Artisan Crafts / Dolls, Plushies & Custom Toys

Here's a 1:6 scale figure that no one would in their right mind would actually consider making: Aelia (Aimi) from Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. Most of you probably don't know who that is.

Made of over 50 Magic: the Gathering cards. Uses a pseudo Obitsu structure for the body, made of Magic: the Gathering cards. Fully poseable. If interested about the body base, inquire for details. References used: the Valkyrie Profile Material Collection Artbook.

Armor is made of Magic: the Gathering cards, 110lb cardstock and lots of toxic/flammable enamel paint. Armor is fastened by small belt straps and buckles made of ribbon and paper clips, so it can be removed entirely. Armor is not rigid; it allows the doll base underneath to move and do a variety of poses.

Spear head is made from Magic: the Gathering cards. Shaft is made from copper wire, a bamboo stick and 110lb cardstock. Sword is made from paper clips, printer paper and Magic: the Gathering cards. Sword can be unsheathed. Yes, that is a coil for a spear shaft. Yes, that's how it looks from the concept art.

Project started late February, 2009, finished June 13, 2009, working mainly on weekends.

How can you obtain such a thing?

~JNorad Jun 25, 2010

Just need enough Divine Materialize Energy and anything can be obtained.

mad props on figure articulation and construction!
very nice work getting the fine details!

i remember when i was younger i used to watch my friends play the first valkyrie profile, and i remember the art was fantastic.

you did a great job replicating the character in cardstock form!

Wow. That is bad ass!!! I have a question, is there a journal or site that describes your technique??? Also why do you use Magic cards??? Sorry for the questions I just find your work to be facinating. ^_^

~JNorad Jun 14, 2009

I try to log some of my techniques on my blog which can be found here: [link] . Right now, it's largely visual documentation on work progress. Any technique documented on my blog is something I still use and have saved for personal reference.

I played Magic: the Gathering from 1999 (Urza's Block/Mercadian Masques) until Mirrodin block, and over time I amassed a lot of unplayable cards that will never see use. I was working with papercraft at the time, and figured, "man, I have all these unplayable cards. I'm gonna see if I can make something with it." They proved to be strong, reliable building materials if prepared properly.

Hmm, interesting. Thank you for taking the time to reply. ^_^ Have you ever thought about making some tutorials? I don't know about anyone else but I know I'd be interested. XD Well keep up the great work. ^_^

~JNorad Jun 15, 2009

I'll probably try making something resembling a tutorial when I get a new project going.

Thanks for the support.
