- If you're going to use any of my crafts and stick pictures of them on dA, please at least give me credit for the template.  I must say that I work hard on these designs, so I'd at least like the credit for them. :T  I've found an instance with my Toshiro design where the person who used my craft copied it onto a piece of paper without printing it (I'm guessing), and the pieces are all the same, including the tuft of hair in the front.  This person only put "Handmade and coloured" in the description box without any link to my craft, which doesn't necessarily mean that he/she is saying that my craft is his/her own, but it still kind of annoys me that I don't even get credit for the original template.

- Please tell me for both manga/anime characters and for OCs whether you need your character before a certain date (like for someone's present or something).

For characters from any manga/anime:
1) Please tell me who you would like to request.  Full name and what series they're from.  And anything else you can think of.  No need for a biography though.
2) If this character has multiple forms/outfits (let's say Aizen from BLEACH and his Hueco Mundo outfit or his Gotei 13 outfit), please specify in which outfit you would like your request.
3) If this character is in both a manga and an anime, please specify from which you would like him/her.
4) PLEASE DO NOT request more than two or three characters at one time.  I have been asked to make four or five characters at one time, and I have said that I will do them, but I do not enjoy getting bombed with a giant load at one time.  If you do this, I will not make them all at one time.  I will separate them all out because I will probably not feel like making them all one after another.  I may even refuse to do them.  >:T

For original characters (OCs):
1) Please tell me the name of your original character.  Full name and everything.
2) Please tell me what anime/manga (if any) your original character is from.
3) Please tell me what race your original character is (ethnicity, skin color, race if they're not human, etc).
4) Please give me at least one (two would be nice, or maybe even three) reference pictures of your original character.  If I can't see any part of their clothes (shirt, shoes, pants, accessories, etc), I will assume it is just plain and leave out details or, for accessories, leave them out.
5) Please tell me if your original character has a signature item or weapon (Zanpakuto, food, cell phone, whatever).
6) If your character has different forms (child or adult, normal Arrancar or released, etc.) please make sure that your references are for whatever form you want.  If you give me references with all different outfits, please specify which outfit you would like them in.  If not, I'm just going to pick the first outfit you give me.

More general stuff:
1) I don't charge money/Points for my papercrafts, so don't ask for Prints.  I don't believe in charging for making stuff out of paper.  '':l
2) I'm a really busy person (college now), so don't expect me to have your requests ready by the day after you request them.
3) If there is something wrong with your OC after I show them to you, don't hesitate to tell me.  I will fix it!
4) I have released my own tutorial, but it's pretty wordy.


Tips on Making Chibi PaperCrafts
So here's a few tips for you who are starting to make papercrafts.
- For characters with a lot of black clothing or black hair... Cut out all the pieces first.  If there is any white clothing or white pieces (e.g. a shirt), fold those pieces first.  Also fold the head and any other light colors, and then fold your dark pieces.  Go to wash any black ink off your hands, dry your hands thoroughly, and get to gluing.  Glue pieces together (not on each other) in the order that they were folded.
- With any character, I'd suggest gluing in this order... Bangs to head/face, pants under the top, any overcoat/jacket over the top, arms to top/overcoat, the completed body to the head, any signature item to the arms.

- Cut out any parts on the darker or black lines.  On my models, for black hair, cut on the gray lines on the top of the bangs.
- If you need more help, feel free to contact me through a Note or a comment.
- For these chibis, I believe that you can print them and fold them on regular paper.  I only use 24 lb. paper, which is only slightly thicker than your regular 20 lb. printer paper, and they usually come out fine.
- Um, I think you can use these to play with if you really wanted to, but you might end up smashing them.  I suggest keeping them as eye candy only.
- Usually, the models don't stand up on their own (in most of my pictures, they're on their backs).  If you want them to stand up, I suggest gluing them onto cardboard or something.
