Starry Sky Witch OC built papercraft

Long time ago I made the OC witch-elf:

and I finally managed to make the assembly of her :) So you know the drill, here come the tips & tricks to build her.

******************** 

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

With any of my papercrafts, you can divide the assembly into separate parts: the head with the 2 tails, the hat, the arms, the upper torso, the mascot Dust (Sky) Bunny, the legs, the boots, and the dress.

If we start with the head, you assemble the face and neck first. Then you glue on the front hair and last the back hair. Then you need to assemble the hair tails separately and leave those for later.

Next you can separately build the 2 arms, which are sleeves-only (YAY XD I hate making 3D hands). When you got those, set them aside and start gluing together the torso around the shoulders. When you have all these parts, glue on the first few rows of the torso on the head and neck part you did before, then glue on the 2 sleeves and build the rest of the torso to the belly part where the dress is supposed to start.

Now that you have the upper torso, we come back to the 2 tails. The easiest way to do these: Put glue on the flaps of the 2 tails and place them inside the hole. Additionally, to that, *pro-tip: you reinforce the tail from the inside by taping in wire in the 2 tails and then when the glue dries, you tape the end part of the wires inside the head with tape as well. This way, the tails will hold 200% and you don’t need to worry about making them in the beginning and attaching them on the model, since they would be in the way.

Next step is to make the dress part separately and after you have that, put glue on the flaps and glue it inside the torso part.

Set this now aside and move to the legs. You do this part by assembling the legs from bottom to top and finish with the buttocks part. And when you have this part done, glue the legs on the pre-made separate boots at the right angle. Then glue all the leg part inside the dress part again and the 3D figure is done. I also suggest adding some weights inside the boots to make her stand nicely.

All that is left is to add the add-ons, the 3D bunny and the hat. The hat is really easy to make and you don’t need to glue it on, as you can see. It holds just fine on its own on the head. Same goes for the 3D bunny ball that you can either glue on the hat, or move around for fun or pose it anywhere else you like :P

Starry Sky Witch OC papercraft

Starry Sky Witch OC papercraft

Another different papercraft inspiration I got. I saw a nice anime AI and got the art muse flowing and wanted to make an original anime girl character and this is what came out. It is supposed to be an OC elf witch, so I called her “Starry Sky Witch”. Since her element is the sky, I wanted to make a universe-themed gown in shades of blue and black. And she also has a little familiar on her hat, the blue wobbly Sky bunny :)

             

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 23 cm and has 7 pages to print out. It consists of a 3D model of the witch, as well as some add-ons, such as her 3D sky bunny familiar, her 2D earrings, the pointy ears, etc.

I really wanted to make her the most gorgeous elf, so I did her hair in 2 really long tails that drag to the ground, so additionally to her 2 feet holding her up, you also have her hair in the back to make her stand. So, no need for weights for this one.

The hat is also separate and can be take off, as an interactive, optional part, as well as the sky bunny on her hat.

Took my time with this one and the dress alone has 4 different UV-maps, so I could really draw out all the star/universe details on there and make it super neat. I absolutely love the color-scheme on this one, and the color for the eyes really make her cute face stand out. I just love her; she is really gorgeous.

For the assembly itself, the fiddly part would be the head, but you can add the 2D, 2-sided hair tails at the end to make it simpler. She also doesn’t have any fingers/hands, since they are hidden in her huge sleeves, so that makes the assembly also easier. And then, you also have layers of the dress, so you can divide the papercraft build itself into many smaller, separate parts you just glue together at the end, so it should be a really fun assembly (but all of this is visible in the purchased blank PDO file you get along the other files anyway, so no fear or worries about the details, it’s all there and clear to see).

Hope you like my Starry Sky Witch and can’t wait to show the assembled pictures of the cutie in the future as well.
