Superbowl XLVI - An Unofficial Papertoy
In honor of the upcoming Superbowl 46, & the fact that I still had an un-customised Throwback template, I decided to do 2 customs, & set them head to head against each other. One for New England Patriots & another for New York Giants. Who will win the Superbowl, I have no idea, but I want to know who will get the most Downloads.
The big game is just over a week away, & I will be watching (timezone permitting) otherwise i'll have to catch a re-play.
So, time to take place in the Paperbowl, & see who will win the download championship.

Vector LED Lights (Illustrator CS4)
Here are some LED's you can use for images. There are some pre-created Letters & Numbers, but you can Grid them however you like.

The download is available from My deviantART Page & is in Illustrator CS4 .ai Format.
Paper Street Racer Custom
On my quest to work through all my Blank templates, & make a custom of each one. The next one up is Paper Street Racer. I added the word street to the original name, because it was originally designed to be a street racer, & I didn't want it to be confused with the iPhone app game called "Paper Racer".
With that said, here is my 1st custom of the template, sporting the Killer Snake that I designed to be used as an actual Car Graphic. The body is not based on any one car, I just shaped it to be a Coupe style.
As you can see from the pictures, there is a gap in the graphic to accomodate the Wide body kit pieces, but from a full side on view the image does line up perfectly.
The download contains an updated blank from the original version, & the Custom pictured above. So you can build this model & then design your own by printing the Blank PDF, or using the Illustrator CS4 file to create a Digital custom.

Redheaded Monkeys T-Shirt Design
I recieved an email the other day from Liz Woodrow in Katy, TX. & she has started her own company, creating T-shirts with Rhinestone & Screen-print designs. The company is called Redheaded Monkeys & you can go check it out & see if there is anything you like.
The reason for this post is Liz wanted to use one of my designs, The Peeled Heart, on a T-Shirt, & of course I was over the moon about this. It is always nice to see your work used in such a unique way.
Thx Liz for using my Design & I hope it's popular.

CCG Deck Holder
Welcome to 2012, & the start of a new year of Paper Toys & Models. With my Son getting a little bit older, I am starting to get a bit more free time, & have started to look at my Magic the Gathering CCG collection. With the release of the Plainswalker Cards & the Innistrad Block, it is looking very exciting & I wanted to make some new Decks to play.
With new decks, I need Deck Holders. Instead of buying them, as they are quite hard to find here in South Africa, I decided to make one, & give it a nice Papertoy feel to it also.
I've tried to give it a Steel Flightcase type effect on the skin, with an area for the player to write a description of the Deck inside. This box will hold standard sized Cards from MTG, Pokemon, Moshi Monsters, etc. all kept in protective sleeves.
The legs are borrowed from Wheelman, as they worked perfectly I thought there was no need to design anything different. The photograph above is actually holding a deck of Cards inside, so it will stand no problems when full.

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.
