KALTAIN in Black and Gold

Y'all, this was a stupidly fun papercraft to build. And it’s huge. 16 x 31 inches! (by comparison, the recent Wicked King papercraft is 11 x 14″) I really had fun experimenting with this one, especially with the colors. I limited my selections to vibrant reds and dulled blues/greys and really stretched the color contrast muscles. Paying homage to the brilliant book covers, I imbued a crow/cityscape with a collage of elements inspired by noir, art deco and M.C. Escher. And I’m super happy to let Nina finally have her waffles.

I’ve had this planned since early last year, and finally decided to build it in celebration of the King Of Scars release…but then Netflix dropped their news about the Grishaverse mini series!?! So let this papercraft be my mortal sacrifice to the book-adaptation gods to bless Leigh Bardugo and Eric Heisserer & crew on their venture!

Did I just agree to dance with Mr. Darcy? It would be most inconvenient, since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity.

look, if my ship has a possibility of going happily-ever-after canon six years after ½ of it left the show and three years after the other ½ left (in the meantime of which they had a secret kid) and when one was presumed dead, then literally anything is possible and i have hope for all my other defunct babies out there
