Sleepy Bunny

Woohoo! I finally finished this Sleepy Bunny paper toy. Actually I have been thinking to make a bunny paper toy since the beginning I started this blog. The thing is my bunny 'Gourmet' always look better than my paper toy design, what a handsome fellow he is...

So here go Sleepy Bunny, he is always sleepy anytime anywhere. The other bunnies often try to wake Sleepy Bunny by bringing him to rock concert, bungee jumping or making him lots of coffee. Pictured here is Sleepy Bunny caught sleeping during dinner.

Quad

You might wonder why don't I post new toys as often as I used to. Well, there are some reasons for that matter. First is the dreaded time management cliché between office works and blog post (and sitting around), I think I need to hire someone to whip me every time I start to procrastinate. Second is because I'm trying to find a style that I can settle down with.

After many digital meditations (and sitting around), I think I'm starting to find the path to enlightenment. I always in love with strong graphic, the one with the aura of "Here I Am". Err.. I know that doesn't explain much, but I'm sure you have your own idea of that "Here I Am" thing (I hope..)

Anyway, this piece is called Quad. Derived from Indonesian word "Kuat" which mean "Strong". A colorful reminder of how a strong animal like a rhino is now also under critically endangered level, just 2 more levels to extinction that is.

Quad is my depiction of this gentle creature crying for it's survival.

Xroom

Ahoy.. I'm finally back with a new paper toy, Xroom! Actually before I got this idea, I'm doing a rhino but then I feel like its too stiff in term of overall pose and shape. Looking back to most of my previous work which doesn't have much movement to it, I feel like I wanted to do something with more kinetic design.

Xroom is a free runner that always go forward no matter what! Always confident, always progressing!



An update from Sir Gragon, he modified the arms to be attached backward. I like it!

CXV 25

More robotic design from me! I got this shape by playing around with grids and 45degree angle line, resulting a very geometric flow. My random story that comes with this design is:

CXV is the 115th model of the Crawling Xeno Vehicle developed from the foreign technology left by the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster. Combining foreign technology with ours, human started to create many CXV customs with special purposes. By the end of the 25th century CXV become the most iconic machine which can be seen every where from battle field to agricultural field, from rock concert stage to political stage. The nano technology also make the much smaller CXV become a little helper on your kitchen table or even surgical table too...

The one that you see here a standard CXV custom for the army.

Varna Lynx

At long last, after a very long stare on the wall.. I finally finished with Lynx's skin! I have to admit that so far Lynx is the hardest to skinned, I just can't find the right skin to apply...

This version of Lynx is called Varna (वर्ण), a Sanskrit word for 'color' or 'to enclose'. Varna is a boxer fighter who is having too much things going on in his mind. After enduring years of self conflicts, his skin turned into different colors, each representing different thoughts. The grin that once revealed every time he knocked his opponent down have now become a permanent memento on his troubled face.

Click here to see the finished Varna paper toy. Make sure your color cartridge is enough to print this dude, as you will need to print 8 A4 pages of this vibrant template. Before I came up with this design, actually I wanted to do a steam punk werewolf.. But til now its still remained as a sketch, hopefully it wont be very long til I turn it into paper toy as well...

UPDATE
If you switch the left-right upper arm, you will get a more relaxed arm pose!

Tomorrow I'm going to Jepara, a small town in Central Java to proceed with the wooden toy pre-production which is now called Solidboy. Expect to see more wooden beauty soon!

Cheery'Gloo

Meet Cheery'Gloo, a great Nogloo custom from our friend Papermate. I really recommend this custom as not only it requires no glue to make but it will also give you two designs at one go. Actually I'm supposed to post this last month before I get buried with my work, accidentally leaving this post as a draft. My bad.

Positiveboy

Have you ever experienced months where there are so many bad news came from people that are close to you? Well these months is my turn, after a series of bad news, the latest one came from my ex student who passed away few days ago. These are the days where I feel like I'm walking between 2 different world. The ignorant-suicidal world and the struggling-for-the-next-breath world.

ILL OMEN BEGONE!!!


This one is a variant to Fatboy, originally made for my friend with his positivity group 2 years ago. After seeing so many sombre news these days I think we all need something to keep us going and going and going... Every time I design a paper toy, I always remind my self to design something that will make people smile. If this one can make you smile, give me a buzz so I will know how many happy faces is caused by this yellow fellow!

TGP Alpha

It seems that it took me more than 24 hours to upload this one, Jakarta is having another major black out today, 5 hours with no electricity really crippled me. Can't imagine how will I spend the day if I'm thrown back to the era where people still use candle and wooden gears for the technology...

TGP was designed during the long days at the hospital tending my old man. Can't resist to draw the skull and syringe... TGP stands for The Great Pretender, I'm planning to design a different skin out of this papertoy template once a while. As for this one, I have to admit the Keith Haring inside my head is shouting really loud and I decided to listen to it. I've always wanted to design something with urban art doodle feel...

TGP's template is a bit tricky to build, I will redesign the template for the next skin so your life will be less miserable.

Oh, one more thing. I've created Saltnpaper facebook group, hop on so we can all poke around and feel free to post your photos with your favourite paper toys!

Another Nogloo custom! This time it's from the infamous Ben The Illustrator, he is the creator of the famous Speakerdog series.

Sofia Bali Custom (Barong)

My first custom ever. As a big thanks to 3eyedbear for designing Voodoo Stubey custom, I decided to custom his Sofia paper toy with Balinese touch to it. Bali is definitely my super most extra favorite island so far.

Focusing on 'Barong', the king of the spirits and also representing the good side. Balinese like to tell share their culture through dances and performances, as for Barong usually the story is about the battle between the good and evil. Balinese also believe that besides the good and bad, there is also the 'not so good & not so bad' aspect in life. Thus represented with the gray color in the checkered flag like pattern.

It would be cool to see designers from around the world introduce their culture in a funky way.

Nogloo #1

Hello friends!

Pardon me for not posting anything last month as I need to focus on my work, aside that my printer is still down. I really don't feel comfortable designing paper toy with no printer by my side, its like working with only one hand...

My new addition is called Nogloo. Yup, it requires no glue to assemble. All you need to do is to just slip the flap into the the slit on the other side. If you are a busy office people with no access to color printer but looking for a little fun, Nogloo is the right choice! Because its black and white and should take you less than 10 minutes to make. Last but not least, in the spirit of the tree hugger people, Nogloo came in A5 size paper as long as you don't click the 'fit to page' print option.

Sachi

It seems that I'm ahead of schedule this time. I found a lost dog last month... wait... the lost dog found me last month, that's more proper way of saying it.

One morning when I'm about to go to work, a dog came into my front yard and carelessly seat on my foot as if he knows me. As a person who never own a dog and even have a series of traumatic experience with dog, I was like "What the heck is this dog doing on my foot...". Since that day, that dog is attached to me and I started to learn more about overcoming my trauma and mild dog phobia.

This is Sachi, taken from Japanese word which mean happiness or good fortune, in Mandarin, the same character is pronounced as Xing (correct me if I'm wrong). Considering the high number of Stubey's download hits, Sachi will also play around your desktop, as a name card dispenser. He is quite simple to make, took only 1 paper to print. Less paper - less tree chopping - less homeless monkeys - HURAY!
