Attack on Titan 3-D Paper Diorama

In preparation for Taiyou Con, I created this 8x8 3-D paper craft of Eren from the anime, Attack on Titan. The background was a pain to cut, but I think it turned out great.

Ghostbusters 3-D Paper Diorama

This 6x8 Ghostbusters logo paper diorama was made as a Father's Day gift for my dad.  He is a huge Ghostbusters fan and spent five months building a proton pack for his Phoenix Comicon cosplay.


Rainbow Dash 3-D Paper Dioramas

These two 6x8 paper dioramas feature the My Little Pony, Rainbow Dash.

FLCL (Fooly Cooly) 3-D Paper Dioramas

My favorite show of all time is the 6 episode long anime, FLCL.  I first saw it in college and I've watched it countless time.  Each time I watch it, I notice more and more.  These two 3-D paper dioramas feature Naota holding Haruko's bass guitar after the climactic battle.  And yes, I watched the entire series when making these pieces.



This 8x8 piece is made of five layers each separated by 3 layers of illustration board for an extreme 3-D effect.  I hid the Takkun, the cat, in the top layer and I added the Medical Mechanica building to the bottom layer.


This 6x8 piece features a larger Naota in one layer which is raised by three layers of illustration board.  It is a combination of my silhoutte and 3-D diorama work.

Reading Girl 3-D Paper Diorama

Along with the Minecraft and Dory pieces, I was commissioned to create this reading inspired 6x8 3-D paper diorama.  It features the likeness of the customer's daughter enjoying her favorite pastime, reading.  I added the swirls in the background to add a sense of whimsy to the piece.


Minecraft 3-D Paper Diorama

I recently made two of these 6x8 Minecraft 3-D paper dioramas.  One was for a commission and the second was for my Game On Expo appearance.
