TWO SIDES / ONE PAPER CARD

A little cup.
A little steam.

Choose two pictures.
Put them back to back.

Make a paper companion from two poses in a cel drawing. Keep the complete source, inspect how the pictures line up, then cut and assemble one proof.

The sample is a starting point. To draw your own, keep complete JSON at the cel desk ↗ (new tab), then open that file here.

A cup on one side; its handle and steam on the other. Choose two poses from any complete cel drawing.

YOUR PAIR

Which two?

Both faces may use the same pose. Changes keep all eight source poses and their timing; Undo keeps the last 30 whole-pair changes.

This is a still overlay for placing the pictures. It does not simulate a spinning card.

Inspect the scenery and all eight source poses

The complete drawing stays.

All eight cels, shared scenery and timing are retained, including poses that are not on the card.

KEEP BEFORE YOU GO

Three useful copies.

Pair JSON keeps your two choices, paper and complete source. Complete cels JSON goes back to the existing cel desk to edit the drawings. Print SVG is the measured paper sheet; it does not reopen as an editable drawing.

Preparing another copy replaces the ready one. Choose Keep to save it. A changed pair retires the ready file.

BRING A DRAWING / RETURN TO A PAIR

Open every pose.

Choose one complete cels JSON up to 32 KiB, or pair JSON up to 64 KiB. A drawing starts with poses 1 and 2 on your current paper. A pair restores its own choices and paper.

80 MM / TWO SIDES

Print one.
Make one.

The preview keeps both pictures upright. On the printed sheet, only picture B is upside down. The little triangles mark the same physical edge of the finished card.

  1. Print your chosen A4 or US Letter SVG landscape, single-sided, at actual size / 100%. Turn off fit-to-page. Measure the scale bar: it should be 50 mm.
  2. Cut both 80 mm circles. Turn B left to right, keeping its triangle at the top, then glue the blank backs together. A piece of card can sit between them. Keep both marked top edges together.
  3. Match and punch the two opposed hole marks. Tie a string at each side, wind the strings and let them unwind.
  4. Use this first proof to check scale, assembly and the result before making more.
