Mechabunny "Demon Bunny" Custom

I should have posted this already but anyway, here it is.  A Mechabunny Custom I did for Nick Knite's Mech6.4 Collection
It's so cool to be a part of something like this, where multiple Artists all design different takes on the same blank template.  You can download this & all the other Mechabunny from 6.4 & previous sets from Nick's Funk Food Blog.  Go check it out & have a look at all the other cool stuff while your there.

Customisable Surfboard & Jaws Custom

Ok, I realise this is the 1st post I've made this month, but I've been playing Guild Wars quite a bit still but I'm still here, and the toys won't stop coming.

As it is the beginning of Summer down here in the Southern Hemisphere, I thought it would be a good time to share this design with you.  It is the 2nd in my "Board" series.. the 1st being the Skateboard.
This one is a Surfboard.  The download contains the pictured Jaws custom, along with the Blank version so you can do your own designs.  Which I would love to see by the way.

The model contains a spine to add rigidity to it, the dimensions of it can be found in picture form, in the included image files in the download.

My 1st Magazine Feature

Recently I did a custom of the Uber Leet papertoy, & I designed the graphics on it specifically for NAG, a South African Gaming magazine.  I wasn't sure what the outcome of it would be, but they decided to include the completed template on the free DvD that circulates with the mag.  There was also a mention inside, about my blog.


This is a big step for me with regards to local exposure for my Designs & Artwork.  So big thanks to NAG & to everyone that has encouraged me to get to this point.

The success of the blog (Huuuge thx to Paperkraft.net) has been awesome too, as this October is the 2nd month that I have had over 4500 page hits for that calander month.

Keep visiting me, & letting me know how i'm doing.  It's your regular visits that keep me making toys.

Genetically Altered (Mutant Size) - Baron Samedi

I didn't think I was going to get this model done before the end of October.  With the ever nearing release of Guild Wars 2, & my Hall of Monuments to be filled, I've been spending a lot of my time this month playing my favourite Online MMORPG Guild Wars.

Here it is though, the 1st custom of the Mutant Genetically Altered.  The body alone is 12 inches tall, and with the Hat.. It's a big one.
The above picture is my Test Build, so there has been graphic improvements made since this was printed.  The reason I didn't rebuild is because it's a 12 page template, & I was trying to save paper & ink.
I wanted to do Baron Samedi this because I like the look of the skeleton body paint, & have always been a fan of anything of a macabre nature.

Halloween 2011 - Jack Skellington & CandyCorn

Time for Halloween again, & as it's my favourite Celebration, I've made two toys for you to enjoy.

The 1st is Jack Skellington using the Genetically Altered template.  There is a difference on this one though.  I used an easier build head shape.  I'm not stopping the Egghead version, but I will be using the new shape head for certain models aimed at a younger audience.
The 2nd is based on the very popular treat enjoyed around Halloween, & that is the Candy Corn.  I gave it a carved pumpkin face, I thought it made a change from seeing a pumpkin.  The cool thing about this toy is that you can fill it with Candy before closing it up & give it as a Trick or Treat pressie.  A paper toy with a purpose, after all, who doesn't like getting candy.
The last thing to say is, get them early so you can build before Halloween, & enjoy them as always.
30 days to go yet but have a Happy Halloween when it gets here.

Wallpaper - Potions for Everything

A Gaming related Wallpaper.  The idea came from the vast amount of Coffee I drink while playing MMO's till late most nights.  Enjoy, & keep coming back.

Tiny Tiki Custom

Finally got round to doing a custom of my Tiny Tiki template.  I wanted to do this earlier but kept getting side-tracked in to other stuff.  It's here now though & I hope you like it.
I used the same pieces as the previous blank I posted, but there are numerous other pieces to use if you want to design your own.  The download also contains the Blank in pdf (CS4) format so you can print out & design by hand, or open in Illustrator & do a digital custom.

Enjoy the toy & please Contact Me & send me any pics of Tiki's you build using the template for me to share here with everyone.

Wheelman, Burn Rubber Edition

To start off, I'd like to say, I've been designing Paper toys for exactly 1 year.  The way I approach the designs has changed a lot from my 1st toy, but the enthusiasm hasn't dampened at all.  I'd like to think i've come quite far this past 12 months.

To celebrate, here is a new design toy.  After doing a custom of the Ye-Bot by Marko Zubak, I thought I would like to do a toy where the main feature is the Wheel, & also trying to keep an Urban Paper feel to the design.  And so Wheelman was born.
I'll be the 1st to admit that in building the above example, I put the head on slightly skew, as the spokes should be symetrical, but I hope the picture still does it justice.

The wheel on this particular custom is based on the Hyundai i30.  This is the car I drive at the moment, & I think they are awesome, so that's what I went with.  There will be other customs to come, so always keep an eye out for them.

Here's looking forward to another year of Paper Toys & Digital Art creations.  I hope you have enjoyed visiting my site, & will continue to do so.

Genetically Altered Custom - Naruto

I'm feeling lucky this week.  Another Genetically Altered custom from my friend KapiLefty, this time it is Naruto, another Anime character.  He certainly likes his Anime.
Expect to see more from this guy, as I've already had some sneak peaks at his next couple of models.
