Anime Papercraft Scenes

Paperchild by Lowra Depicts 2D Characters Interacting in a 3D World

— February 21, 2013 — Art & Design
Paperchild by Lowra, a talented illustrator, is a fun papercraft photography project that centers around two dimensional characters interacting with a three dimensional world. Inspired by the manga anime artform, the characters all have a distinctive look that goes well with such Asian treats as Pocky sticks, not to mention other traditional Japanese props.

Illustrated by hand and then cut out, each character in the Paperchild by Lowra has been thoughtfully crafted to better integrate in a carefully staged scene. Whether that is eating a big slice of cake or reading a thick graphic novel, the characters really appear to be part of the action.

Fans of the series Paperchild by Lowra can now request commissions. Although the artist is still figuring out the kinks, it will make each artwork more entertaining.
