The good thing about these models, is they are incredibly easy to build, plus you can enjoy them even if you're not a Guild Wars fan. You can put some sweets inside while you build, & give them as actual gifts.

Continuing on with my Guild Wars Homage. These are the penultimate GW themed paper goodies. Most players will have come across all of these items, & probably received a good few of their own.

Gifts were always very cool to recieve while playing, & there were numerous ways to get them. Seasonal Events, Character Birthdays, Daily Quests etc. & I for one will miss them (Hoping for similar things in GW2) so here they are for you to build & keep as a memory of a favourite GW moment.

If you like these, or any other of my toys, tell your in game friends to come and visit my site. After all, I do this for fun, & I want to share with as many people as possible.

After having a look at a lot of Items & objects in Guild Wars, I decided on a few that I will reproduce as a Paper model, as a Homage to the game I've spent the last 6 yrs playing, & also something for fans to build & have on there Desktop to remind them of the good times spent in GW1. Here is the 1st item, keep an eye out on the blog for the others to follow soon.

The Baseball Cap template of mine has been around for a while now, & it's about time I shared some Customs with you. The 1st custom I did, was a special for Paperkraft.net, & will be available exclusively from the Paperkraft.net site.

This bundle contains the Blank, so you can do your own version, plus 8 other Customs which I've listed under the Image. I've also added a link at the bottom of the post for the Illustrator CS4 .ai file, so you can do a digital custom. If you want your custom adding to Series 2, just email me the finished template.

I'm just throwing a few ideas together at the moment for this logo, as MARA (Mature Age Recruitment Alliance) are looking to change their current logo, & have put out the request to members to come up with the new one.

The basic spec was to incorporate a Dragon, or part of one, along with the name Mara. Also, sections of it should be able to stand alone. Here are my final Logo Images.

Dragon head without Border
Stand alone Mara

I don't know if these images will be chosen as the new Logo, as judging isn't until July. I will just have to wait & see, but I hope they like them. It would be a good feeling to see them in use.

Being on a Guild Wars 2 theme at the moment, I have just finished a Papertoy based on the Red Servitor Golem Miniature, generally referred to as a Minipet. This particular Miniature is acquired through gaining a certain amount of points in your Guild Wars Hall of Monuments. A reward system for playing and achieving certain goals in the original Guild Wars.

The Golem itself is a creation of the Asura. A playable race in GW2. The Asuran's weren't playable in GW1, but they did feature as part of the Eye of the North Expansion.

I was planning to do a Charr, but as the previous post said, I was finding it difficult to get a model to look how I wanted so, did this one instead. I do like the rounded panels on this toy, it gives it a nice look.


I'm sure I'll be doing some more Guild Wars 2 related stuff soon, so keep an eye out for it. Something to keep fans busy until release.

I'm thinking about doing a custom Paper toy to look like a Charr, from the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Im sure you've heard me talk about that game before, and already worked out I'm hooked.

I haven't decided which model to use.. I have an "A" and a "B" option pictured below, but can't work out which will be best. There is also a "C" option which is start a new design. Let me know what you think.
If I don't get the Charr looking how I would like it to look, I could always do a Servitor Golem.
Updated Model

Being all geared up ready for the world that is Guild Wars 2, I thought I'd put this out for avid fans & new players alike to have on their desk. It doesn't hold water, but pens & sweets are all good. The best thing is though, it is emblazoned with the Guild Wars 2 Logo.

Hey everyone, I know it's been quiet on the Playing with Art front recently. I've been playing around with other designs that aren't paper toy related.

Plus with the impending release of Guild Wars 2 MMORPG, & the Beta Weekends. I've been gearing myself up for that also.

What I am working on, is an idea to create some of my own T-shirt designs, under the Label "Digital Action Hero". I thought it was a fitting name as I want to do Gaming/Urban culture related Vector designs on them.

Anyways, here is a couple of Logo's I plan to use.

If you want to Download the Illustrator CS4 file of a Blank Figure & have a go at designing an outfit for it., then you can Get it Here. Just make your outfit on the base figure, then export as .png at 75dpi. Use the Contact Tab to email me. If I get enough designs, I will start a separate blog for this venture.

Here is one I did, based on a Guild Wars 2 Necro Armor.
I will hopefully work on a Paper Toy very soon, so don't worry I haven't stopped.

Let me know what you thing to the Logo. Thanks, & see you again soon.

If you visit the Artwork Tab, there are quite a few more finished Action Hero's dressed to represent the Guild Wars 2 Professions

I used to play a lot of Magic the Gathering, & have recently started buying cards again, & having a play with the new mechanics. There are certainly some interesting new things to try.

I made this "Battle Station" as i've called it, to use for myself, but as always, I will share it with you. It is basically to add a bit of graphic goodness to the piles of cards that you get during a game. Namely the Library, Graveyard & Exile. With a nice area for tokens also.


All the details are Vector work, done in Illustrator CS4. The textures were added also using illustrator but I didnt make those, I decided to use some resources from other artists, as they were much more fitting. And of course it has some papercrafting in there too.

The background of the base uses a Grunge Floral by Arghus on deviantArt.
The textures for the 3 boxes use Cracked Plaster by Good Textures on deviantArt.
and also Tower of London Stone effect by Good Textures.

Thankyou to the above artists for providing such awesome resources, making it possible for me to create the MTG Battle Station. All that is left is to get yours now.

If you build & use it in a game, take a photo & email it to me so I can post here. I would love to see it in use.

This is not an endorsed product by Wizards of the Coast, & all logo's used remain the property of thier respective owners.

I got this one finished & built by the skin of my teeth in time for St. Patricks Day. It uses the Witchdokta template & is basically a Leprechaun head, playing a bit of Ninja style in his Top hat also.

I never did a Witchdokta custom, as I did the big Genetically Altered version instead, so I thought it would be fun to use it for the Leprechaun, instead of trying to design a new form.
It has a slightly evil look to it, but those pesky Leprechauns can be mischievous. The main idea on the graphic is quite stereotypical imagery of this mythical being, but the peeking eyes add a little twist to it.
