Full size (http://img139.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img139&image=hbpaper23en.jpg)

Still got a bug or two to work out of it, but it's pretty cool, eh?

I also forgot to make a set of "shoulders without duster", but who doesn't love the duster anyway?

I'll put up pics of one actual put together soon.

[petriacce]

Oh Sweet! Will this be available in a PDF to print off :D


or is it one of a kind? :cool:

That's just great!

[kid cthulhu]

I'd love to make it a PDF, if...uh...

Somebody minds running me through it?

Call me "slow", but I'm still a computer illiterate for the most part!

Anybody mind giving me a quick tutorial? I'd love to send it out to you all as a PDF...

[petriacce]

Do you have Adobe Acrobat (the full version)?

I suppose it doesn't have to be a PDF. Are you hosting a high resolution graphic file of the paper doll. That would be just as easily downloaded or e-mailed. PDF was just the first file type that popped into my head.

Thanks Kid C.

[shade13]

KC, that just rocks! Awesome job man! :D

[jnapper]

VERY COOL! :)

These are a few paperdoll/coloring books I collected in high school--
(The covers are wonderful, but they don't really reflect the beauty of the line-art dolls inside.)

Infamous Women
Messalina, Agrippina, Lucrezia Borgia, The Empress Woo, Catherine the Great, Catherinelde' Medici, Mata Hari, and many others, all with their exciting histories and loveliest dresses.
http://www.bellerophonbooks.com/women.htm

Great Women Paper Dolls
From Sappho, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and Pocahontas to Susan B. Anthony, Florence Nightingale, Golda Meir, etc., each with a lovely costume and a proper speech for the cause.
http://www.bellerophonbooks.com/women.htm

Alexander the Great
The moments of his life are illustated here, along with the golden relics of the people he conquered. His story is told by Professor John K. Anderson.
http://www.bellerophonbooks.com/ancient_greece.htm

A Coloring Book of Ancient India
Alexander to the 12th Century, from Sanchi, Barhut, and Sarnath with stories of Hindu gods and goddesses. Ride with Durga and dance with Siva. See Maya's dream and princesses playing.
http://www.bellerophonbooks.com/ancient_misc.htm

A Coloring Book of Ancient Rome
The art of imperial Rome is amongst the most glorious ever. All the Caesars - Julius to Septimius Severus, are here, with English and Latin text, and Chariot races, etc.

Kool Kid C! I'll love to see it put together. It's quite beautiful laid out on the paper just as it is too

[kid cthulhu]

Nice links, Lady J.

I have a bit of a fascination with Lucrezia.

[Johann]

cool idea, can't wait to see the finished version.

Speaking of paper arts, this is a neat little .gif of an Electra (in origami)--

Building an Electra:
"A multitile object named 'Electra' consisting of 60 tiles is build, the little animation shows the work of two people in nearly one afternoon including a tea break."

I just love the paper doll idea! Can't wait to see it completed.

I've been wondering whether to ask someone to make a pattern for a Hellboy doll for stuffing. I'd print the pattern on fabric, sew it up and then stuff it with batting. Just the thing for keeping those big bad ole nightmares away!

Has anyone done anything like that? You have to allow for a 5/8ths" seam allowance all around the doll.

Thanks for the links, Jonell. I can't wait to check them out!

[Conundrum]

Too cool! I want one. Er, three. Cause I'm sure my daughters will steal mine if they don't get their own :rolleyes:

Oooo! That would be so cool Andrea!!!!

Hahhaha-- when I was little, I had this fabric doll from France that was Little Red Riding Hood on one end, then you would flip her over and move the skirt to reverse it and then it would be the grandmother in a blue night dress. And then if you turned the grandmother around and moved her nightcap over her face, it would be the Big Bad Wolf in Grandmother's clothes. Man, that was a pretty cool doll!

[kid cthulhu]

That sounds awesome!

[hellboyone]

Very cool. I bet the Japanese paper doll sites would love this.

If you want a pdf version, I'd be happy to convert it for you, kid.

My maternal Grandmother had one of those Red Riding Hood dolls, in her "toy closet" where we kids would spend most of our time when visiting her house. I wasn't a doll fan, but it was a cool toy. The original Transformer!

R.They aren't dools. They are plush action figures.

[jnapper]

The original Transformer!

I never thought of it that way!! Yeah!!

kid cthulhu, if you ever do one for Abe (or the rest of the crew), you could have a whole collection. (It really does look cool!)

Once I get replacement ink for my printer, I'm going to print it and try it :)

[kid cthulhu]

Yeah, I've been thinking about that!

[black eyeliner]

plushies and paperies [is that even a word?] this looks like so much fun!
just when you thought you could do nothing else with paper. heehee
once i visit all the paper doll sites im gonna need new ink for my printer :]

[hellboyone]

They aren't dools. They are plush action figures.

Okay. But what's a dool? :)

R.

[Celtic_Fiddler]

Okay. But what's a dool? :)

R.

Something that rhymes with cool? :p

Andrea

[petriacce]

Okay. But what's a dool? :)

R.Uh, it's the original word for doll until the famous incident of 1632 when the king misspelled the word and had two people put to death for giving him crap about it. Everyone started using doll instead of dool. :D

- OR -

It's a masculine friendly word for doll:

cool doll = dool. :cool:


Okay, I'm done.

[kid cthulhu]

Pics!

This first one's a little blurry, but the second one hopefully makes up for it!

WOW WOW WOW!!!

So cool!

And the lab stuff(?) looks cool too!

[gary bolt]

kid c, that is one cool dool! :cool:

Please make equally cool Abe and Roger paper dolls.

[petriacce]

Ha...ha...that is great. Never really seen paper dools before, but I like what I see. They can get very elaborate it looks like.

Great job Kid C. Do you care if we print out the large pic and make our own? What type of paper would you recommend?

[kid cthulhu]

No, I wouldn't mind!

I made it with this board in mind, and was hoping to be able to put up a PDF file so you all could make some decent quality copies for yourselves.

Whatever works for ya, by all means, please go ahead!

I'll take all the explanations given. Thanks. :)

Kid C: That thing is WICKED cool. I'll definitely be making one of these soon. You don't happen to have a higher resolution version, do you?

R.

[Brisco]

Thanks, KidC! That's really awesome. Love the head, especially. And the RHOD. Cool all around. I shall be putting the office color copier and glossy heavy stock paper to use...

[Teratomarty]

So! Nifty!

I especially love the tiny little legs.

Incidentally, I just noticed that this is my 100th post. Gee... I guess I just really don't have that much to say.

You only need Adobe Distiller to create .pdf files, which I think is free, if I'm not mistaken.

[citymadeofash]

Higher resolution! Higher resolution! Higher resolution!

Please.
hello all... long time reader, first time account user :p


Anyhow, I'm really excited to make my own hellboy paper figure, though I'm in the same boat with everyone else. Please... higher resolution!!! *Hoping to print this bad boy out at 300 dpi on good card stock*

cant wait til its sitting atop my bookcase along with my other figures :D

[kid cthulhu]

Doh!

Sorry I put off replying to this for so long...

I'm gonna work on getting a PDF out to you guys, but as I've said before, I'm not very compu-literate, so it may be a little while.

You guys will definitely be the first to know!

[Mikolaj]

Damn... i don't remmeber having this much from fun putin anything together since my last Lego- Pirates ship(and that was LONG, LONG time ago...). Thnx! :)

[kid cthulhu]

Did you actually cut it out and put it together?

Hope it looks alright is all, at that crappy resolution.

[Mikolaj]

Yeah i did... I have a "left hand of doom" thnx to my stupidness but... A Paper Hellboy's a paper Hellboy. :D I had some problems with his legs and hands- mainly becouse of my lack of talent and shaking hands but it seems that some of the "white-glue-me-parts" ought to be cut a bit so that everything fits. Still- VERY nice work!! I had some reall good time!
