Long Miku (Hatsune Miku) papercraft commission

Long Miku (Hatsune Miku) papercraft commission

A somewhat weird papercraft commission this was XD tough I think she looks kinda cute her own way. This is a reference to 1 internet post ages ago, about a 3D print of this very long-limbed Hatsune Miku figure you can see in the picture, and that the commissioner wanted to be made into a papercraft template. Well, since I say anything can be made into a papercraft, I did just that, and her she is!

********************** 

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 38 cm and has 8 pages to print out.

It consists of a 3D model of Miku with 3D hair tails. The sleeves are also hollow and don’t have any arms inside, but the overall figure is quite fiddly to make, because it has very thin limbs that need reinforcing. The tail parts on the bottom do serve as extra anchors to hold her upright, so overall it should stand nicely with weights inside the legs.

Each 2D part also has a double-sided print page, so the colors are also seen on the inside of the hair and her skirt, for a PVC-figurine-like look.

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

The base of the 3D hair tails converges to 2D parts at the bottom. The tails would be too complicated to make in full 3D, since this is a papercraft and not a printed figure. Buildability is most important, since at the end of the day, it needs to be able to be put together with printed paper parts.

This is all part of the commissions, where you need to be knowledgeable enough to tell the commissioner the best solution to the things they want made, yet still uphold the overall visuals they want to get with them. It takes years of experience, but I’m there, and I explain everything along the way with each project like this. Everything is done in dialogue with the commissioner, as it should be (: So, even projects like PVC figures can be made into papercrafts, if you have an idea like that for your own project.

Dark Pretty Cure (PreCure) papercraft

Dark Pretty Cure (PreCure) papercraft

So, from all of the over 100 different Pretty Cure/PreCure designs in the last 20 years you can think of, who do you think is the coolest and most badass character of them all? …OBVOUSLY ITS DARK PRECURE, ddduhhhhh, no other answers are correct, period! XD

Dark Precure, for me, is the pinochle of anime design, especially with MadHouse animating the Heartcatch Precure series then, which also made Casshern Sins. The animation is J-U-S-T S-O G-O-O-D, it’s a masterpiece. And the overall series is so dark, and people actually dying in the story!!! So badass, I love it forever and ever.

And those of you out there know, I already made a papercraft design of her waaaay back when I visited Japan for the second time (I visited waaay before it was cool and they started hating gaijin, so calm down copycats XD). But, as stated in my cleanup project 3.0, I have deleted the old design of her, because it wasn’t good and my skills gotten way better since, so I had to make the most ultimate badass papercraft figure to honor Dark Precure and her amazing badass look! And here she is, in all of her black, dark, demonic glory!

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

Moving on to the papercraft itself, it is about 23 cm tall (with stand) and has 6 pages to print out (1 of them being an optional double-sided print page). Wanted to make her big but not too big. She has a 3D body with a separate 3D magic stick, a 3D bow at the back, her 3D dark demon-like wing (which you will definitely have to put together with wire in it to make it stand, or reinforce it another way), a 3D stand for her and some overall 2D two-sided parts to really make it shine.

I put special care into making the texture really stand out and pop out. I really wanted to pay tribute to her character, since I love her so much XD and I have always had her 3D PVC Figma figure from Japan on my desk. True peak anime design at its best!
