White Blood Cell / Hakkekkyuu built papercraft

White Blood Cell / Hakkekkyuu built papercraft

Since we started this year’s anime season with not 1 but 2 different seasons of "Hataraku Saibou" or "Cells at Work", I thought I would make the last one of my Hataraku designs that was left for me to build, and this is "Hakkekkyuu" or "White Blood Cell" :)

I wanted to build the original one, since I made the design with 2 different textures, so I had to make the blood-splatter one, ‘coz it’s just too funny XD I love how he’s always so hyped to kill those bacteria and viruses, so this one was the one I wanted to display XD

I started off by making the cap first really, since I love these small cappies and I wanted to play with it and put it on my other papercrafts and anime figurines XD damn I am allowed some fun ;P (The cap is detachable and fits on the head without glue, so you don’t need to glue it on, and you can play with it and take it on and off if you wish, just like me :D I am a big kid, what can I say). After I got that out of my system, I made the face with the neck first, same procedure as always, and from there made my way back attaching all the hair on it.

When the head was finished, I made the 2 separate hands, and then the arms. Once you have the arms, you can just glue the hands inside of them, since the inside where it’s glued together is not visible at the end, so it’s simpler that way. Just pick the right angle for them and glue them together. Once I had the arms, I made the upper torso part with the white jacket. On the jacket came the arms, and once the upper torso is made, you attach the pre-built head on it from the inside of the torso, making it nice and neatly closed. Always, after I have such humanoid papercrafts, I reinforced the inner neck part with rolled-up paper bits, so it was sturdy and the head doesn’t knick-in.

Once you got the upper body, you can make the separate legs with the boots. Same procedure here, since it’s easier to start from the bottom with feet, I first made the 2 boots, and then the legs. After I got the legs done, simply put glue on the end flaps of the feet and glue the boots on like that (same principle as with the hands, since the part where they are glued together is not seen at the end).

Once the boots and legs are glued together, you can put some additional weights into the legs if you so wish, but it was sturdy enough to stand as it was, so I didn’t put any in and just glued the legs onto the previously made upper body with the head, and the main body with the pose was done.

The only fiddly parts are now the additional 2D parts and the 3D knives. The knives are actually the fiddliest part of the papercraft, since Hakkekkyuu is unfolded to about 33 cm and there are no real fiddly small parts on the main 3D body, not even the fingers, since they are really big and easy to put together. So, the knives are the time-consuming part where you need the concentration. The handles are 3D, so those need to be put neatly together. All in all, there are 4 knives, 2 on his back in the holsters, and 2 in his hands. Once you got those pesky little handles together, you glue the 2-sided 2D knife blades together, glue them, and glue the end part on the 3D holster. Since the edge of the 2D blade would show, I made small straight incisions with my scalpel and glued the end parts of them inside the 3D handle. That way you don’t have the edge seam and it looks like a real blade. When I did that with all 4 of them, you can put the knives in place. The knives stand in his hands if you build them tight enough, so there is no need to glue any of the 4 on him, but you can do so in the hands so they don’t fall off.

And at the end all that is left are the simple 3D holsters for the knives, the 2D shoelaces, the 2D pockets and all the 2D belts around his body. Those should be the finishing touches, since else you can’t glue those on right unless you got the whole White Blood Cell’s body glued together.

And there you go, a fully functional White Blood Cell assembled papercraft XD I think he looks originally malicious, and the poses where he attacks are really funny, so I had to do it in that pose.

Emma (Yakusoku no Neverland) papercraft

Emma (Yakusoku no Neverland) papercraft

Who doesn't love this thrilling and amazing anime “Yakusoku no Neverland” or translated “The promised Neverland”? I think it’s one of the top 100 on my list, and since there is the second season currently going on, and I got a credit to use on Sketchfab XD (I can upload only one 3D preview per month), it’s a perfect opportunity to release the main heroin of the series, called “Emma”.

The papercraft is unfolded to 25 cm and has 6 pages to print. It’s a humanoid papercraft, meaning that the fingers and head will be fiddly to make, but since she has a dress and a long shirt, it can be made in at least 4 separate parts (as I would make it, since it’s easier), which will make your life assembling this really simpler :D

The craft consist of a main 3D body of Emma, and a lot of parts for her bushy big hair. Since she has to look the part, the hair locks that are standing around the head are glued between the head parts, making the head probably the most time-consuming part of the assembly. Other than that, you have a standing collar, the typical harmonica dress, that has to be folded to look the part, and some additional 2D shoelaces for the feet. Overall, I would say a 6/10, the head being the fiddliest part.

Else, she stands 100%, since both feet are on the ground and you can balance her in the hip part, where you join the upper body with the feet. I will try to make the assembly myself, have to see how much time I got to spare. Else, I hope some of you are brave enough to try to assemble her yourself and that I get to see some fans of the anime as well ;)

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:

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~

Bird flock (Simple Version) built papercraft

Bird flock (Simple Version) built papercraft

Since these are assembled and built simple version papercrafts of my “Bird flock” project, these are really easy to do and super-fast. Each one of these birds took me less than 1 hour to make (including cutting out the pieces) and there are 8 in total, if you want to make all of the flock. Those include: 2 cockatiels at 16 cm height (including their crest), 2 lovebirds with 10 cm, 2 budgies with 9 cm and 2 finches with 8 cm of height.

Since they are super easy to do and done in no time, I also recommend these for children to build, if you want to get them interested in papercrafts. They are fast to make and fun to play with, so give it a try with your little ones if you want.

All of them are basically made the same wax, you just make the separate 3D boxy body and close it and since it has a hole on the bottom, it’s really simple to close. And don’t forget to fold the tail and the feet outwards, so it looks right. After that, you make the separate 3D beak, and then the separate 2D wings, which are then just glued on the body like that, and you have yourself cute little borbs ;)

I am a huge bird/parrot fan, so these have a special place in my office/work room, and I hope there are bird lovers out there that think they are cute as well and that will assemble them, so I get to see some birbs all around the internet soon ;)

Happy New Year~ Last post of the year 2020

Happy New Year~ Last post of the year 2020

Hello people of the papercraft universe :) Writing a bit early since I am gone for actual New Year and will not be on my PC, but this is the actual last post of the year 2020! AND IT’S ABOUT FREAKING TIME!!!

As already said with my Christmas wishes, the year has been pure crap, and thank hell it’s over soon. We can only hope the next one will actually bring us something good. No matter what you went through this year, shit politicians, corrupt governments, broken and trampled-on human rights, taken away freedom, lives lost, disease, fear, depression and psychical trauma, and not matter what “side” you are on with this pandemic, let’s not all forget that we are in this together. Quite literally, since we all live on the same planet really. And I think that’s the most important thing to learn from all of this. So, let’s try to skip the negative, internet trolling, bashing, badmouthing and judging others, and let’s try to set a positive attitude with the people living on the same planet as us. If not for them, do it for your own inner health and peace, because at the end of the day, you live with yourself and you alone are responsible for the course of your life. So, let’s take the last step of the year, say “Fuck you 2020!” and go out with a grand finale!

   
As for the picture in this post I made, it is the actual cover image I am now using on all of my social media sites and other sites, to unify all of them in a new design and a new attitude to papercrafts. I actually updated it more than 1 month ago, and didn’t really comment on it, but maybe since it’s the last post of the year, I can briefly explain what this has to do with anything.

This year I had a lot of time to actually assemble all of my old papercraft designs (since I always test assemble and assemble them myself), so because I had so many good ones, I decided to make a unified papercraft banner for my work. I wanted to join all of my sites together, so it’s clear I am the one and only designer behind all of them. And that my papercrafts are a serious work in which I put a lot of work and pride into as well.

I know times are getting harder, also in economic sense for the middle and lower classes (as always), and I know that I do have a bit of a complicated system for papercraft purchases, since I don’t have direct links for downloads. I know I overcomplicate things, and I know that I overreact sometimes when my things and designs get bluntly stolen or copied, so in all sincerity, thank you for all of you out there that followed me and supported me through this extremely hard, in mental and economic sense, year for me. I hope you can forgive my flaws; I do try to make things in a way so as much of you can be happy with the work I try to provide, and it is hard since everybody has their own taste and sense, but I really do try my hardest. Believe me.

I hope that in the future years to come, you can also support me the way you did, or even more, that would simply be amazing. I do apologize for not making anything special for new year or any freebies, I was simply too busy with “real-life” issues to make anything on the go. --- But do believe me when I say that I am preparing new posts as we speak, thinking of new giveaways for you, assembling new papercrafts (as you can maybe see in the banner picture as well ;)), and much, much more.

To over +10 years of papercrafting and to many more to come. I hope we all have a wonderful new year and keep your heads held high! There is always sunshine at the end of a thunderstorm! Always.

Happy New Year!

Frohes neues Jahr!

Srečno novo leto!

明けましておめでとうございます。

Gott nytt år!

Bird flock (Simple Version) papercraft

Bird flock (Simple Version) papercraft

Since my “Super simple papercrafts” were so popular, I decided to make another round of simple papercrafts and I decided to make a bird-themed group craft. Why? Since I already made cat and dog simple version papercrafts, I also have to make birds, since they are my favorite animals out of them all, and everybody should adore these fluffballs like me, so here you go :)

The papercraft is called »Bird flock«, since it consists of 8 different bird/parrot pets that are the most popular types to have and love at home. The papercraft is unfolded to 16 cm and has 10 pages to print. Saying that, it means that the 2 cockatiels are 16 cm tall (including their crest), the 2 lovebirds about 10 cm, the 2 budgies 9 cm and the 2 finches about 8 cm. All of them are in pairs with the typical colors and feather-patterns they are mostly seen and are, as the title suggest, really SUPER SIMPLE DESIGNED and therefore SUPER EASY TO MAKE.

They are basically designed as an open box, you have 2 sides that you glue together with the “stripe” in the middle, leaving a hole at the bottom where you fold back the tails and feet. They have a separate 3D beak, that you put together and glue on the face, 2D wings, that you glue on the backs, and there you go. A super simple cute bird design that is really fast and fun to make :)

To remind people again what these “Simple version” papercrafts are, here is the explanation again:

As the name suggests, it is a project of a few really simple papercrafts I am making from time to time. Since I saw that many people are somewhat intimidated of my papercrafts and I do like to make more intricate designs and details in papercrafts, people tend to get scared of the work and difficulty. In order to show that it’s not the case and that I take an effort to make papercrafts available really for any kind of papercrafter, be it beginner, advanced or pro, I decided to address the issue and show that anybody can make papercrafts and especially designed some fun crafts that REALLY ANYBODY CAN MAKE, super simple and really fast. But most of all, fun!

These papercrafts are simple in design, have fewer pieces to cut out and assemble, they have no really small parts, are overall unfolded a bit bigger, they have more detached and “boxier” (simpler) pieces that you just glue on, and when assembled still look super sweet and awesome :)

I already did some papercrafts like that, which you can look at here:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/gallery/75506959/simple-papercrafts

 
I hope you like parrots and birds of any kind as much as me, and I am surely going to show you all of the built versions I did of them as well. So stay tuned for the whole look ;)

Merry Christmas/ Happy New Year 2021! by Antyyy

Merry Christmas/ Happy New Year 2021! by Antyyy

Since it's almost the 25th December, I wanted to send my season’s greetings in a form of my papercrafts, since that’s obviously what I specialize in XD

These are the ones that I like the most, so only a fraction of the ones that are actually thrown on my “Papercraft highlight shelves” in the middle of my living room, since I wanted it to look a bit tidier than it actually is XD

This is a picture of all my papercrafts that I designed and assembled myself, probably 1/3 of the crafts I have made this year alone. Yeah, Corona did allow me to have a LOT of time this year, since everything is closed, we currently still got a second total lockdown where I can’t even leave my town, and nothing is happening anyway – but probably others had/still have a similar experience and I am surely not the only one XD

Also, there is still 1 day left for my Christmas giveaway contest (where you can win an exclusive black chibi Chocobo pair papercraft), so you still got time to enter:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/journal/Antyyy-s-Papercrafts-Christmas-giveaway-contest-863225583

Since I won’t be on my PC for 2 days, I will probably announce the winner of the contest in the late evening of 25th December (CET+1, since I’m on European time), so stay tuned for that ;)

And although the year has been total shit, and it’s still tough and many people will not be able to be together with their loved ones or are still suffering, there is always hope in every situation. It may not be the ideal situation, but keep on hanging on, if not for yourself, then in spite of everybody that is telling you to give up and keep laying down. Spit in the face of nay-sayers and show them what you are made of! Never stop getting up again when you fall. There may be days when you’ll fall, and you’ll keep on lying there, crying and feeling bad about everything - you are allowed to have those days, everybody does, we are all human after all - but after those, stop, and get up again and keep on fighting people. Never give up and let’s show the world that nothing will keep us down!

Merry Christmas to everybody still fighting their own fights, and may the next year be full of new opportunities and situations that are going to make us even stronger! Merry Christmas, a happy new year, and may it bring you the happiness you are searching for~
