Description ~Rising Dragon~

Titled "Rising Dragon" because...its rising out of the black curly stuff!! AHhaha (darkness)

Started on it yesterday, it's about 12cm tall and made entirely from white textured card, black paper, sticky tape and glueXD i did some minor colour adjustments using photoshop.

The original plan was to make the whole torso, including chest and wings, however i made some wings but they turned out really bad and just didnt sit nicely, also i chose the wrong card to work with. Although it had a cool texture, it kept splitting at the edges and points (which you should be able to see), so alot of the horns n spikes are shorter than they started off as because i kept trimming them to make them sharper><

Im really happy with how this turned out, my favourite part is definately the head least favourite? hrmm probly the positioning of the arms...but i couldnt think of any other way of putting themXD

Im also entering this into =Ruth-Tay 's competition for fun as......The Dragon of Armory cos..he is pretty much all armour(white plate armour)

omg this is the most i've ever written for a submission so il stop there AHhaha

...now, onto the requests...

=EDIT=

Wow, It's hard to believe this is even made of paper.

What did you use, and is there any way you could put up a tutorial for this? I love doing origami, so I'd like to try this, even though it looks alot more complex than a traditional origami crane. XD

Richi89 In reply to Ginnunga [2009-10-06 02:20:08 +0000 UTC]

Sorry I never made a tutorial for this n I listed all the stuff I used in the comments There isnt really a set way to make this stuff, just score and fold card to make it 3d then glue it to other pieces to slowly form what u wanna make i guess

Ginnunga In reply to Richi89 [2009-10-09 14:37:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see! I had at first thought perhaps it was origami, but I suppose you really couldn't do something this complex and solid while following the traditional rule of no cutting or pasting. I'll have to just mess around and try it out! Thanks anyway!

(this piece, again, was just brilliant! <3)

You should market/sell these, they'd sell faster than crack. Or make a book full of these so you wouldn't have to hand make em.

XD I know I'd wanna try to make some

Richi89 In reply to Kiwi-Fox3 [2008-09-05 07:55:15 +0000 UTC]

oo how fast does crack sell?? and how do you know this kind of stuff?!?! hahaha

Hehe i think it would be a long long time before i end up publishing a bookXD and i doubt theyd sell that well haha im actually in the proces of making another one, based on my oriental dragon. Its been at the same completion stage for ages because i just cant seem to get the arms/legs right-.-"

I know due to friends (more or less ex friends), from my parents, and of course, the media.

But yes, I do think that there are at least a dedicated 20,000 people out there in the world who would pay 30 bucks for an advanced origami book. :3

They might not sell off the shelves in a matter of months, but they would be popular with the experienced artists

And... kick your dragon for not working right. kicking things solves every thing.
