Ram and Rem chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft

Ram and Rem chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft

Since the anime is almost over for this season, and I already did most main characters of the anime “Re: zero” in one way or another, I had to make Ram and Rem as well, although you got many other versions of them already out and I don’t like to copy ideas and I don’t copy designs, but this is my take on them so I have the whole gang made :)

The base of these 2 models was actually taken from a Re: zero mobile game, so the textures and both models, although they are still edited and posed by me (had to re-draw some parts of the texture as well, etc.), are from there. I really wanted crisp maid textures for this to stand out, so I decided to take an official model for this.

The chibi papercraft is unfolded to 16 cm and consists of 10 pages to print, 5 for Ram and 5 for Rem. Both are basically made the same, just mirrored and I changed the textures of the hair and eyes. The papercraft, although being chibi, is actually quite detailed, so it’s not that simple to make, especially not for beginners in papercraft assembly. It has a lot of smaller pieces, and accessories to put on, so it takes time to make.

They consist of 3D chibi models of Ram and Rem, with separate 2D headbands and separate 3D buds of the headbands, separate 2D bows in the hair and on their costumes, and optional inner parts of the dress to make it look nicer. The frills at the end of the sleeves are fiddly to make, same principle as I made with the Beatrice model, and those have to be neatly folded to make them look like real frills. The neck part is the critical point, as with all of the chibi papercrafts, so that definitely has to be reinforced. The arms are also quite petite, but since it can be divided into different parts of assembly, those should not be that hard to put/glue on. And they should also stand on their own, if the legs are attached at the right angle.

Those interested in buying it, as said, send me a private note for the info. If there is a problem with the papercraft and you would want it unfolded bigger, I can also change the scale with the purchase (just write so in the note), so that shouldn’t be a problem.

I hope you like the little cuties, and hopefully we get to see another season of the anime soon :) Enjoy and happy crafting~

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) built papercraft

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) built papercraft

As promised, here is the built version of the Subaru chibi template from the anime “Re: Zero”. Isn’t he just adorable? :)))

Since the papercraft is unfolded to be 19 cm tall and actually has no real 3D hands, it’s pretty quick and easy to make.

As with all my crafts, I always start at the head. Built the face first (with the neck) and then make your way to the back of the head with the hair and 2D 2-sided hair, gluing it where it is shown in the templates. Since the 2-sided hair parts are meant to cover-up white surface, I suggest you first glue the front part of the hair and then close it at the back with the other part, so the white flaps will be between the glued together parts and they will be covered up like that. That way the head will look nice and clean. And once you get to the back, just close it with the last piece, helping yourself with the hole in the neck part, if necessary, and the head is done. All there is left are the 2 2D 2-sided ears you glue on the right sports and it’s done.

Moving on, I made the 2 arms separately first. After you have only the arms done, as you will see, the right hand doesn’t have any hand since it’s only tucked in the pocket, while the left hand has a stump and a 2D 2-sided hand in which he holds the bag. The stump, on where the simple hand is glued on, can just be glued in the already pre-made hand/sleeve by pushing it inside and gluing up the flaps before, and it sits where it should. All is left is to glue the hand on and bent/curl it slightly, so the bag can sit in the fingers.

When the arms are done, built the first half of the jacket with the collar. When you got that, glue the arms on the jacket and then slide the neck part (of the built head) inside the hole and glue it up from the inside. Let that part dry good, and when it does, use curled-up waste paper to bulk up that tiny neck of his to prevent it from snapping (it’s a chibi papercraft, so the necks are always the most difficult part, since they are so small and the head disproportionately big).

After that built the remaining jacket part and then move on to the legs. When the legs are built to the knees, be sure to glue on the simple boxy-shaped pocket so his right arm is inside the pocket and let that dry. – Pro tip: since we are dealing with a chibi papercraft, always be sure to reinforce and straighten the parts that are most vulnerable, like we did with the neck. - And since after you attach the head on the jacket, it becomes difficult to built it with the head facing upwards, so turn the papercraft upside-down and built the remaining parts till the last like that. That way the head will not weight down the body and you’ll have a simpler assembly.

All that is left is to make the last parts of the legs, and when you are about to glue on the shoes, I made it like this. Built the shoes separately (not closing the bottom part), and glue both on simultaneously. Depening on the glue you are using, this should get you enough time to adjust the angle of the shoes so Subaru can stand, so put him down on his feet and see if the angle is right and he can stand and if you found the right angle, close the bottom part of the shoes. (The papercraft stands without any help of weights that way, however you can throw in some extra weights inside his feet before closing it at the bottom, just to be sure).

All that is left is to make the simple 3D supermarket bag (which is hollow btw., as you can maybe see in the picture, and you can put small stuff in it, like I did with my fake flowers for fun XD), and there you go. Your own chibi Subaru papercraft.

I hope you like this little cutie. Since I already made the 2 girls I like most from the series, I wanted to make Subaru in a more funny angle and decided to make his chibi :) Enjoy and happy crafting~

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft

Since I spent quite some time on some characters from the anime “Re: Zero” and I am quite invested in making some chibi papercrafts, I decided to make the main male protagonist of the anime like this :) Of course, as fans of the anime know, his name in "Natsuki Subaru".

The papercraft is unfolded to be 19 cm tall and consists of 4 printable pages. The pose and idea came when I saw a chibi figurine of Subaru made like this, so I decided to make him in a similar pose and with the plastic bag from the convenience store he was “Isekai-ed” in the 1. season of the anime XD

The papercraft has a simple 3D Subaru model, with a simple 3D “boxy-like” bag (that is optional), 1 hand in a pocket and another with a simple 2D 2-sided hand that is just glued on his arm and his typical 2D 2-sided standing-out hair bangs on his head.

Along with that, I have also updated my unfold patterns to be even more logical on how and what parts to put together, so the templates come not only with the edge ID PDF files to see how to assemble them, but also with written notes and clues on what parts go together, written besides the relevant parts in the templates. Even simpler assembly, and a simple 3D chibi pattern for easy gluing together.

***This is a premium papercraft that you need to purchase in order to receive the PDF and blank PDO files for assembly. – You can find all information about the PayPal purchase in the provided upper outgoing link.***

 

The built version will soon be online as well, very soon, since I couldn’t miss out on making this little cutie myself XD So, until then enjoy and happy crafting~

Emilia (Re Zero) built papercraft

Emilia (Re Zero) built papercraft

You have seen the anime, you have seen the papercraft template, you have seen the 3D papercraft preview, BUT have you also seen the papercraft assembly? Well, now you have XD

May I introduce my latest assembled papercraft, my designed “Emilia” from the popular anime “Re: Zero”, which, if you don’t live under a rock, know that there is a new series being shown every week right now, so join the hype-train people XD Love the anime.

The template preview, which I released some time ago, can be found here btw. If you haven’t taken a look yet, just click it:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Emilia-Re-Zero-papercraft-852699382

Since the series is ongoing and I really can’t wait to see more info, especially on the 7 new witches, I decided to make Emilia to calm my nerves a bit and to enjoy and appreciate the series even more.

The papercraft is unfolded to 26 cm, so she has a comfortable height to glue together. Some small parts, but nothing dramatic really, a rather easy built, compared to some other humanoid papercrafts with fingers etc.

As with all my assemblies, I started with the face and neck. Once I had that glued, I made the olng hair and all the cute little head details, such as the 2D braid, the hairs, the 2-sided ears, AND her rose ornament. Really loved to make that, and it’s actually super easy to make, since it’s only made out of 3 different flat pieces that you just glue together and on the head. And with some minor bending of the petals, it looks like a real 3D rose. Really love the detail of this the most of all the parts.

After I got the head, I made the separate hands first. And after the hands, I made the separate arms with the sleeves. The sleeves/the purple frills are kind of fiddly, since you have to manually bend them, so they can look natural on the sleeve, so it’s a bit fiddly and time-consuming. In my assembly I made the sleeves only with a 1-sided printed color, but I added an additional color for a double-sided print of the frills in the template, so when you assemble it, the frills will be colored on the inside as well, with no extra assembly effort, since they only need to be built once. Added this later on after I already built it, so my frills don’t look as nice and purple as they could have. But they are still the right form and everything, so they still look.

When you got the sleeves and hands, you can glue them together at the right angle by just slapping on glue on the flaps of the hands and adjusting the right angle of the arms in the sleeves, and there you go. No additional effort to be super precise about it, since that part isn’t seen in the built papercraft at all. So, a real time- and nerve-saver :) And after you got the arms all joined together, I made the upper body next. I made the upper body so I could join the arms I did before on it, and build the rest of the flowing cape/dress.

When you got the upper body/torso done and when you got the head done, you can easily join them at the neck part. Simply put the neck part with the flaps inside the hole of the torso and pull a bit through, and when it’s inside, glue the flaps from the inside of the body and turn them over and glue it tightly on the body. – At this point don’t forget that there is a decorative neck-part with the 3D green crystal as well, so build those separately first, and when you are about to put together the neck and the upper body/torso, just slide that on to the neck and glue the flaps of the neck on. The neck decoration is shorter than the whole neck, so it should fit on easily and just slide it all the way back, so you have space to really firmly glue those flap parts of the neck inside the torso.

Once the glue dries a bit, I always put additional curled-up paper bits inside the neck, because it’s the smallest part and can be easily bent if not careful, so be sure to reinforce that part when you assemble it yourself (and add the small 3D crystal o

When the upper body is made, all you got to do then are the 2 skirts and the legs. I built the 2 skirts separately, and first glued the upper frilly dress on the body. The second skirt will be glued on the legs when made, because joining the whole papercraft in the hips, where the skirts meet, is 100% the easiest way to do it.

I made the legs separately, by starting from the bottom. Built the boots first and make your way upwards till you get to the underwear. Since her legs are slightly bent, I recommend putting in weights inside both of the legs. That is why I built the legs separately, and put in some small pebbles inside, so they are sturdy enough to carry the weight of the upper body.

Once you have the legs with the weights inside, glue the second wavy dress on the underwear flaps first, and then glue the same flaps with the upper body inside the skirt. Again, since the parts are not visible with the finished papercraft, just slap that glue on and adjust it together at the right angle. And there you go, all done.

One of the easiest papercrafts I have done recently, so it was really refreshing making her. And she looks adorable, of course :) Sadly I got to say that the Beatrice papercraft I also made out of the Re: Zero series is bigger than Emilia (since I did make her bigger because of all the details), so they don’t fit together 1:1, but I still got 2 characters done from the anime, so that’s a win for me.

I hope you like her and that it gave you some inspiration to try yourself at papercrafting. Happy crafting everybody~

Beatrice (Re: Zero) built papercraft

Beatrice (Re: Zero) built papercraft

This is it people! The pinnacle of this year’s papercrafts I have assembled myself and probably THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND DIFFICULT thing I have ever made (although it’s only the beginning of January 2021 XD). I love this one so much, and she is definitely at the top of my papercraft designer’s life goals so far! --- Plus, maybe some of you noticed, she was the only one missing from my newly released banner that was made to synchronize each and every papercraft page/site of mine and that was shown as a small sneak-peek for the now released assembly.

I have spent 3-ish days to make her, so she is really the most complicated thing that I literally spent gluing 1 flap at a time, to make her smooth as silk and figurine-like as possible. And the outcome is really great. BUT she is a challenge to make, a 9/10 of difficulty, definitely. So, I will explain the assemble process a bit to maybe give you some tips if you are thinking of making her for yourselves:

 
As with 99% of papercrafts I built, I started at the top, making the face first, piece by piece. Once that was finished, I glued on the front hairpiece on the flaps, and made the back part of the head and the neck.

Next, I made the little petite swirls/twirls of hair, which have some points to hold together the form and that you glue, and made sure to put some flat wire in it, so it will hold on. I do suggest to put something in between the 2-sided swirls so it holds on the head, because it’s just glued on like that. So, my solution was to cut small incisions on the head where it needed to stand, and put the wire inside the head and glued it with tape from the inside. If done neatly, the wire doesn’t show and you get nice compact swirls of hair that will stick on for the rest of your life, 100% :)

Then I build the small crown and glued it on her head, added the 2-sided ears and the head was finished. Once I had that, I made my way to make the 2 arms, since it’s always fiddly to make fingers. I made the arms and made the inner side of the sleeves, that are glued to the arms. Then, I made the outer sleeves with the pink frills, and simply glued the inner part of the sleeves with the hands, on the inside, and you got yourselves hands with frills. That is a small shortcut you can make to make this built easier, and it definitely makes a difference in speed and precision as well, since you can adjust it the way it fits.

After I had the arms, I made the upper torso of the body, glued on the head and the arms. Next you need to make the remaining part of the torso, making sure you build it from the middle to the outside, because the middle part has frills, that need to be glued on extra. And on those frills, you then glue the torso stripes around the body, and on the already glued parts. Then come the upper parts of the dress, and the upper half of Beatrice is almost assembled.

Why almost, because you need to assemble the cape part that you just put on like that separately. Not really hard to do, but be sure to make it neatly, since the cape shows at the end and it needs to look its part. It also has those 2D poms for deco, so I glued those on at the very end, where I already put the coat over the shoulders.

Btw. the cape doesn’t need to be glued on the shoulders, since it holds it form like that, but I do suggest you glue it together with a small point of glue at the front where the pom comes, so it looks neat.

After this part only come parts that can be built separately and glued on the main torso part, and that are only really time-consuming, because the pink frills need to be neatly folded to fit on.

In any case, I made my way to make the bottom dress, making sure to know how the dress folds with the frills, so they actually look like frills. And after that the feet, which are again maybe a bit smaller to make, but since I was building those from bottom to top and you have the hole at the end where you need to glue it together, it’s actually easy to assembled because of that.

I do suggest if you are doing to build it, you follow these steps and make the legs separate, because it’s easier and at the end, if you see that it maybe will not stand or anything, you can add small pebbles or gravel inside the legs, so they stand really firmly. Since she has support from the bottom part of the dress, weights are really not necessary, but you never know.
In any case, once all the parts are assembled, glue the bottom dress on first to the top dress part of the torso, and at the end glue the legs at the waist part, making sure to adjust the angle to make her firmly stand that way.

And all that was left to do at that point are the extra books, which are add-ons if you would like her to look like she is in her library. I made all of them. 11 books in total (10 normal simply boxy ones, 1 open book) and her extra empty gospel book that she holds in her hands. The gospel is blank, since it was also blank in the anime, but you can write or draw in whatever you want really, I just left it blank. And since it is made that way, and you can see in the pictures, the book actually stands alone in her hands, without needing to glue it on. They are hooked in her hands like that, and does not fall off.

At the end, there are also a few 3D bows to put together, in her hair, and the bottom dress, and once you have those, the papercraft is finished.

Mostly the papercraft is hard to make because it needs so much time to be assembled, because it has many extras and fiddly things. Also, the torso part where you need to glue together upper torso with the extra glue-on frills at the middle, the hands and the head with the twirls are very fiddly to do, so you need extra patience for that. Plus, I suggest to reinforce the neck part with extra paper on the inside, especially if you want to glue on the twirly hair at the end, so the head doesn’t sink in with too much applied pressure for that.

There she is really, a pink beauty, waiting to be swept away from her books and out into the world. I really can’t wait to see her in the January season now and how the hell they are going to get out of that mess they made, damn. It’s a complicated plot XD

The template info can be found here:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Beatrice-Re-Zero-papercraft-858353553

I dare everybody to try to make her, it is definitely one of the most satisfying builds once you get there. This one will be displayed in my own showcase at home for years to come.

I hope you like her and appreciate the work that got into making this so neatly, I am really proud of her. If you have any questions or anything regarding papercrafts, you can always write a comment bellow, give feedback, post any extra wishes that I can maybe get around making, or write me in a private note.

Enjoy the view, to a great next Re: Zero season and happy crafting~

Beatrice (Re: Zero) papercraft

Beatrice (Re: Zero) papercraft

As you guessed in my second »Guess the character/series« post correctly, I have made “Beatrice” from the anime “Re: Zero” this time.

This is another one of my “New Generation” ultra HD and precise papercraft, as I already did and announced with my Ryza Stout papercraft. Now, since she is from an anime, the textures in anime are usually more “flat” looking and it may seem as though she is not as detailed and well textured and Ryza, BUT she takes up a whooping 10 different texture maps, so believe me, SHE IS XD. That means 10 different detailed textures with all the details of her dress that I probably again made in 1 weeks’ worth of work with a few hours of texturing and modeling a day. I assure you, she is as crisp if not more than Ryza, and she should be 95% accurate as in the anime, be it in parts of her dress, her color-scheme or pose, 100% reference from the second season of Re: Zero (if you didn’t watch it, better do, because it’s really awesome).

Part of me wanting to do this papercraft was because she is shown in a totally different light in the 2. season and I really have sympathy for her story and fate and what she is doing and why (don’t want to spoil anything too much for those not watching the season). And the other part being that she has so much dress details on her and I love her character silhouette and hair, because it reminds me of my natural curls as well XD (no, my hair does not look like THAT, but I have natural curls since forever and I like them).

Since she is so detailed and since I am really proud of her as well, I unfolded her to a bigger 27 cm height scale, with the unfold being 29 pages with the extra book preps, and 21 pages if you only want to assemble Bea with her book in her hands.

She is made out of a 3D attached body, with a lot of extras and optional 2-sided sleeves, 2-sided braids and her 2-sided dress.

She also has, as already said, separately made 3D prep books (since she basically lives in her library and only reads books), that are a really simple boxy shape and you just glue the 2D covers on like that, and a special separate 3D book of hers called her “Gospel” that she carries in her hands, which has intentional blank pages as in the original. The gospel book, again, is 100% accurate, textured from the anime references, while the other random books in the background have textures that I chose to make randomly to fit in the scene.

Her bows are actually 2D that you bent to a 3D look and you just glue them together at the side parts and then on the body, so although it looks like those have a LOT of small details, they are really simple and easy to make.

The fingers and feet may be a bit fiddly, but since she has a really large dress around her waist that goes to her feet, she stands 100% even with those small feet with high-heels, since she has double support from the rim of the dress and the feet as well. Same can be said about the frills on her dress, not really hard to do, but very time-consuming all in all. But worth the assembly :)

Another feature are her simple 2D braids that you just glue on her head. For this I suggest to make the braids first and separately after you have done all of the 3D head parts of her and put them on last. The braids have some small flaps to glue the braids together on each layer, so it stands firmly as it should and the braids will not lose their form if they hang. Once you have the braids (with either just 1 braid or the optional 2-sided part glued on for better color as well), you cut a small line along the head where the hair should go and glue the flap on the inside of the head. Once it is glued on the inside of the head, you can reinforce it with tape or anything like that, and they should stand 100% firmly. Another tip for the hair is to use wires in them on the first tier of the braids so it also stands and you can glue the overhanging wire on the inside of the head with a small incision as well. That should stand 200% then :) and you got the option to move the braids to any angle.

And of course, since it’s a HD ultra-detailed papercraft, you also get to see the 3D papercraft preview here:

Enjoy the 3D preview and do take a closer look to see how gorgeous she is, and hopefully I will have time to assemble her myself and make pictures of her as well.

In the meantime, happy crafting everybody~
