Meganium (Pokemon) papercraft commission



Another papercraft commission I can share openly with all of you. This time it's an amazing life-like Meganium papercraft, inspired by the glowing Pokemon in the popular game »Pokemon Snap«.

The 3D model and the textures of the papercraft is modeled after the ones in the Sun & Moon version, since those were the latest ones with this Pokemon in it. It’s unfolded to 40 cm and consists of the 3D model of Meganium, the 2-sided petals around the neck to make them look realistic (and that are glued on the neck part of the craft) as well as 2 different versions of the antennae: one 3D version that is harder to make and that is attached directly on the head, and one simpler 2D 2-sided version that is just glued on like that. – And, of course, 2 different textures, normal and shiny, as are most when commissioning a Pokemon papercraft.

Hope you like it and that you’ll get some motivation to make a papercraft or 2 on your own ;) 

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Snake Dragon papercraft



Dragons people, dragons. Who doesn’t like these mythical majestic beauties? I felt inspired by pictures of them I saw on a page and decided to do my own version of one, just for fun really.

I started off making it and it looked more like a snake really, and then I added the wings, feet and stand etc. So, at the end of the modeling process I had a sort of a mix between a snake and a dragon, so I decided to name it “Snake Dragon”, so you know the story behind the name XD It’s not a real Chinese dragon, it’s not a real dragon from the Middle Ages, it’s not even a Wyvern or any subspecies like that, it's just my snake dragon, and that's it XD And of course it’s my original character, designed, textured and modeled 100% by me, made just the way I wanted.

I am also really happy with the color-pallet and the textures in general. Mostly, when I make original characters, the most difficult thing is to imagine what colors would suit the form best, and I think going classic black here really made it shine, along with the somewhat different blue mouth and the emerald green eyes that pop out. I also made sure to make the body of the dragon scaly-like and made sure to add different-looking scales on the body (in textures), so it shows what color it is supposed to have. Really nice and detailed. Same goes with the stand, where I drew the wood texture for the perches and the flames that ACTUALLY look like flames as well XD

As for the papercraft, I unfolded that to about 23 cm and it has 15 pages to print (9 of which are for assembling the dragon only, without stand and fire). The template has a 3D dragon with 2D 2-sided wings and a separate 3D stand (because of the claw-like feet, which aren’t really made for standing, so he needs the perches to stand on) with awesomely cool simple 2D 2-sided flames for the stand around it, that really makes the dragon fierce-looking ;)

Since it has a really love snake-like body, it probably takes some time to make it. The fiddly parts would be the wings, since they are 2-sided and you need to glue them on the 3D wing stumps and then the body, and maybe the cylindrical perches, since they are attached to each other on the stand to make it sturdy. All in all, I would say it’s probably a 7/10 to make.

Also note that the dragon has really thin whiskers. I did add them in the unfold, but I do imagine that thin wire would look more awesome and you can bend it in shape and color it black (if it’s not black already). So, it’s kind of an optional part that shows you how it can look like with whiskers.

I hope all of you dragon-lovers out there like him, I do try to make a variety of papercrafts I can think of and want to make, but as you can see the design, if made right, is verrrry time-consuming.

Lyria (Granblue Fantasy) papercraft

Lyria (Granblue Fantasy) papercraft

Maybe you saw the »Guess the character contest« I posted some time ago... Anyway, nobody guessed it correctly… so it's finally revealed time for all of you who wondered who it was XD It's no other than the main heroine of the anime/manga/game »Granblue Fantasy« the gorgeous »Lyria« ;)

The game is actually hugely popular in Japan for quite some years now, a lot of merch and ads about the game also when I was in Japan years back and it’s still going strong. So, I thought I would make a tribute to the anime that also came out not long ago and already ended, and I tried to make her looks based on the anime really.

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 30 cm and has 11 pages to print. It’s actually quite detailed, not only in model parts and accessories, but also with the texture, since as already told with the reveal, I took my sweet time with it and really tried to make the most of the details and colors.

The papercraft basically consist of a 3D model of Lyria, where the hair is 2-sided and really long, since she has such beautiful long hair in the anime and game, so that’s gonna take time with the assembly, because you want to place each strip of hair neatly and bent it a bit so it’s nice and wavy-looking like flowing hair. Apart from that she has a nice flowy 2-sided dress, and a lot of separate accessories: 3D simple sandals with 2D stripes (which are optional to make, though she stands better with the sandals on), her 2D 2-sided jewel on her chest with the 3D blue jewel in the middle, her 2D golden gloves that are put around her arms when building them separately, and her 2D bracelet on her leg and arm.

All in all, some accessories may be small to make, but they are all flat 2D pieces to cut out like that. Other issues may be that you have to make sure she can stand when assembled, so I definitely suggest adding weights inside the legs so she really has a hold, and maybe wire for the flowy hair, depending how strong and thick the paper is you are printing on. So, on an assembly difficulty scale of 10, I would give it a 7.

As always, if you would like to purchase the template, write me a private note, else I hope you enjoy the view and happy crafting~

Sebastian (Kuroshitsuji - Black Butler) papercraft



People. It has been too long. To damn freaking long, I know. I mean, who doesn't know the legendary anime »Kuroshitsuji« or »Black Butler«. You got quite some papercrafts to choose of Ciel out there, but the true main character of the anime, »Sebastian Michaelis« the black demon butler from hell, where is a craft of him?!??! I didn't see any being made all this time the anime came out. SO, IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THAT! May I present to you, finally, my own papercraft made of Sebastian. It’s never too late people XD

The papercraft itself is made by me, of course, 3D model, pose and texture (as always, 100% made by ME). It is unfolded to 30 cm height, since I wanted Sebastian to be really big and the center piece for anybody assembling him. The template consists of 7 pages to print out.

All in all, it’s a rather complicated papercraft to assemble, a lot of smaller pieces for the hands and the hair, so definitely nothing for beginners to make, and nobody that isn’t confident in their papercraft assembly skills.

The kuroshitsuji papercraft is made out of a joined 3D model of Sebastian, with the end part of the hair having a hole in it (in the head), for simpler assembly and to simply close off the head. The hole is of course not visible at the end. Some parts of the hair are in 2D and 2-sided, others are in 3D for a better effect. Apart from that, you also got some smaller 2D parts to just put on, as are his chains in the pocket and his crest on the jacket. And of course he is in his typical bowed down pose as he always is when taking orders from Ciel and saying “Yes, my Lord.” :}

***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.***


I hope you love him as much as I do and that I get some time on my hands to assemble him as well. I am a huge fan of the anime so I was really excited to make this, and I also hope we get some new material in any way as well XD Enjoy and as always: Yes, my Lord! and happy crafting~

Avocado pair built papercraft



I already showed the “Avocado pair” papercraft template and promised to build it as well, so here is the preview and some tips for the assembly :)

The assembly is actually pretty straightforward. You have 5 different faces to choose for each half od the avocado, so when you choose the one you wanted, start with that.

Each of the halves has either the hole or the seed to make first on the front part, so start with that, making sure it's neatly done. Start at the upper part, glue each piece on the face part (on the back side paper of the face part), and at the end close it with the final piece. The hardest part of the assembly is this, so take your time and take it slow ;)

After this, it is actually best to glue each back part of the green peel on the front face part, piece by piece (and not to make the back green peel part first and then glue on the whole face, although it may look easier), because if you do it piece by piece and gluing it on the face part you get a much smoother and accurate assembly with no white edges sticking out or anything like that. So just do it piece by piece, making sure to glue it neatly on and at the end close it with the bottom flat part.

And at the end all that is left to do are the 2-sided 2D hands that are glued on any position you would like. As a tip, you can glue one pair of the hands on one end, and then make sure to glue the other pair for the second one a bit higher or a bit lower – that way the hands intelock when you put them together as a whole avocado and it looks like they are hugging :)

The papercraft template I posted can be found here (in case you need to see how the template looks like)


***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.***


And as promised to my Patreon supporters and followers, the template is free for them and can be downloaded here:

Avocado pair papercraft

Avocado pair papercraft

Wanted to make a random cute papercraft for some time now, so I decided to make an avocado, since they are really popular for earrings, necklaces etc. and they always look super adorable XD So I made my version of an avocado papercraft.

The craft itself has 6 pages to print and consists of 2 3D avocado halves and 2-sided 2D arms (that are just glued on like that – optional). Each of the halves has 5 different faces to choose from (all in all 10 different expressions), so you can decide what mood your avocado will have XD One halve has the 3D seed in it, and the other one a 3D hole – so when you press both together, they fit perfectly and you get a whole avocado vegetable XD now isn’t that cute?

The bottom is flat, so the craft stands as is, without any additional weights inside. It’s actually really simple to make, yet really effective in the overall look, at least as I see it.

***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.***

Aditionally to the sale, I mean to upload these as downloads for my Patreon supporters so they can get them there as well ~ :) You can view all of them here:

I hope you like my little derpy ‘cados and that they spread their love to you through the screen of your phone or PC, wherever you are viewing them from <3

Sadao Maou (Hataraku Maou-sama!) papercraft



Don’t know if you people know this about my pages and sites, but I always preach for people on any of my social media sites to send/share/write suggestions or things you would like to see me make or change or whatever to make my pages more user-friendly and to create content that people want to actually see. And it so happens that I got a suggestion of this next character I made, since actually 2 different persons suggested this and were really, really hyped about the release of a new season of the anime XD I can’t always do 100% things people suggest because of work-related issues and no time, but I try me best in any case! So your critique is always heard and I try to integrate constructive feedback and changes all the time, one post at a time.

In any case, if you don’t know, the beloved hyped anime “Hataraku Maou-sama!” or in English “The devil is a part-timer!” is getting a new season! Don’t know yet when, but it’s definitely happening. And since I also loved the anime and people are really excited about this, I wanted to make a papercraft of the main character of the anime, the devil himself, “Sadao Maou” in his typical “MgRonald” (copyright issues XDDD) clothes and with his Maou devil-cape.

The papercraft is unfolded to 22 cm and has 6 pages to print. It consists of a whole 3D model of Maou, a separate cape with the pointy shoulders that is just glued on his shoulders (and can be optional) and his MgRonald visor, which is also separate (and optional). The hair also has 2 layers, so it’s more hair-looking and has the shape of his head and is just glued in between the parts. Also, the back layer part of the hair, or the head, has a hole at the back, to make the head part really simple to make, and the hole is of course not visible when assembled at all.

Along with that, I have updated the template itself to be easier to use, marking the parts that need to go together on the PDF parts themselves and commenting on parts of the template. So the bought templates come not only with the edge ID PDF files to see how to assemble them, but also with written notes and tips 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.

ALL THAT meaning that the papercraft is actually pretty easy to make. Apart from the fiddly 5 fingers on each hand, it should be pretty straightforward to make, and it can be built in separate parts and glued together at the end. I would say it’s a 5/10.

***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.***


I hope you are also hyped for the new anime season as my 2 fans that wrote me about making this XD Enjoy and happy crafting~

Sailor Moon Transformation papercraft



Since I have a bit of a history with Sailor Moon, and this was one of my first anime in my childhood I was genuinely obsessed with, I had to do another take on a Sailor Moon papercraft. But not just any old papercraft…

I thought deep and hard about what made Sailor Moon special to me, and figured out that I was always waiting for those amazing transformation poses and animation. Those beautiful slender bodies, the elegance, the magic, it was just captivating, and still is. The highlight of every »Mahou shoujo (Magical girl)« anime is the transformation scene we are all waiting for, so I decided to make just that!

It is quite a challenge to make such a dynamic pose into a static papercraft, and I had to figure out some tricks to do this, but all in all it's a genuine 90' Sailor Moon transformation sequence papercraft :)

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 30 cm, which means that Sailor Moon is about 26 cm tall, the stand about 3 – 3,5 cm thick. It consists of a 3D attached Sailor Moon model, with a separate 3D broch (that is just glued on like that), her 2D transformation ribbons, her 2D 2-sided wings and the 3D stand with 2 2D 2-sided heart transformation patterns.

The key to this craft is actually to be really neat and tidy when doing this, so definitely a 9/10 on a difficulty scale (advanced and for experienced assemblers only). The Sailor Moon papercraft has the stand where her feet are imbedded in, but that would definitely have to be reinforced and possibly made to stand with wire. Same goes for the wings that would need either wire or sticks to hold them in place so they would be attached the right way – but in doing that the wings can actually be moved up and down and in an angle, which makes the effort definitely show at the end being worthwhile.
The pieces of Sailor Moon are all attached together, but overall, because it is so slender, it has smaller parts to put together and the twin tails would probably also have to be additionally glued at the top so they would not fall over.

Same goes for the stand. If you want to include the 2 hearts, those would have to be attached on the stand with wire to hold their place. Or they can be made from cutting out pink foil and attaching those on the stand (which would also look amazing when doing that with the ribbons on her body; the foil would add extra shiny texture and it would hold the shape better).

Additionally, to these ideas about assembly tips, the Sailor Moon papercraft would, of course, look best if she would float. So, my tip would be to make her without the stand and just hang her from a wire or thread so she would look natural in her floaty pose.

***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.***

All in all, as said, only for the not faint of heart and experienced papercrafters to make her look and stand the way she should. I will definetly try to get some time on my hands and make this baby, so you know that she can actually look as elegant and floaty as in the animation :)

In the meantime, hope you got some drive and motivation to do some of your own papercrafts. Enjoy and happy crafting~



BTW: The real funny part for this is that the idea actually came to me in a dream XD I was dreaming on being on my PC and thinking about what to do next for a papercraft and the idea came to me to make the transformation sequence of Sailor Moon, because it is so iconic and amazing. With all the wings and floating ribbons XD And the papercraft just started to dance and float and sparkle in my dream, damn it was so cool XD Sometimes my dreams are really random and I got no idea where this came from. It was probably at least 2 years since I last saw the new remakes of the Sailor Moon anime, so.... random? I guess :D
