It’s the 30th POKEMON ANNIVERSARY!!!
30 years of Pokemon games, anime, merch and everything around these cute little feisty critters. These so-called pocket monsters have been the sole reason I have even started building papercrafts in the first place and then designing them myself. I wanted a whole room full of Pikachu figurines all for myself and in those days, it was very hard getting any merch of it and it was even pricier to buy them anywhere, and just making a Pikachu out of printed paper was simply magic in its own right.
Pokemon are a huge cornerstone of the papercraft community and even if I absolutely despise Nintendo (and subsequently GameFreak that pulls with them in the end) and do not agree on anything they have been doing in the last few years, it doesn’t change that Pokemon non-the-less have had and always will have a huge chunk of my heart and soul.
And because I wanted to celebrate this day, whatever they have planned on releases and sneak-peeks, I wanted to make a really pretty and awesome papercraft for all of you Pokemon fans out there!
*****************
I present to you the Fakemon Mega Meloetta!
It is based on the actual mythical Pokemon Meloetta in its Aria and Pirouette Forme, but with made-up mega evolutions for both of them.
The whole concept and reference picture comes from the awesome @VIKworks (https://www.deviantart.com/vikworks) which made both of these amazing-looking ideas and concepts. They were so awesome and allowed me to take their idea/illustration and make them into papercraft figures so everybody can print them out and make them for themselves to enjoy. Please go visit their pages on here and on their other social media sites and look at the cool work they are doing and leave a nice comment or 10 for them as well! Thank you very much again from me as well (;
**************************************
The papercraft is unfolded to 20 cm and have 8 pages to print for both (with 3 + 3 double-sided print pages for colored inner sides for their hair and dresses).
It consists of 2 mega evolution Meloetta Fakemon: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Both forms have 3D bodies (with closed or open eye options and with various add-ons), simple 2-sided 2D hair and 2 separate simple 3D stands.
*Note: They do not stand on their own, especially the Pirouette Forme, so I have included 2 stands for them, so you can reinforce the legs with wire and weights, so they can stand. Both papercrafts also have very small parts and thin limbs, so they are harder to make.
*****************
***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 ***
**************************************
Hope you enjoy 30 years of Pokemon by making a cute Mega Meloetta or 2 for yourselves as well. Hope I get to see some of them assembled and shared online, I would love to see them being made!
Enjoy and happy crafting~
