inside the sleeves. And the torso is done.

And lastly, the legs. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top and finish with the buttocks part. This means, build the shoes first, glue the leg from there upwards till you come to the butt. If you want her to stand nicely, best put some weights inside the legs before gluing it together.

All that is left is to do is to glue these parts now together. Glue the legs’ part inside the dress, making sure to glue them at the right angle, so the figure can stand comfortably. Glue together the simple bucket and put or glue in in her hands. And it's finished.

*Note: The papercraft preview is made with 2D hands. The files for printing-out have both the 2D and 3D hand versions, so you can choose which ones to make.

Okami papercraft


As you have maybe guessed from the sneak peeks:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/status-update/Now-you-have-seen-all-1223719606

I was doing a huge Okami papercraft project. And now that it is finished, I can finally show you the result (:

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

Been replaying the game and fell in love with it all over again, the art style, the gimmicks, the fighting style, the character, I love ALL OF IT. It is simply a masterpiece of a game, and I can’t wait to see what they are going to do with the sequel they are making and that was revealed some time ago. It will probably still take a while for it to come out, so why not shorten the hype of a new Okami game with a papercraft or 2. And that’s exactly why I made it!

I really took my time making it, trying to do the unique art style justice with the 3D model, and really include all of my favorite weapons as optional add-ons, so you can choose whatever ones you prefer.

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

The wolf papercraft itself is probably 12 cm tall and with all the options it has, all in all, 18 pages to print.

It consists of a 3D model of Amaterasu and a Shiranui skin, a 3D stand with grass a ton of simple flowers to glue on to make them stand out, and her various weapons: her basic reflector, the Solar flare, the Infinity judge, the Snarling beast, the Seven strike, the Thunder edge, and my fav, the Tsumugari.

Each of the add-on weapons has a simple white stand you can glue them on so it fits on the back, however pro-tip: I do suggest attaching the weapon on the back either with wire or magnets, so it really looks as if it is floating in the air. The weapons aren’t heavier as Amaterasu herself, so they will stand nicely on her with wire.

Really enjoying the replay of Okami HD and can’t wait for that sequel to drop in the future as well. It will probably be a game I HAVE to play on release date, because I can’t wait for it! So excited!!

I hope you love the game and the lore as much as I adore it and you assemble the papercraft as well.

Enjoy and happy crafting~
