Baron Ashura (Mazinger) papercraft commission


Another character from the 50-year-old anime that I bet nobody remembers, since the original one, including this person, came out in 1972! XD Of course I am talking about the grandfather of all mecha anime that came after, the one and only “Mazinger Z” series.

*********************************** 

This unique-looking person is called “Baron Ashura”. The color-palette as well as the design is really uniquely 70s, 80s style Japanese anime, the contrasting colors as well as the unusual look really brings back nostalgia, so it was really fun designing this whole thing (as well as challenging).

The papercraft itself is a “lifesize” papercraft. I could really go crazy with the details here, more than with the normal 20-30 cm unfolds, so loved that.

The head, especially the half female, half male face is really detailed and high poly. Probably one of the highest polygon faces I have made from 0. I could make it that way, since it is unfolded to almost 2 meters, so it won’t be hard to glue together, since it’s going to be super big. But I had a lot of issues with the UV-map, since a high polygon count makes so damn messy maps to texture, so I had to sit on the face for quite a while to make it right. But I learned new skills, made something new, and the commissioner is happy with it as well (:

Needless to say, of course as ALL OF MY PAPERCRAFRS I SELL, I have modeled, posed, textured and unfolded it myself! 100% Antyyy, baby!

It’s going to be a HUUUGE thing, with many awesome details and a hella lot of work to do as well. Can’t wait to see this beast being done for the end of the year ceremony the commissioner has every time. Look forward to that and I’ll surely update the links when the preview is available.

Pikachu doll (Pokemon) papercraft


Yes, you know, I know, we all know, I cannot resist making a new Pikachu papercraft XD how can I. I LITERALLY have a Pikachu icon/stamp for all of the stuff I do and post. AND it’s the cutest and most adorable Pokemon ever made, no other opinions allowed, period, end of discussion :P

Well, since the new app “Pokemon Friends” came out a few weeks ago, I gave it a try. The game is absolute gacha nightmare pay-for-everything-in-it predatory crap 1000%, BUT the plush designs in it are really adorable!!! So, I decided to make my own version of a Pikachu doll.

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

As you know, I have a Pikachu doll as my icon ever since I started my hobby and business, but no doll to download anymore, because it was based on an actual game design of it. And I don’t do that anymore, all of my 3D models the papercrafts are based on are now always made 100% by me, mesh-polygon-texture-pose. And since I consider myself being on a different and better papercraft/designer level than I was years ago as I started, I needed to do another Pikachu doll papercraft design to make my icon make sense, at least (:

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

The papercraft is unfolded to 14 cm and has 3 pages to print out. It is loosely based off of the “Pokemon friends” design, but I wanted to make a better texture for it.

It consists of a 3D model of Pikachu with a separate 3D body, with ears, hands and feet, separate eyes buttons, a separate tag, and a separate 3D tail that fits on its back. So, you glue together the body with the tag on the side, both eyes, the 2D tag and tail separately, and then glue on the tail on its back and the eyes on the face, and it’s done.
