Witch Braxien (Pokemon) papercraft

Witch Braxien (Pokemon) papercraft

I got itchy fingers and wanted to do some Pokemon papercrafts again. But none of the designers making Pokecrafts actually take the time to make their own textures and models (which is really sad, because the original models, no matter what, have an absolute crappy texture quality), so I wanted to take my time to make my own models and textures and make something special. – And since it’s the season of Halloween and overall dressing up as somebody different, I wanted to make a concept of that and made some cosplay Pokemon for those :D

So, paired up with my idea of Halloween and the Pokemon Café Remix mobile game costumes they put out, I decided to make a Braxien in its witch costume :)

     

The papercraft itself is unfolded to 25 cm, so the overall Model of Braxien should be about 20 cm high. It includes a model of Braxien, a separate 2D 2-sided coat, a separate hat, a 3D separate stick (with a 2D 2-sided flame), a separate 3D spell book and some 2D decorative bow. 

All separate ad-ons are optional and fit Braxien exactly, so you can simply add them on or off, however you feel like displaying it. The template itself has 6 pages to print and can be somewhat difficult to make, because of the tiny whiskers’ parts and such, so I would say a 5/10. Also, considering that it is quite top-heavy because of the ears and hat and pose, it would be best to fill out the legs with weights as well, so it stands better.

Hope you like my take on the Pokemon and that gives a bit of a spark in the papercraft community to try a bit of a different approach to Pokemon papercrafts in general and what can be made in terms of motives as well as execution.

Enjoy and happy crafting~

The premium template for this cute chunky kitty has already been shared, and now it’s the reveal-time for the assembly preview as well. So, TA-DAAA, here is the little loaf :D

  

The base template preview is already posted and can be viewed here (and bought by contacting me in a private message so I can send you the PayPal for the deposit, as always):

The template, when purchased, does come with the included blank PDO file as well, but some tips along the way that can maybe help you make it even simpler can be read here. So, here goes.

 

ASSEMBLY TIPS:

I always start from top to bottom, and since the flaps are also positioned that way, I do suggest you also make the head first and close it at the bottom.

Start by making the 2 ears, the 2 front legs and the tail separately. The most “difficult” part would be the tail, that you start at the tip and go along to the beginning, and maybe helping yourself with a stick or tweezers to close it up, since it has a too-narrow part for fingers to fit in. Take your time and do it slowly, aligning the simple textures of the fur.

Once you have those parts, start making the top of the head, gluing on the ears, and continue downwards, gluing on the front paws and at the end the tail. When you got everything together and the tail glued on firmly, simply glue the bottom flat part on there, and the model is done.

Additionally, you can also glue on the back whiskers on when the model is done. I also colored the backside of them black so they look neater and glued them at the parts the PDO shows. But these are optional parts and you can leave them out if you don’t want them.

In any case, it should be a really easy craft to assemble. It probably took me 4-5 hours to make it, including cutting out all of the parts. And it stands without problems or additional weights inside as well.

               

Hope you like the little cat-loaf papercraft and that you’ll visit the site of the manga/anime creator as well to support the work :) The link can be found in the template link.

Do enjoy, have a wonderful kitty-filled-cuteness-day and happy crafting~

Kyuruga (Yoru wa Neko to Issho) papercraft

This manga/short anime is absolute S-U-G-A-R. It’s so adorable and I want everybody to see it and watch it and love it XD Please visit their Youtube and support the manga creator as well:

It’s a really cute 1-2-minute-long anime adaptation of the manga of a fat little funny cat named Kyuruga (from the derivation of the word “QR-code” in Japanese) and his owner that is getting to know the wonders of owning a cat and what all comes along-side it. Even the name of the cat alone is so funny and cute XD I love everything about this.

So of course, I had to make my own cute little Kyuruga in papercraft form :)

       

The papercraft itself is unfolded to a 15 cm height and has a 3-page template to assemble it. It’s a basic 3D model of the fat little kitty in his sitting-loaf form, where the back legs are hidden in his fat/fur XD as well as optional 2D whiskers. Should be simple enough to make, the only small fiddly parts would be the tail parts, so I would say it’s a 4/10.

The papercraft is purposely made really simple, since I wanted to mimic the minimalistic take of the work and imitate the simple fur design of Kyuruga as well, so it was super fun to make, since it was just easy and relaxing to make, without any messy small details.

  

I already made the loafy cutie for the assembly preview, so look forward to that as well :)

I hope you give the manga and the anime a chance and that you find the simple yet adorable animation style as charming as I do! Enjoy and happy crafting~
