The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Life Size King of Red Lions Papercraft.
Papercraft wizard, Ninjatoes, has created a life size assembly of the King of Red Lions boat from The Wind Waker. Check his wordpress for more papercrafts you can do yourself.
Oh wow, this thing. I started making the (non-gigantic) version of this papercraft a long time ago. I think I stopped when it came to the sail and I ran out of storage space.
While this image in itself is humorous as well as shocking, it should be noted that Ken Sugimori was once quoted in an interview, stating that Game Freak’s artists not only have focus groups to come up with new Pokemon ideas, but they will often times GO BACK to old creature designs-from as far back as the Capsule Monsters concept art(art dating back to the 1980’s!), look over what they have, and heavily recreate and redesign the creature, and make it work in the latest Pokemon roster they’ve put together. Sugimori says it’s embarrassing to look at his old art(what artist isn’t shy about their older art?), but at least Game Freak has a gigantic springwell of conceptual creatures to choose from and revive for later generations to enjoy!
