Kalin Kessler (Yu-Gi-Oh!) papercraft commission



Since the assembled papercraft is already out, I had to post this cutie today. Another papercraft commission of the anime Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's. This time it's the cool but calm guy named »Kalin Kessler« or »Kiryu Kyosuke«.

I already made the main character Fudo:

Yusei Fudo (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's) papercraft commission

So they fit together as a pair, I made him with the same stand and in proportion Kessler is a bit bigger unfolded.

The papercraft is 37 cm tall and has 18 pages to print. It consists of quite some separate parts, the 3D craft of Kessler, the 3D stand, his gun-shaped 3D duel disk, his 2D 2-sided cape that you got to build on him, quite a few 2D details (like the belt, the buttons, etc.) and a LOT of 2D playing cards for the duel disk deck and for his deck in his hands, so it looks original.

As said with Fudo, and if I may say so myself, it looks waaay better and more original than the plastic PVC figurines made by the tons. And to prove my point, I can share with you the amazing assembly of this guy, made by the commissioner:

Do take a look, it's really neatly done and you can see a lot of work has been put into this.

I hope you all enjoy the build papercraft and comment something nice bellow so we can see how much you appreciate these things from time to time, really makes a difference in reading these comments yourself when you are putting so much effort into something, especially as an artist.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Zero Two (Franxx) chibi papercraft


Although I found this anime to be very cringy at the beginning, with all those wannabe »fan service« sex poses and word-play and gestures of intercourse, I gave the series a try and I was actually surprised. Once you get over these gimmicks (and there are actually not a lot of them), the anime is surprisingly deep and the story is very intruding, so I do suggest that you take a shot at watching this one. Of course, I am talking about the anime “Darling in the Franxx”. And since it’s a nice and refreshing take on a fan-service anime that actually has more to offer than just THAT, I decided to make a papercraft of the best character of the series, and my personal main character of the anime, “Zero Two” or “02”. In chibi form, as you can see, because I don’t like these characters to get oversexualized and I am sick of these kinds of papercrafts/figurines, so I wanted to make her more “pure” probably and cute-ish, so people can see the true Zero Two :)

The papercraft is unfolded to 18 cm and has 6 pages to print. I made her in a sitting pose, since it’s more versatile like that and super sturdy. And 100% she will sit/stand no matter how you assemble her XD

She is made out of a 3D main body, with separate simple 3D horns (that are typical for her), and some additional simple 2D 2-sided accessory parts, such as her tie, and the emblems of her school uniform etc.

Main thing is that it’s actually easy to make, although it may not look like it at the beginning. You can divide the assembly in 3 parts, the head, the torso and the legs. Since she has long hair, the hair at the back has a hole (which when assembled is not visible), to make the assembly of the head easy and sturdy. The torso and the legs can simply be built separately and then joined together at the end (just sliding in the legs and gluing them to the waist), and same goes for the head in the neck part.

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.***

I will be sure to update the papercraft assembly as well, since I already made her, and I hope you’ll like how she looks like built as well. AND that you’ll see that it’s actually simple to make if you know the tricks, since I have the +10 year experience and am always glad to share tips & tricks of any assembly ;)
 
In the meantime, enjoy and happy crafting~

Bowser (Super Mario Odyssey) papercraft commission


Sharing another one of my open commissions. This time it’s “Bowser”, specifically from the “Super Mario Odyssey” series.

The whole papercraft is unfolded to 20 cm and except for the eyebrows (which are 2D and just glued on the eyes like that) every part is joined together, so just simply follow the edge ID numbers and the unfold logic and you’ll be able to make this monster for yourself ;) It consists of 11 pages to print and has quite some detail, so be sure to take your time and build it with a lot of patience.

:powerstar: :powerstar: :powerstar: :powerstar: :powerstar: 
Normally I only share a fraction of commissions I make and also not a lot of them are re-shared, depending on the wishes of the commissioner him-/herself, but this time it’s different! The commissioner allowed me to redistribute the papercraft to all of my followers, so I decided to put the papercraft for download for all of my official supporters on Patreon. So, from today on, the papercraft is available on my page here:

https://www.patreon.com/posts/bowser-super-48769041

and

https://www.patreon.com/antyyyspapercrafts

As another thanks to all of my supporters there ;) Working hard to get exclusive papercrafts on there that are not sold or shared on any of my other sites, and the list keeps getting longer :D

Thank you for all of the support, as always, I am very grateful for each and every one there that can and wants to financially support me for my papercraft work out there, and in these times more than ever.

I hope you like the papercraft and that I get to see the template being made some time in the future as well. Can’t wait to see those assembly pictures :)

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Hululu Penguin (Kemono Friends) built papercraft


Since I made the template, I also had to build her. Not only for the page, but also because I find her super adorable and I wanted to have her for my collection above my papercraft bench XD

The papercraft is actually simple enough to make, probably took me about 5-6 hours to make (including cutting out the parts and folding), plus/minus.

The craft can be divided into 4 separate stages to assembled her, so it should be fairly simple.

First you make the head, starting with the face and neck part. After you got those glued, make the front bangs and glue them on the face. After this glue the remaining parts of the hair back, and be sure to glue the neck part on the hair first, to make it stand nicely (the instructions are clear in the PDF template). After that, you can make the separate 3D headphones and glue them on the head like that. First part head, done.

Next you can move on to the torso part, making the 2 arms first. The hands are actual penguin fins, so they are simple enough to make, and once you got both arms, you can connect them by making the middle part, the torso. Make the upper half of the torso with the collar, and after that is done, glue both hands on. When the glue has dried, take the already built head and glue it in the hole of the collar and attach it from the inside of the torso. After this dries good as well, put in some curled-up paper inside the neck so it holds up nice and it doesn’t snap. When the head is attached, all you need to do it glue the remaining stripes of the dress on it. Second part, done.

Next, we can make the small tail part. It is actually detached from the body and is just glued on the pants (you can also leave it out). This way is simpler to make and you can leave it out as an optional piece, if you want. Third part, done.

All that is left to do are the legs. I built them from bottom to top, so at the end you get the separate feet with the hole at her waist to fill in weights to make it stand better. I always use small gravel, since it fits in every hole and has a nice weight to make it really stand. When you got the weights in, all you have to do is glue the legs on the inside waist part of the dress, adjust the angle so she stands, and there you go. Fourth part, done.

At the end you can glue the tail you did before on the pants, and glue the remaining 2D parts on (such as the zipper, etc.), and she is ready. And done ;)

A really cute character from the anime “Kemono friends”, which is hugely popular in Japan for some years now. I bet we get to see some additional anime series or an OVA or movie soon. That would be cool XD

I hope you like her and happy crafting~

Hululu Penguin (Kemono Friends) papercraft


Recently I got into MMD models and such, and I was searching for some cute Kemono friends and looking around, and it hit me like a bolt of lightning. Why the hell do I love this anime Kemono friends so much and didn't even make 1 papercraft of them? Probably the most obvious reason was that another artist already made some of the most popular ones and are freely available to download, and I don’t like to copy ideas. For another that I don’t have the time, since I am not only working full time, but then also working on 10 different crafts at a time and yadda, yadda, yadda, etc. ------BUT since it is/was lockdown time, I had some spare time and decided to make 1 truly special Kemono friend papercraft that wasn’t available anywhere and is my personal fav of them all. So here she is, the Humboldt penguin, and best idol of the Idol group PPP (PiPaPu) in the anime, the cutie Hululu :)

The papercraft is unfolded to 20 cm and consists of 4 simple pages. Nothing really dramatic to build, since I wanted it to be simple design, as much as possible, and it doesn’t have 5 fingers (yaaay, damn I hate assembling 5 fingers on hands so much, but what can you do if it’s a human papercraft…). She only has a flap like a penguin arm, so only 2 parts to make for the arms XD And the skirt allows you to build it in at least 2 separate parts, which again makes assembling papercraft so much easier and enjoyable.

The papercraft consists of the main 3D attached body of Hululu, her simple detached 3D headphones that are just glued on like that, and her separate 3D tail, that is also just simply built and glued on her bottom. Wanted to keep the pose simple as well, so she stands without problems, and still looks maximum cute as she is :)

I really should have done this 3-4 years ago… man, that tragedy of Grape-kun really hit me hard and made me cry (if you don’t know the story, just google up Grape-kun and you’ll know what I mean). That penguin was a true otaku at heart, so my condolences, he was our hero, my hero, since I know how it feels to have a Waifu (kind of). I hope you may be happy wherever you are Grape-kun, with your Waifu on the other side ;_;

And for anybody wanting to have this Waifu in papercraft form, of course she is also available for sale.

***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.***

May we all find our real-life-Waifu’s and be truly happy in this world. Cheers Grape-kun and happy crafting~

*Btw. of course I also had to assemble her myself, so built preview follows soon... ;)

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) built papercraft



As promised, here is the built version of the Subaru chibi template from the anime “Re: Zero”. Isn’t he just adorable? :)))

Since the papercraft is unfolded to be 19 cm tall and actually has no real 3D hands, it’s pretty quick and easy to make.

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 it’s done.

Moving on, I made the 2 arms separately first. After you have only the arms done, as you will see, the right hand doesn’t have any hand since it’s only tucked in the pocket, while the left hand has a stump and a 2D 2-sided hand in which he holds the bag. The stump, on where the simple hand is glued on, can just be glued in the already pre-made hand/sleeve by pushing it inside and gluing up the flaps before, and it sits where it should. All is left is to glue the hand on and bent/curl it slightly, so the bag can sit in the fingers.

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. When the legs are built to the knees, be sure to glue on the simple boxy-shaped pocket so his right arm is inside the pocket and let that dry. – Pro tip: since we are dealing with a chibi papercraft, always be sure to reinforce and straighten the parts that are most vulnerable, like we did with the neck. - And since after you attach the head on the jacket, it becomes difficult to built it with the head facing upwards, so turn the papercraft upside-down and built the remaining parts till the last like that. That way the head will not weight down the body and you’ll have a simpler assembly.

All that is left is to make the last parts of the legs, and when you are about to glue on the shoes, I made it like this. Built the shoes separately (not closing the bottom part), and glue both on simultaneously. Depening on the glue you are using, this should get you enough time to adjust the angle of the shoes so Subaru can stand, so put him down on his feet and see if the angle is right and he can stand and if you found the right angle, close the bottom part of the shoes. (The papercraft stands without any help of weights that way, however you can throw in some extra weights inside his feet before closing it at the bottom, just to be sure).

All that is left is to make the simple 3D supermarket bag (which is hollow btw., as you can maybe see in the picture, and you can put small stuff in it, like I did with my fake flowers for fun XD), and there you go. Your own chibi Subaru papercraft.

You can find all the info about the template here:

I hope you like this little cutie. Since I already made the 2 girls I like most from the series, I wanted to make Subaru in a more funny angle and decided to make his chibi :) Enjoy and happy crafting~

Subaru chibi (Re: Zero) papercraft


Since I spent quite some time on some characters from the anime “Re: Zero” and I am quite invested in making some chibi papercrafts, I decided to make the main male protagonist of the anime like this :) Of course, as fans of the anime know, his name in "Natsuki Subaru".

The papercraft is unfolded to be 19 cm tall and consists of 4 printable pages. The pose and idea came when I saw a chibi figurine of Subaru made like this, so I decided to make him in a similar pose and with the plastic bag from the convenience store he was “Isekai-ed” in the 1. season of the anime XD

The papercraft has a simple 3D Subaru model, with a simple 3D “boxy-like” bag (that is optional), 1 hand in a pocket and another with a simple 2D 2-sided hand that is just glued on his arm and his typical 2D 2-sided standing-out hair bangs on his head.

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.***
 
The built version will soon be online as well, very soon, since I couldn’t miss out on making this little cutie myself XD So, until then enjoy and happy crafting~

Grim (Twisted Wonderland) papercraft


I really don't know if the game is THAT popular in the Western world, but Japan is going crazy about this adorable series for months upon months without end, so I thought I would cater to the taste of my Japanese viewers here as well. AND I am a huge fan of the game myself, since I play it, so who am I kidding here XD I also did it for myself.

The game is called “Twisted Wonderland” and it’s a bishounen mobile game with dormitory student life of teenage wizards and warlocks, and the main mascot and guide of the game is this adorable little fella called “Grim” the cat.

Black Cat 
The papercraft is unfolded to 25 cm and has 10 pages to print. I just went crazy with the design. It consists of a main 3D body of Grim the cat with a load of different add-ons. It has a 2D 2-sided bow, his 2D 2-sided flames in the ears, a 2D white floof, his 3D broch (which isn’t as hard to make as it looks), and a LOT of his favorite foods, which is canned tuna XD Actually 7 cans of normal stacked tuna and 1 can of opened tuna, all made out of simple 3D cylinder shapes, so you can print out those tunas and make a whole castle of them if you want :D

The fiddly part of the build is definitely going to be the pitchfork-shaped tail of his, which is all in 3D and part of the body. But because of that tail and because it touches the ground, along with his 2 feet, the cat papercraft should stand with ease.

The tail has the smallest parts to assemble, so if you are thinking of buying it and are not confident about your assembly skills and the help I provide with the assembly, I can always adjust the scale of the papercraft to a bigger size (as with any of my sold papercraft templates), so just say so when you are purchasing 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.***

I hope I got some people interested in the game and that you’ll take a look at it. It’s really popular in Japan, especially in the VROID section of the internet XD I hope you like my little grim as well, think it’s a pretty accurate representation of his character in the games :D

If you got any feedback, questions or anything else related to papercrafts, I am always happy to receive your messages or comments bellow to reply.

Happy crafting~

Emilia (Re Zero) built papercraft



You have seen the anime, you have seen the papercraft template, you have seen the 3D papercraft preview, BUT have you also seen the papercraft assembly? Well, now you have XD

May I introduce my latest assembled papercraft, my designed “Emilia” from the popular anime “Re: Zero”, which, if you don’t live under a rock, know that there is a new series being shown every week right now, so join the hype-train people XD Love the anime.

The template preview, which I released some time ago, can be found here btw. If you haven’t taken a look yet, just click it:


Since the series is ongoing and I really can’t wait to see more info, especially on the 7 new witches, I decided to make Emilia to calm my nerves a bit and to enjoy and appreciate the series even more.

The papercraft is unfolded to 26 cm, so she has a comfortable height to glue together. Some small parts, but nothing dramatic really, a rather easy built, compared to some other humanoid papercrafts with fingers etc.

As with all my assemblies, I started with the face and neck. Once I had that glued, I made the olng hair and all the cute little head details, such as the 2D braid, the hairs, the 2-sided ears, AND her rose ornament. Really loved to make that, and it’s actually super easy to make, since it’s only made out of 3 different flat pieces that you just glue together and on the head. And with some minor bending of the petals, it looks like a real 3D rose. Really love the detail of this the most of all the parts.

After I got the head, I made the separate hands first. And after the hands, I made the separate arms with the sleeves. The sleeves/the purple frills are kind of fiddly, since you have to manually bend them, so they can look natural on the sleeve, so it’s a bit fiddly and time-consuming. In my assembly I made the sleeves only with a 1-sided printed color, but I added an additional color for a double-sided print of the frills in the template, so when you assemble it, the frills will be colored on the inside as well, with no extra assembly effort, since they only need to be built once. Added this later on after I already built it, so my frills don’t look as nice and purple as they could have. But they are still the right form and everything, so they still look.

When you got the sleeves and hands, you can glue them together at the right angle by just slapping on glue on the flaps of the hands and adjusting the right angle of the arms in the sleeves, and there you go. No additional effort to be super precise about it, since that part isn’t seen in the built papercraft at all. So, a real time- and nerve-saver :) And after you got the arms all joined together, I made the upper body next. I made the upper body so I could join the arms I did before on it, and build the rest of the flowing cape/dress.

When you got the upper body/torso done and when you got the head done, you can easily join them at the neck part. Simply put the neck part with the flaps inside the hole of the torso and pull a bit through, and when it’s inside, glue the flaps from the inside of the body and turn them over and glue it tightly on the body. – At this point don’t forget that there is a decorative neck-part with the 3D green crystal as well, so build those separately first, and when you are about to put together the neck and the upper body/torso, just slide that on to the neck and glue the flaps of the neck on. The neck decoration is shorter than the whole neck, so it should fit on easily and just slide it all the way back, so you have space to really firmly glue those flap parts of the neck inside the torso.

Once the glue dries a bit, I always put additional curled-up paper bits inside the neck, because it’s the smallest part and can be easily bent if not careful, so be sure to reinforce that part when you assemble it yourself (and add the small 3D crystal o

When the upper body is made, all you got to do then are the 2 skirts and the legs. I built the 2 skirts separately, and first glued the upper frilly dress on the body. The second skirt will be glued on the legs when made, because joining the whole papercraft in the hips, where the skirts meet, is 100% the easiest way to do it.

I made the legs separately, by starting from the bottom. Built the boots first and make your way upwards till you get to the underwear. Since her legs are slightly bent, I recommend putting in weights inside both of the legs. That is why I built the legs separately, and put in some small pebbles inside, so they are sturdy enough to carry the weight of the upper body.

Once you have the legs with the weights inside, glue the second wavy dress on the underwear flaps first, and then glue the same flaps with the upper body inside the skirt. Again, since the parts are not visible with the finished papercraft, just slap that glue on and adjust it together at the right angle. And there you go, all done.

One of the easiest papercrafts I have done recently, so it was really refreshing making her. And she looks adorable, of course :) Sadly I got to say that the Beatrice papercraft I also made out of the Re: Zero series is bigger than Emilia (since I did make her bigger because of all the details), so they don’t fit together 1:1, but I still got 2 characters done from the anime, so that’s a win for me.

I hope you like her and that it gave you some inspiration to try yourself at papercrafting. Happy crafting everybody~
