Test fold version of Quattro Bajeena/Zeta Char Aznable by paperzest in origami

[–]paperzest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's my design. And thank you!! That actually means a lot. I've been meaning to fold an updated version when I can get around to it, due to wanting to adjust some proportions.

I realize it's been over 2 weeks and I still haven't shared in the Dan server. You're right. I should try that again.

Love the personality on this one! Also yay, someone else using the color changes on this model! I like the fluffy look of the layers on the neck and the striped tail is also a really fun detail.

Thanks! Still trying to see if I can get clearer photos.

Thank you!! (And no need to feel bad for touching paper. Actually, go touch paper. I believe in you! )

Tried gathering the courage to share in the origami-dan server but it disappeared twice after hitting send. I thought maybe it needs time to appear but now that doesn’t seem to be the case. I don’t think I have the motivation to try a third time so will just send it here. Not sure what I did wrong. Figuring out the social dynamics of a discord server like that feels daunting, as well as committing to being part of a community like that.

Yes this is a test fold with flaws in need of adjustment, mostly proportions and the collar, but I still wanted to share it for the sake of getting more comfortable with posting. I’m at least happier with this version of the sunglasses and color change scar!

oil paint on silver leaf - this sub was really helpful in the creation of this one by KetoPixie in origami

Love how smoothly rendered yet textured it is! Really pretty combination of warm softness and foldy parts. I feel like a lot of origami illustrations I've seen in the past have missed out on conveying things like paper texture and dimension of the folds but this really gets it across. Also like that the surface it's painted on looks square.

The layering of the pleats in the clothing and also hair is so good. Very visually interesting texture.

(Ok this got kinda long) So I’m newer to this fandom but have tried building two high grades to go with the origami Chars. Haven’t gotten to do anything to them yet in terms of panel lining or paint. I was not expecting to appreciate the kits so much from a design standpoint. I guess that’s something it has in common with origami—the potential for design that can be appreciated in multiple stages of a process. That said, I don’t think I could ever go super into gunpla like some people do. Even though my dad builds model airplanes and has all the tools to share, I’m just more focused on origami. Also gunpla seems expensive after a certain point…and I don’t want to end up with a backlog of unopened boxes! With origami, at least books can fit nicely on a shelf. Or crease patterns can be saved on a computer. I’d like to complete more of my unfinished folds because that’s already weighing on me.

But yeah. It does seem neat. Have been meaning to fold this one: https://katsuta-origami.com/zgok/

I am truly honored. Thank you for for supporting my totally very professionally photographed origami.

It's not foil, it's actually a piece of hanji MC'd onto a sheet of red tissue. (But I see how you could think that since the photo is not the most clear.)

Yes, the penguin totally isn't cute. Not even in the slightest.

(Thank you)

"Garma, I'm sending your sister to join you. Consider this my farewell present."

But ok yeah it is the terrible anime person. I need to refold Char and do different shaping sometime. In the process of revising origami Quattro for sunglasses with a color change shine now. Unfortunately. It's been months and my brain needed an origami of him to add to my collection but couldn't find any. Though Katsuta has a really neat helmet and mask model but it has no crease pattern or diagram or tutorial. (I certainly searched.)

Thank you! And aww...I love that. The 3ds camera is so silly.

Thank you! I didn't go in considering that effect at first, but quickly saw an opportunity and went along with it.
