# Quilled Paper Anime Creatures These Quilled Pokemon Portray the Popular Creatures in a New Way By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-04-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quilled-pokemon References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2014/03/30/Beautiful-Quilled-Pokemon/) & [wholedwarf.deviantart](http://wholedwarf.deviantart.com/gallery/) These [quilled Pokemon art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-pokmon-sets) pieces create very realistic images of the Pokemon in a way that hasn't been seen before. While Pokemon art has been done and re-done since the inception of the series and brand, these quilled Pokemon bring originality to the franchise. The art of quilling is an art that not many know of. It involves using rolled up pieces of paper to create images. In the case of deviantART member Wholedwarf the images happen to be some of the [original 150 Pokemon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-palworld-stitch). From Squirtle to Nidoking, the quilling remains true to the original form of the Pokemon it's being use to emulate. When looked at from afar, it even looks like a flat image or painting of the Pokemon rather than a complex spiraling array of colored paper. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Quilled Paper Art:** Exploring the art of quilling to create intricate and realistic images using rolled up pieces of paper. - **Reviving Traditional Crafts:** Bringing back traditional crafts like quilling to create unique and innovative artwork. - **Anime-inspired Art:** Creating unique and expressive artwork inspired by popular anime and manga characters using quilling techniques. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Crafts:** The art and crafts industry can explore new techniques like quilling to offer unique and innovative creations. - **Entertainment and Media:** The entertainment and media industry can incorporate quilled artwork inspired by popular anime and manga characters for promotional materials. - **Education:** The education industry can introduce quilling as a creative art form in schools and workshops to encourage artistic expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anime Creature-Inspired Exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-crafts-exhibition.md) - [Eroded Cartoon-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystalized-squirtle.md) - [Elevated Anime-Inspired Home Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-pokmon-mosaic-collection.md) - [Anime Creature-Inspired Crystalized Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-creatureinspired-crystalized-sculpture.md) - [Plush Anime Monster Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokmon-squishmallows.md) - [Bedazzled Anime Pendants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-ice-x-pokmon.md) - [Bronze Crystallized Art Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystallized-charizard.md) - [Anime-Series Collaborative Art Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-gogh-museum-1.md) - [Anime-Themed Home Decor Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemon-and-karimoku.md)
