*refrains from making a lame joke about papercuts*

I should go holding crafting moments for grannies and kids, I've been crafting so much lately. Two b-day cards within two days and now this.
But I've been wanting to make one of these for a long while and now I did. Think I'll make one of Marrok as well as soon as I'll have the time. |B

Whaaat? I couldn't even tell it's a paper cut out. So precise!

I absolutely cannot resist sharing this April Fool's video because it's very accurate demonstration of my craft skills. Laughing out loud Sorry.

Took me a moment to realize

Took me a moment to realize it wasn't just a drawing and Cut's actually standing there on his own!
Really like the cleanliness of it. And the fact that you did not one, but both sides? Kickass.

This is awesome. May I ask

This is awesome. May I ask how you made this? Is he just a symmetrical drawing folded in half at the spine, or..? His legs seem asymmetrically posed so I'm guessing that's not the case. I'd love to make one of these!

At first I saw this on tumblr and didn't realise it was a craft so I was like holy shit that is so good but after staring at it for a while I finally got it and I was even more amazed damn son I really like that last photo and the blurred background, it really fits.

Holy crap this is amazing!

Holy crap this is amazing! I'm interested in the technical part of it actually... Don't suppose you could take a picture from front on so I can see how the paper is stuck together? I'm interested in trying this c:

Thank you so much for the

Thank you so much for the nice feedback. I'm baffled to keep hearing people think this is a drawing rather than a photo. : D

And for those curious of the construction part:
Basically I would just glue two duplicates together.
First I drew the first part on thick paper, colored it and cut it out.
Then I used this piece to trace a duplicate piece on another paper. In this piece I changed the position of the character's other hind leg, brought it more forward on the duplicate. I also left the neck/head and tail off just to save myself from the trouble of cutting the mane and mouth again, gahh. It would have been a trouble. Luckily Cut's neck stripe helped to make it look more seamless.
Then I just finished drawing and coloring the other side as well and glued the pieces together. I glued only the top parts together and left the legs and bottom parts open so I could smoothly bend the legs apart enough to make him stand.

Hope this makes any sense to you guys. :>

Ah, thank you. Glad you like

Ah, thank you. Glad you like it so much :,>
Aaand no, I drew him straight on white cardboard. But I believe regular paper is good as well if it's not overly thin. Depends on how big you're making it, really. This one turned out rather big so I'm glad I picked the sturdier option over a regular paper. Those long legs would have turned out noodles on thinner paper. But with smaller pieces normal paper should work just fine! (and I bet it would be easier to cut as well..)

Thanks for explaining, and the picture really helped as well - otherwise it looks like PAPERCRAFT SORCERY.
It looks cooler every time I view this topic. You could make a Cut army littering your home >8D haha.

Off topic, but manta-cut in your signature makes me smile.
