When bored I often create papercraft models for myself and friends to enjoy. While I used to utilize graph paper, I recently bought software that will allow me to begin making printable templates. As I'm already hard at work creating my own knight, I wondered if there is perhaps a market for custom papercraft of others' knights as well. Outside possible custom orders, I will also be making some NPC templates so those who don't want to spend CE or crowns on a paper model of their knight can join in on the fun too.
SK Custom Papercraft: Is There Any Interest?

How much for one, actually? I'd like to put a few gremlin figurines around my place.

I would be interested, but wouldn't be willing to pay to get my own. However, I would be more then happy to test your templates. I've already done a fair amount of complicated papercraft so far.

PS I didn't create any of those templates, just printed and made them

"But how do you plan to secure the transactions? Your papercraft plan and CE/Crown trading cannot be transmitted simultaneously."
If you aren't taking the payment up front, the best thing you can do is provide the template in question but shrink it down and cover it with a watermark to make it unuseable, but it provides proof that you held up your end of the bargain. Then you can wait for the payment before completing the transaction.
That's how you should do it if the commission is a sort of drawing or image. If it's an assembled papercraft then photographs should suffice.

Thank You, Wuvvums
I was definitely questioning how I would go about ascertaining payment after Evilnut's point, watermarking a smaller version of the template should work perfectly though. Thank you both for your responses and advice.
Iskender: I don't want to put a price on anything before I have an example of what exactly you'll be buying into. If you stick around though, I should have my knight done by tomorrow knight, and if not I can send you a message when it's finished :D
Molwar: Most of those are more complicated than I'm expecting to make right now, though I would love to have someone testing my templates!

Make sure the watermark is
Make sure the watermark is prominent too. If it's light people may just ignore it.
I'm interested in what some of these will look like. If you could somehow make one of the stylist NPC I would love to play around with that c:

Papercraft?
Is this like Origami or something? If it is, I'd really be interested in maybe a few weapons/Knight armor sets =D

Nice idea!
I used to do papercraft a lot a few years back.
Some SK themed ones would make me start back up for sure.
Not too hot on paying for them but i'd throw a couple hundred CE your way, i know it can be a pain in the ass to design them sometimes.
Some models i'd like to see: Gremlins, Snipes, Strangers, Zombies, and maybe some bosses like Snarbolax, Roarm Twins, & Vanaduke

Knight Template
Just finished the initial template for the shadowy little knight beneath all our armor c: Going to build it up and post a few pics here, if you guys think I should alter anything let me know.
Wuvvums: That's definitely going to take some work, but it looks exciting! • 3•
Iskender: Sounds good to me!
Tayath: This site should give you a pretty good idea of what papercraft is.
Monsoon: Ah, Snipes! I hadn't even thought of them, they're going on free design list right after Monomi

O.o
Same as Moonsoon; I wouldn't mind throwing some CE or gear your way for some epick papercrafts. If you took commissions I'm sure that'd be good =D

Papercraft you say.
I used to do origami, and it's similar to papercraft. Only without using glue, scissors, and a template. I would be interested to see your work.

This would be super
This would be super interesting. I'd have to see the quality of the models before I'd be willing to pay, but I would be VERY interested in such a thing.
Or, perhaps, an art trade? I do illustrations.
