Iris chibi (Fire Force) built papercraft
As with all my crafts, I always start at the head. Build the face first (with the neck) and then make your way to the back of the head with the hair and close it. Since Iris is in the nun’s uniform, she has a long veil down her head that is as long as her whole body, so that can be a bit fiddly to put on. But I still recommend you put the veil on the head separately, and then glue the head on with the veil, since it’s still going to be the easiest way if you do it like that. So, build the veil part, attach the inner side of the veil (if you want, since the inner part is optional, but it looks nicer in black), and then glue the front-end bangs of the hair on the vail. Once that is done, put glue on the flaps of the previously made head and glue the veil on the head, slowly and neatly, one flap at a time. The most important parts are the front parts, since those are visible, so make sure to focus on that, the back parts can be glued on just like that so they fit and they are aligned (since they are not visible in the end). 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 the fingers in her typical “Latom” prayer pose (as seen in the picture) and we are done here :)
When the arms are done, built the first half of the upper dress with the collar. Build the gray collar first, then glue the white collar inside the gray collar and then on the collar of the black dress. When you got that, glue the arms on there 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 upper black dress parts and glue it on the pieces you already got. Once you have that, you can make the inner white dress and just glue it from the inside to the black dress at the right angle.
Once you got that, move on to the legs. The legs can be assembled separately from the main body, since they fit inside the dress 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 she 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 she can stand.
Finishing touches are the shoulder pads of her protective gear. Those are glued together separately, and then you put some glue on each edge of the pads and glue them on the shoulders just like that at the right spots. And there you go, all done :)
She is pretty sturdy for a chibi papercraft, if you assemble her 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 her 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:

Iris chibi (Fire Force) papercraft
As you can see from the preview image, this is the chibi papercraft of Iris, the gentle soul and spiritual beacon of the group XD
The papercraft is unfolded to 20 cm and consists of 9 pages to print. It is made out of a 3D Iris model, with simple 2D 2-sided hands that are just glued on like that for super simple assembly (posed with her praying “Latom”). She has some additional 2D parts as highlights on the model, such as her long 2-sided veil and her simple shoulder pads, that are just glued on like that.
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.***
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!"

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~
