Ancient dragon, designed by satoshi kamiya and folded by j.w park. This method wastes the initial foldback (and do not skimp here, foldback enough so you are convinced the edges are aligned properly – as much as 1/2 a squares worth) but once you have a true perpendicular you can then reliably fold squares from the roll.I made this cp after not being able to find a proper one, based of a photo of a cp at an origami convention. Using this new landmark, I fold the paper back on itself, aligning the edges and aligning with the diagonal landmark and that gives me a perfect square. Then I fold a triangle down to one of the roll edges – this gives me where the square will end (triangle = 1/2 square on diagonal). I use an envelopener (purchasable from ) to split that crease, but a careful razor or sharp knife could also work. What I do is firstly make an assumption that the roll edges are true (straight) – I unroll a section and fold it back on itself, lining up the edges then creasing to get a true perpendicular. Large media is a pain to work with, you gotta be patient and gentle with initial construction folds.
With some wire, a little MC and some patience, these legs and toes have HUGE modeling potential You can see he is now a set of legs and shoulders, knees and toes – the bundle of paper in the middle will be sheathed in lovely scales, no idea how yet but you get that So I sent my photos of proof to my Sensei and he asked if he had sent the MODIFIED versions featuring legs and toes…no said I – bugger.Īnother 12 hour fold, this is lesson 11 Version 2 complete This is attempt #3, it is not very tidy in places and I will probably attempt it again (just to prove to myself it was not a fluke) but fairly happy to have wrangled so much paper away: Lesson 11 – complete: What an intense fold – so much happening at once and a terrifying glimpse at what is ahead. Lesson 11 continues to perplex me – wondering why attempt 2 was so difficult, I try to collapse the feet after doing the shoulders only to realise I had done the shoulders UPSIDE DOWN, meaning all the pleats were running in the wrong direction … live and learn I suppose It is not all plain sailing – Lesson 11 is a bugger – a pair of legs and shoulder assembly that is (so far) beating me – First attempt at least found one of the feet on one side of the shoulder patches but I could not find the other foot among the plethora or crinkles – I think I will be more coordinated next attempt, and have learned a lot about careful persistence with this lesson (logic tells you all these folds can not co-exist, but they find a way): Lesson 10 – Spine Break (to make room for shoulders) I found out that I had been given an old version of lesson 8 – so got an updated one that included shaping of the toes, so re-folded to try it out: Lesson 3 – Scales and shaping – the model has 2000+ of these little blighters, better get good at them Lesson 2 – Transition units – that transform wide pleats into smaller ones Lesson1 – Blocks to fans, fans to blocks, blocks to summits and back again (4 different lessons in one)
I hope I am skillful enough to learn how to fold it … we shall see. The Crease Pattern is terrifying (but if you look closely you can see head, body in 2 sections, claws and tail … well, I can): It is a long and winding road towards folding the whole thing from one square of paper – that road consists of a myriad of skills, techniques and components all designed to tuck away 70%+ of the sheet revealing just the dragonny bits. This blog post chronicles my progress so far. He sends me lessons, I must complete them neatly and photo-evidence back to him before he sends me the next lessons. I am honored to have been allowed to learn how to fold Satoshi Kamiya’s Ryujin 3.5 by an extraordinarily talented folder who goes under the name “MrOrigami”.
