Already released the Riko (Made in Abyss) papercraft template, which you can find here:

And now it's time for the assembly preview and the built itself :)

        

As always, start with the head by making the face + neck, and then the back of the hair. Once you have that, make the 2 pigtails separate and glue them inside the remaining holes and glue it firmly (in this step you can also put in some rolled-up paper parts inside the hole and the pigtail so it holds better and it doesn’t snap off, just to reinforce it. And at the end, glue on the explorer hat and close it at the top with the last piece. Head, done.

Next move to the 2 gloves, 2 hands and the jacket (with the top torso part that is attached to the jacket and build all of these separately. And when you have these, just simply glue them together at the right angle with the remaining flaps, and assemble the arms with the jacket part as simple as that. Arms + torso, done.

All you got left are now the inner torso part and the legs. Start this by assembling the 2 shoes separately, and then the legs, building from bottom to top, until you got the whole body done. Once the legs with the inner torso are done, glue the inner torso to the upper part you already did, the jacket. It should fit nicely at the front, and make sure the flaps all fit inside (the backside of the jacket and torso coming together isn’t visible at the end anyway, so you can safely just glue those separate parts together to make it really easier with the assembly). Whole body, done.

Next, glue on the remaining shoes you did at the right angle onto the leg flaps (and add some weights in for extra stand support if needed), and Riko is done as well. All that is left are the smaller details you left out, such as the belt, the climbing gear in the front, the lamp on the hat and her 3D red whistle.

*Pro-tip 1: I left out the 2D rope part of the whistle and attached it on a real thread, so it looks more natural. It looks even better with a slightly thicker thread if you have it, and a brown-color as well, so try that out and have some fun with it :)

*Pro-tip 2: I also cut out the 2D lens part of the glasses and glued see-through foil you can get from any food packaging or those folder maps to make it more real-glass like. Really makes the papercraft pop-out with these extra “gimmicks” to you switch out on a papercraft model.

All these tips and assembly instructions become clearer when you buy the template and get the corresponding PDO file that let’s you know how to make it and shows it to you in 3D, so no worries. Once you assemble it yourself and need a tip or 2, you can read my notes on here to get a better idea on how to make it simpler and faster, that’s why I am writing these anyway.

              

Hope you like her, and that we get that new season and game soon as well! (You can find the game and when it’s coming out on Steam btw.) Sooo hyped for the game!!! Can’t wait XD

Enjoy and happy crafting~

Atelier Ryza built papercraft

Atelier Ryza built papercraft

It’s now been 2 years since I released one of my favorite and most detalied premium papercrafts I have done since the beginning. That was “Ryza” from the game “Atelier Ryza”, of which I love all the Atelier games!

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Atelier-Ryza-Reisalin-Stout-papercraft-855499324

         

I am crazy for them XD And since the Atelier Sophie 2 game came out this year as well, I felt a bit nostalgic and decided to finally make my Ryza Stout papercraft and here it is :)

  

The papercraft is a typical humanoid craft, so best to start with the face. Once you have the face and neck, make the front hair bangs and then close with the cap top. Then you can make the yellow jacket separate, while leaving one of the shoulders open to be able to slide it on at the end. That way is the easiest. The wand can also be made separately.

Once you have those, assemble the hands and arms and make the accessories for the arms to put them on. Attach and glue the hands on the first half of the torso you make, and then you can glue the pre-made head on, and you can even extra reinforce it from the inside by putting rolled-up waste paper from the cut-out inside, so it doesn’t break. After it’s all neatly dried, build the remaining part of the blouse and you can glue the jacket on at that point and glue it on there. It should stand on without any additional gluing on btw.

All that is left to do is to make the legs. Start with the shoes and built it slowly up to the stomach. At this point you can fill out the feet with extra weights to make it more sturdier standing up (though it is able to stand without extra weights inside). And if you are happy with those, glue the remaining flaps from the stomach on the upper torso with the arms and head you done before, and finito :)

Make sure when you glue together the legs and torso that it’s glued on at the right angle, so it is able to stand on both feet. That’s all the “magic” there is to it. Everything else is, as always, written and seen in the 3D preview of the PDO assembly when you purchase the template, so it’s all self-explanatory.

*Note that the hair strains on both sides of the face has a 2-sided texture in the PDO you get when you buy the template, so that part where it’s white on my preview is actually hair-colored. I forgot to print it 2-sided when I made it XD Yes, even "pros" get stuff wrong some times as well. We are all human, stuff happens :P

I hope you like my Ryza and that you give these Atelier games a chance and try them out. I really fell in love once I tried just 1 of them, and you got at least 7 different versions of the game, each with own gimmicks and main characters and story.

Enjoy till the next release and happy crafting~

Bear Wedding Pair built papercraft

Bear Wedding Pair built papercraft

Looong time ago, I made a Wedding Bear pair papercraft that was made by me seeing a similar free-hand craft on Twitter:

https://www.deviantart.com/antyyy/art/Bear-Wedding-Pair-papercraft-876860308

 

Although I am not a traditionalist in the least and not a sympathizer for people “needing” to be wed at all costs, because I detest religion of all forms, I do understand that people want to express their love to each other and people still do have a wish for these kinds of symbolic gestures. So, I decided to make it, because if nothing else they are super cute, and I think they do represent an everlasting bond between 2 people really loving each other and wanting to be together all their lives. And boy, do we need love now more than ever!

Anyway, I finally managed to assemble these 2 cuties and here they are. Of course, they can be combined with 2 grooms, 2 brides, bride and groom, or whatever combination you choose to make. But I made both versions of wife and husband so you can see how they both look.

             

For the assembly itself, there is nothing special to say. Both are basically designed the same, consisting of separate boxy-like pieces, that you then glue together at the end. Meaning you make both ears separately, then the boxy head separately, the snout separately, the torso separately, the roses (which are each made out of 3 2D pieces you simply glue together, very easy to make) and other various parts and you simply glue them all together at the end. Pretty simple, but maybe a bit more time-consuming, since you are making each piece on their own. It probably took me 18-ish hours to make both of them, but I do assemble these things pretty fast.

Everything is written and shown in the 3D preview of the PDO file you get when you purchase the template, so no worries. It’s all shown there and it’s a pretty relaxing and fun craft to put together :) Especially as a gift at a wedding, for a decoration at your own wedding or anniversary maybe, or simply because you like them and want to display them in your room.
