My Work

Here is another theme for the big-head toy.. and yes.. i modified it a little with extra folding positions etc. Just trying to make the toy a little more sturdy.. i've found the head to be very fragile.. so i guess this does help a little.. and i told before.. if you are uncomfortable with the folding.. just glue them :)

While browsing through some of the paper toy galleries, i came across a really cool toy. It had a hood, the dude had a black face, the hood was yellow in color and was wearing jeans ofcourse. So after i made the grimm reaper, i decided it would be nice to attempt making a toy which resembles the one ive' seen. While working on this, i realized the hands of the Big head toy are kinda lame, so modified them too. Ill' hopefully be able to get the print out and make the toy soon, don't hold your breath for that though... :) ps: Time and again i keep experiencing problems while putting the big head toys together. The trick to get it right is to cut the slits precisely. Happy toy making..

Hope you have seen the new template that i made. It's a little hard to make, easy to cut though :)... but looks pretty amazing. Note that if you find it difficult to cut and fold the paper through the slits, just glue them instead. Any way.. here is a new theme for the toy.

Don't you love the look of the above paper toy?? .. well i totally loved it.. and guess what.. I had to go over the design a couple of times before i got it right.... well what are you waiting for go grab the template yourself and make your own unique toys. I will as usual try to post some themes for the toy myself.

Here is the second toy in the castle crasher series. This one is one of my favs' i haven't done a lot of shading. I've tried to keep it simple and true to the original inspiration. I actually made a 3D model for showcasing the paper toys but haven't done the texture yet.. So stay tuned for that.. mean while here is the schematic for the Bear Castle crasher.

If you have been following the xbox live arcade scene, it's hard to miss games like castle crashers. The good old hack and slash genre in 2D, has co-op both offline and online. It's a lot of fun to play too (from what I heard). So any way.. got my hands on an image which had icon sized images of various characters in the game. I jumped to the opportunity and made a paper toy using these images as inspiration. So here goes our first castle crasher paper toy.

I've got to admit.. im' pretty bad at shading and colouring... so pardon me for the bad shading in this theme for the paper toy.. but ive' got to keep trying right :) hopefully some day they will be awesome you know just like what most guys put out there.

Used the template i created to make a pirate.. found this very nice image online, thought it would be perfect for a toy. If you have some experience in texturing 3D models, you should be able to create new toys using the template pretty easily. Here is the original image (some obscure site .. through google images) And the corresponding toy theme on the template :) pretty neat haa. well today for the first time i discovered the anti-aliasing problem while using the fill tool in gimp... that lame tool keeps leaving gaps near the anti-aliased lines so this toy is a little rough around the edges.. hopefully will figure out some solution to this problem by the next time :)

As is the case with the programs we write, the bikes we ride, the language we use... paper toys require fine tuning too :)... here is the fine tuned version of the template i created. It's got good looking legs now The Neck region is scaled to be smaller than it used to be. Removed the black filling in the flaps. So that people can just download this template and draw on it instead of having to edit it before doing anything. Merged all the parts into a single image file.(one printout one toy :))

I have been working on refining the schematic i used for creating dexter (prev post) so that people can use it to create custom paper toys. The feet part of the toy is still a little primitive and i am working on another template which has better design for the feet. I've even created a blank paper toy (without any eyes, etc.. just cut and fold the template to get the blank toy). Thought it would be nice activity for the people to come up with whacky faces etc using this template. I would work on putting out different themes for this toy but im' currently hard at work for creating a new template for a paper toy, once im' done with that.. may be ill' try working on this. And here are the pictures of the paper toy made using the blank template.

After i came across the cubeecraft.com website, i've been downloading the schematics and making various toys from the website. one of my colleagues was interested in seeing a Dexter (from cartoon network) as a paper toy but unfortunately cubeecraft.com did not have it. I was going through other paper craft websites linked from cubeecraft and was really impressed by how many types of paper toy templates are available out there. That sparked off the intrest in me for making my own template for paper toys. I've tried my hand at making a paper toy using the template provided at cubeecraft.com, then decided to combine templates from other websites and come up with a good one to make characters like afro samurai, and the evil monsters in Samurai Jack. These initial undertakings went puff as the papertoys looked ridiculous. Which made me thinkg about making just a simple paper toy.. you know with just one cube/cuboid. Fortunately the dexter's images led me to a pretty good paper...

Have you ever come across something so incredible that you were hooked for quite a few days before you could get it out of your system?? .. well happens quite frequently with me.. :D. The other day i was going through the http://lfgcomic.com/ site and found a paper toy schematic. The toy looks like it is made of cubes but it was really cute.. so i went ahead and took a print out and started making the toy. On the toy schematic i found the website which does these designs and bam.. there i was in a fairy land of paper toys.. these are really amazing and i really enjoyed making mine.. ive' made two but with the black and white print out.. i really like the hellboy paper toy and i think it should be on everybodys' todo list to make one such toy :) check out your favorate one at cubeecraft.com and make it yourself.
