Earth-chan (Earth chibi) build papercraft

Earth-chan (Earth chibi) build papercraft

Time for another one of my designs put to the test and assembled by me. And what else could it be than one of my fav chibis I made, my take on the popular “Earth-chan”.

 

Yes, this papercraft is FREE to download on my page, so you can scroll down for the download link or you can read this part and maybe find some tips on how to assemble her and make your life easy that way XD

The craft is about 20cm tall, so she is a comfortable height to make parts easy, even if some of them are smaller. I started, as always, with assembling her head, from top to neck part. But actually, this time I closed the head on the top part, since it’s easier this way AND the top part will not be visible at the end, because you glue the hair piece on that.

When I made the head, I also made the hair part. Now I noticed that the hair part when build separately is quite wide and since you don’t actually glue it on any flaps and only on the top of the head, it has no reference points of how to put it in the right form. So what I did is that I put the assembled hair part between 2 glasses and gently pressed then together, to make the hair piece slimmer and more head-shaped. This way, the face and the hair at the end when glued together, will look nice and slimming and add to the chibi charm of the papercraft, like it is shown in the reference pictures of the template. If you don’t let the hair squish you might not get the ideal shape of the hair to fit perfectly on the head, but you can also leave this part out if you are happy with how it looks. Depends on what you want it to look like really, so just sharing my experience with it.

Now that we have the head and hair, I made the fiddliest part of the assembly, which are the fingers and hands. She has 1 finger on each hand and a joined palm, so those might be a bit fiddly to make, but not super hard really. If you made humanoid crafts before, you’ll build it in no time. After the hands come the arms and then the whole torso part + the 2-sided skirt.

Note: At this stage you will want to glue the “collar” part of the school uniform into the neck, if you want to glue it with self-made flaps inside the neck. If not, you can glue this part at the very end of the assembly, if you are okay with it being a bit loose around the neck.

When you have the upper part of the body + skirt, and the head, you glue that together in the neck part with the flaps and make it nice and sturdy (you can additionally fill out the neck with paper rolls or reinforce it with tape, just to be on the safe side) so the rather small neck won’t reform because of the head weight. I didn’t do it myself, since I found it rather sturdy and I am always careful when assembling small parts together, but you never know ;)

All that is left now is to make the separate leg part. I did that by assembling the shoes first and building it part by part till the pants, since at the top of the pants is open and you can help yourself with the open hole like that better than you would do from top to bottom.

Now simply put glue on the flaps of the pants and adjust and glue it on the upper body and head part that you did earlier. All that is left is to glue the hair on the head (and glue the collar on the actual model to fit if you already didn’t), and there you go, chibi Earth-chan is finished.

As you can see she also has some add-on posters that you can choose from for her to hold in her hands. Mine actually worked without me having to glue in inside her hands, but you can also glue it on if you wish. Another tip to make the hands so close together is again the tip with the 2 glasses. Simply put the body part with her hands between 2 glasses and let it bend together a bit for a few hours, and the arms are as close as you want them to be, without deforming the arms in any way. Just be careful on how close you put the glasses together.

There you go, your own customizable Earth-chan that you can make with 4 different expressions for yourself. If you want to give it a go, here is the template that you can download for FREE here:

Spirit of lost time (Dragon Quest) built papercraft

Spirit of lost time (Dragon Quest) built papercraft

Another one of my papercrafts I decided to build, this time it's the »Spirit of lost time« from the new remake game of Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age.

The papercraft is about 14cm tall, so I think it’s a really nice height to build it, not too small and not too big. I started this by first making the 2 long tentacle-like arms on both sides, since those are maybe a bit fiddly to make, but because it’s such a height you can put your finger in the middle of the pieces and you can glue it together very nicely like that.

After I got the arms, I started to make it from top to bottom, which is my usual pattern to assemble, because I also place the flaps of the template in such a way so it’s easy that way. When getting to the arm parts, I attached the arms on the head and shoulder part, and built it till the beginning of the legs.

The second fiddly part are the legs, since they are a bit thinner than then arms and you have to close it there as well. Since I leave the legs for last, I build them to the toes and glue every part, one by one, on the body, till only the bottom part of the foot remains, the sole. Those are just then glued on as the last step to close the papercraft without any work at all, and there you go, papercraft finished :)

I think it’s not such a difficult papercraft than most of my other designs, since it has no really small parts to glue together, and it’s easy to close at the end. It probably took me half a day to finish it, depending on how skilled and fast you are yourself, of course.

I really loved the remake of the Dragon Quest game and still do. These cute little being have captured my attention since the beginning of the game where the protagonist first sees them and has no idea what they are. I find their smooth design and glowy-like appearance very appealing and I had to make this cutie for myself at any rate XD

 

I hope you like the cutie, you can find the template and all the info on how to get it here:

Bananya (Bananya) FREE papercraft

Bananya (Bananya) built papercraft

Wanted to share one of my older papercrafts with you, that is already available for FREE download in my gallery for a long time, and actually take the time to build it. It is a design from 2016 I made, but since nobody shares actual build papercraft pictures (or very, very few), I decided to make it myself, since it's quite fast to make, so here it is.

 

The papercraft has only 3 pages to print, since it’s quite small and easy. I made the cat body first, starting with the ears and all around the head, then making the small paws one by one and attaching them to the body. After that, I made the 5 banana peels one by one, attaching them to the body, and lastly closing the banana end with the stem. The Bananya papercraft is build, so all that was left is the stand (that is optional), since it doesn’t stand on its own and I didn’t want to hang the guy on a string.

The stand is quite easy as well really. I started to build it from the hole outwards, since it’s the easiest, and then you just close it at the bottom. If you do it all correctly, and you don’t even need to be that accurate with this one since the angle will do the trick itself, you have yourself a stand, where the stem of the banana end fits inside and holds the cat in place. Nice and easy. And you don’t need to reinforce it at all, since again the angle is just enough to make it stand perfectly without tipping over even if you don’t have weights in the stand part.

I think it took me about 4 hours to make it, including cutting out all the pieces, so it should be a very fast built for those who are used to the tricks of gluing paper together- BUT the 5 banana peels can be quite frustrating to put together, since they are so thin, so take your time when gluing them together, and when in doubt just pre-fold the peel parts to be sure where to glue it together to fit perfectly.

I have made the basic main white Bananya character, but I have made all 7 of the main Bananya anime characters, which are basically build and look the same as this one. You can download all of the 7 different designs here:

Gigantamax Blastoise (Sw/Sh) papercraft commission

Gigantamax Blastoise (Sw/Sh) papercraft commission

Presenting a new Gigantamax Pokemon I have made for a commission, the »Gigantamax Blastoise«! Just so you know what an awesome thing this is, and, of course, that I have all the expansion pack Pokemon already ripped and ready for anybody who would want to commission them anytime.

This papercraft is huge! It's 42 cm tall and has a whopping 39 pages to print. Why? Well because it's the real deal, with all included canons, add-ons for the shell, etc. etc., and the originally designed Gigantamax Blastoise comes with all sorts of things and it has to have all of them on. Of course, as you can see, it also includes the shiny texture version, although I think the shiny version is really crappier compared to the original… but, whatever the case, both can be made according to preferences.

The commissioner wanted it to be the real deal, with all details and parts, so that’s what I did. And he/she wanted it to be as big as possible, so it stands out as a real Gigantamax Pokemon, bigger than most Pokemon papercrafts you can get.

     

***This is a paid commissioned papercraft. Commissioned crafts cannot be re-sold, with some exceptions. If you are interested in buying the template or have any other questions, please message me in private on DeviantArt or on my Facebook page.

If you are interested in a paid commission, or have any questions regarding my commissions and the general process, you can read about those here:

Hopefully we get to see this huge tank of a Pokemon being made, I really would like to see how this huge thing looks like in real!

In any case, I hope you like it and happy crafting~

Teacup Kitty (Simple version) built papercraft

Teacup Kitty (Simple version) built papercraft

Built my Teacup Kitty papercraft, since I had some time and wanted to show you how cute it looks up-close and all, so I hope you like it ;)

Since it's a “Super simple papercraft” it took me about 3 hours to make it (including cutting out all the pieces), and is overall pretty easy to make. As you can see it consists of many parts that you assemble together separately and then glue together, so I decided to make the teacup first. 

You make the cup like you would any simple open craft really, except that I started making it at the top, since you need to glue the “coffee” part on the top and that can be fiddly if you leave it for the end. So, I suggest you make it like me, and start to assemble it at the top, making the edge around the coffee and then the rest of the cup. After that I made the handle and glued it to the cup and you have the cup part ready.

Next, I made the saucers. Those are simple 2D pieces that you glue together, and at the end you put the upper and under part together and glue it, so you get a simple saucer you can put the cut on. Same goes with the spoon, glue upper and under part together, and you have a simple, yet 3D looking, shiny spoon.

And at the end you need to put together the cat. I started by making each of the paws, since they only have 1 piece to assemble together. Next, I made the tail, which has 4 parts you glue, and at the end you have the head. I started the head at both ears and made my way gluing it together till the bottom, since on the bottom part you only have 1 flat piece to close it, so that’s the simplest way to go here. And you can add the 2D whiskers just glued on around his mouth as a finishing touch.

And as simple and fast as that, you have yourself a teacup kitty! The pieces of the cat can be just put in the coffee mug as that, since they will stand on their own and you can move them around. I only suggest to glue the tail on, since it’s rounded and it won’t stand by itself, but other pieces you can move around as you wish. Or you can put weight in the tail, that way you don’t need to glue it on so it stands, but that’s more advanced papercrafting then. Or, you simply glue them on the way you want it to be and you have it like that. In any case, it’s a fun papercraft starter piece for anybody wanting to put a cute cat together and have just fun with it.

Teacup Kitty (Simple version) papercraft

Teacup Kitty (Simple version) papercraft

Time for another “Super simple papercrafts” papercraft that every one of you can make! Decided to do these cutesy animal papercrafts, since the latest poll I featured was asking what simple papercraft you would like me to do and it was undecided between "cute animals" and "whatever you feel like". So, I wanted to make a kawaii craft, simple and cute, and here is the result. The craft was made as an idea of a similar art deco I saw that was on sale in China, but mine is cuter and more practical XD

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 18 cm and has 10 pages to print. It consists of a simple 3D cat papercraft, 2 3D separate cutesy paws, a 3D tail, a 3D teacup, a separate 3D handle, a simple 2D 2-sided spoon, a simple 2D 2-sided saucer and 2D whiskers you glue on at the end. Each part is put together separately and then glued together, so it’s simple to make as well as easy and fast.

So, what is this all about? As the name suggests, it is a project of really simple papercrafts I wanted to make. 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 to make them. 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 regarding how many pieces there are, they are unfolded a bit bigger to make it simpler to assemble them, they have more detached pieces that you just make and glue on, and still look super sweet and adorable so anybody will want to make them.

I hope you like the little cutie and happy crafting~
