Hello Kitty kimono built papercraft

Hello Kitty kimono built papercraft

Since I posted the template already, I also wanted to show how she looks assembled and here is the preview and some tips for the build for those wanting to buy here.

    

The template was already released for this and can be previewed here btw.

All my papercrafts come with the blank PDO file for an easier assembly but I do like to post some tips here and there, to make the build a bit simpler yet.

          

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

Best you start this craft with the head. You can make both ears separate and then astart making the top of the head, gluing on the ears on both sides, and making your way all down to the neck part. Once the head is done, put it aside and you can start making the 3D bows, both hands and both legs.

Leave those aside as well and make your way making the 2 sleeves/arms of the kimono and join them together at the neck part. Once the neck part of the kimono is done, you can attach the pre-made head on there. From here on it’s best to assemble the pieces on with the craft flipped over, because the head is quite heavy on its own. So, flip the craft on its head and build the remaining parts of the kimono to the bottom piece. Here, you have the last 2 dark purple parts of the kimono bottom to put on, one on the inside of where the feet will be, and the other to then close the bottom part.

Now that the papercraft is closed, all that remains is to put the pre-made separate bow, hands and feet on there at the right angle, as well as the 2D whiskers, and the craft is finished.

The crafts stands perfectly fine as is, but before closing the kimono with the last dark purple piece, you can put in weights for additional help. And I also suggest reinforcing the neck part when you put it on the kimono, so it holds nicely as well. A bit of tape from the inside to hold it still so it won’t snap, and it’s good to go.

Hello Kitty kimono papercraft

Hello Kitty kimono papercraft

Since I made most of the known Sanrio papercrafts already, it’s finally time to also include the most known one: Hello Kitty. Not my favorite really, never really liked her because she is girly and pinkish etc. BUT, since I am an artist, I can re-define the character however I like in my esthetics, and let me tell you that the color purple actually suits her 500% better XD

   

The papercraft is unfolded to a height of 15 cm and includes a Hello Kitty kimono papercraft, separate 3D hands and feet (so it’s simpler to assemble), 2D whiskers and her bow decorations and her separate 3D bow. The template consists of 4 pages to print out, so nothing that hard or too time-consuming to make.

The template, when you buy it, includes all PDF versions as well as the PDO for simpler assembly (as do all my papercrafts I sell), so there is nothing that hard to build that would need mentioning. Probably the hardest parts are the separate hands and feet, since they are the ones with the smallest parts and you do need to close them before gluing them on, but again, not too fiddly. I would say this is a 5/10, suitable for beginners as well as advanced papercrafters.

         

***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’ll be sure to post the assembled preview pictures when I make her myself, so you’ll be able to see how she looks printed out and glued together.

I hope you enjoy the papercraft in any case and happy crafting~

Tinkaton (Pokemon) papercraft

Tinkaton (Pokemon) papercraft

Worked on these 2 babies for a week now, since I wanted to finish them this year still (AND I wanted to be the first to release my fav gen9 Pokemon in papercraft-template form; can't wait to see all copies) XD Obviously talking about my humanoid Tinkaton and Tinkaton Pokemon dynamic diorama papercraft! Ever since I started playing the new Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet games I have been in love with the Tinkaton evolution line and I wanted to make one cutie for myself as well! Not really a fan of the pink, and the shiny form only changes the hammer color, but damn, I am even loving that on this design so much :D

   

The papercraft, of course as all of my creations, is 100% made by me. The Pokemon as well as the humanoid 3D model each have their own textures I hand-drawn and each contain 2 UV-maps for all the details. Scarlet/Violet do actually have newly designed Pokemon models and newer, more detailed textures in the game (who would have though Gamefreak even gave so much effort for a game in the last 15 years... but that's a story for another time...), but they still look pretty crappy and I like to draw and color them the way I think look adorable anyway.

         

The papercraft itself is unfolded to about 20 cm in height, and consist of a separate humanoid Tinkaton, a separate Pokemon Tinkaton, their 2 separate hammers, the 3D crumbled rocks around them and the 3D stand itself. All in all, the papercraft has 17 pages to print, and you can make both of them or just the one you like, since it's a dynamic interchangeable papercraft template that you can choose what to build and how to pose it on the stand.

The Tinkaton Pokemon definitely needs to be glued on the hammer itself to stand, the humanoid version needs to have the hammer supported with the rock at the bottom to stand, since the hammers are both HUUUUGE and need support to stay in the pose they should :D

Just so you can see in any case that Pokemon papercrafts can also be made from 0 and not just copy-pasted from the ripped 3D models and still look 200% better and original if you make them yourself. But I also got the Pokemon ripped from game as well, if anybody wants a commission made out of those. You can view the details of my commission work here and contact me anytime in a private message:

Hope you like them both and I'll try to find some time to assemble them as well next year. Happy crafting~
