Tobyn Jacobs recently built six life-size models of hisfavoriteGenshin Impactcharacterswhile taking notes from SV.papercraft, a fellow fan and expert in paper crafting. By using official artwork fromGenshin Impactand an abundance of printing paper, Tobyn was able to create life-sized models of Ganyu, Amber, Noelle, Keqing, Barbara, and Xiangling. Additionally, Xiangling, Noelle, and Keqing’s commonly used weapons fromGenshin Impactare included in the respective paper models. For example, Noelle’s paper model may be seen wielding the 3-star Bloodstained Greatsword claymore, which is a common weapon from Mondstadt.
These new models appear to directly reference idle character animations and official artwork from event wishes inGenshin Impact. One of the most notable references to the game’s event wishes is Barbara since the paper model shares the exact same pose. InGenshin Impact, Barbara is a 4-star Hydro character that players may earn by summoning from the Wanderlust Invocation event wish.
Replicatingthe unique artwork ofGenshin Impactwith models made out of several printouts is no small feat. Tobyn’s work quickly garnered attention from several users in theGenshin Impactcommunity due to the life-size scale of the paper models and its accuracy. Fortunately,Genshin Impactfans wanting to create these paper models may do so with guidance since instructions by SV.papercraft and official artwork are readily available.
