World of Papercrafting returns with life size Illidan statue

In the full version of the picture, you can see just how tall this thing is standing alongside a chair and a dresser. It's not quite as tall as Illidan would actually be, but that doesn't change the fact that it's huge for a paper sculpture. Also, a truly life-sized Illidan would have a hard time fitting inside of your bedroom, I think. The wings aren't attached to this sculpture yet either, which will be a whole new level of awesome. Unfortunately, Syih says the wings are coming out a little too heavy for just paper to support. There's been some bending and tearing issues.
Syih has a few others as well: Thrall, Kael'thas, a tiny Dwarven Rifleman. They're all smaller than the Illidan statue, but all quite awesome. You can either check out Syih's thread on the EU forums, or take a look at our World of Papercraft gallery, which contains both Syih's work and that of previous Papercrafters.

I think this is proof that Blizzard needs to hurry up and release the new content. When a WoW player has that much free time on their hands, we have problems. Mad props though.

Impressive paper work, but DAMN someone needs to learn to take better pictures.

If I woke up with that thing in my room next to me I would probably freak out. Hard.

Life size is 4' tall? I always thought Illidan was taller than that. I guess he's like Tom Cruise that way.

Definitely the best use of "he's like Tom Cruise that way" I've ever seem in a forum!

Tower, this is Ghost rider requesting a flyby.
That's a negative Ghost rider, you are not prepared!

I always enjoy seeing the many, many different ways WoW can leak into the real world. Awesome paperworking skills!

Fake! Obvious photoshop there. But nice try.

prove it. i think someone really does have this much time on their hands to make one. after all it's not impossible, just time consuming.
awesome job! i've gotta make me one of these. but i'll start with the small ones.
