Designed and folded March 2021
Paper: 60cm black single tissue, with white acrylic on one side
This model was created for an origami design contest with other highly talented designers, so I
needed this one to be as impressive as possible by flexing the most details, color changes, and
shaping that I could.
Using painted single tissue was an actual lifesaver, in fact I had originally folded it from
wenzhou before realizing it wouldn't work and starting over completely.
Painted single tissue was the only thing that could hold the strong black-white contrast I needed,
while still being thin enough to shape tiny skull details and create a thin ragged look on the robe.
This model has a lot of details. Essentially the way it's done is that the body is just a huge center flap, and everything else (skull/hood, bird, arms, knife/belt) are placed around the edge, which also allow them to be easily color changed.
