Arthur chibi (Fire Force) papercraft

Arthur chibi (Fire Force) papercraft

Decided to do a whole range of chibi papercrafts fitting in a whole project, since I love making chibis ‘coz they are so adorable and easy to make. So, what else to do than one of my favorite series of the last 10 years, “Enen no Shouboutai” or “Fire Force” :)

As you can see from the preview image, this is the chibi papercraft of Arthur, the crazy yet lovable guy with the knight-complex XD

The papercraft is unfolded to 24 cm and consists of 7 pages to print. It is made out of a 3D Arthur model, with simple 2D 2-sided hands that are just glued on like that for super simple assembly. He has some additional 2D parts as highlights on the model, such as the badge on the left shoulder and his 2D 2-sided collar with hoodie. It also comes with his Excalibur sword he uses in his fights, which is made as a simple 3D boxy model that is built separately and glued into the hand.

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.

All of the chibis from the “Fire force” project, are made to fit together in a whole group, so they are all relative in height and basically made the same way. So, if you are interested in seeing all of them, just check the regular updates and my papercraft folder under “Fire Force papercrafts”, where all of them are going to be shown ;)

Happy crafting~ and "Latom!"

Shinra chibi (Fire Force) built papercraft

Shinra chibi (Fire Force) built papercraft

Since I released/will release a whole range of “Enen no Shouboutai” chibi papercrafts, I also got to built at least some of them XD So I decided to start with the main character of the anime, Shinra in his cutish chibi form.

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 the head is done.

Moving on, I made the 2 arms separately first. After you have only the arms done, glue the “stumps” inside the arms at the right angle. And after those are glued, you can glue on the simple 2D 2-sided hands on and bent/curl both thumbs and index fingers to his “concertation pose” he does with his hands when he wants his extra powerful fire attack move (see my reference picture above so you know what I mean), and those are done :)

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. The legs can be assembled separately from the main body, since they fit inside the jacket and it’s easier that way, so do just that. Built the feet from the bottom upwards, first making the boots and make your way up till you reach the last part. In this phase you can fill out or add weights into the feet (if you want to be 100% sure it stands), but he stands pretty good without any help as well. And after you are happy with the feet, simply paste glue on the flaps and glue them on the body at the waste part, adjusting the right angle so he can stand, and there you go.

All that is left is to make the last parts, which are his decorative flame parts on his feet. They are simple 2D 2-sided parts, so when you glue them together, bend them in the middle and just put them beneath his feet as they can stand like that (or glue them on the soles of the feet if you want). And we are done.

He is pretty sturdy for a chibi papercraft, if you assemble him right. The neck is “hidden” inside the collar, making the most vulnerable part (the neck) pretty stiff even without extra reinforcing it.

I hope you like him and you’ll get some ideas to assemble a papercraft or two on your own. The template and info about the purchase can be found here:

As always, just sent a private note and let me know if you would like to buy it. In any case, happy crafting~ and "Latom!"

As you can see from the preview image, this is the chibi papercraft of Shinra, the main character of the bunch and one of the best “demonic” characters out there with that iconic grin of his XD

The papercraft is unfolded to 21 cm and consists of 6 pages to print. It is made out of a 3D Shinra model, with simple 2D 2-sided hands that are just glued on like that for super simple assembly. He has some additional 2D parts as highlights on the model, such as the badge on the left shoulder and his 2D 2-sided collar. It also comes with his typical 2D 2-sided flames that he shoots out of his feet, that are just cut out and glued on his feel (optional).

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.

Chibi Chocobo pair (World of Final Fantasy) papercraft

Chibi Chocobo pair (World of Final Fantasy) papercraft

As some of you may or may not remember, I had a »Christmas giveaway contest« in December, where the prize was an exclusive »Black chibi Chocobo pair« that the winner got (you can view it here): 

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

I think the black Chocobo is the cutest out of all the Final Fantasy monsters, so I decided to make those, since I think they are the ultimate cuteness XD

Since then, MANY, and I mean many, people have been asking about the template. Since the black ones where the prize for the winner only, I decided to make the normal Chocobo texture as an available papercraft, so people who were asking about the template, can get the normal yellow Chocobo colors, if you want them.

The papercraft is unfolded to 20 cm and has 12 pages to print. It consists of 2 different 3D Chocobos, re-modeled and re-textured from the game “World of Final Fantasy”.

One is the normal chibi Chocobo, and the other chibi Chocobochick. Both have a 3D body, with 2D 2-sided wings and front floof, and the chick also has a 2D eggshell with a simple cylinder stand under the head, so it stands in its place. The normal big one is 20 cm and the small one probably about 14 cm (without the eggshell). The only parts that are fiddly should be the feet with the claws, that are somewhat smaller and maybe the head feathers on the bigger Chocobo, so I would say they are a 5/10 to build.

The papercraft template comes in normal (yellow) colors only, since the black Chocobo one was EXCLUSIVELY for the winner of the contest and it will stay that way.

And since a lot of haters have been talking behind my back (as always), here is the explanation for the illiterate once again (you can skip this whole thing if you are only interested in the template, it's just another rant thing going on to prove my point XD):

Yes, the papercraft model and the textures are actually literally 100% made by me, not ripped from the game – IF anybody wants proof, I can show the UV-map I made and you’ll see it’s a different one from the game and hand-drawn by me, just like everything else I make. Just because it looks 100% like the game, only means that I am freaking awesome and really good at my work with replicating 3D models from pictures and videos, and that’s about it.

I always make my own models, poses and textures, ALWAYS, so please, don’t insult my work and talent. Every papercraft is 100% made by me, 100% Antyyy, since that’s the work I make and take pride in (the only exception are commissions only, if the commissioners want the in-game ones – which I also point out as being from the original model, or any other commissions I make based off pre-existing models, which I then NEVER share openly anyway).

-- I know it’s a scare-tactic or whatever you would call it, because apparently, I am getting on the nerves of a lot of people for selling MY OWN WORK that I do, for money. And I am apparently the devil to these people because I need money to life of off, selling them at least -300% cheaper than I put actual work into them to model/texture and unfold them. Damn, I am so selfish for wanting money to pay rent and groceries with my own work I do and that I don’t want to live off of air and photosynthesis only, I know.

Anyway, these losers can make-up things and lie all they want, the only truth comes from me, you can ask me anytime about my work and I’ll gladly explain it again and again, anything you need to know. Just know that the haters have never ever stopped me working on my stuff for +10 years since I started this whole papercraft journey, so don’t even try. I go into the accusations and clear them up for others reading s***posts like that, but honey, I ain’t losing any sleep over idiots like that, believe me, there are too much awesome people out there actually supporting me and liking my work ;) + it really pi**es them off if you keep making stuff they can’t get XDDD

                                

I hope you like them and find them as cute as me (although I still find the back version better XD), and happy crafting~
