Undead Wyvern
This model's subject is inspired by an undead wyvern character from a video game. In this game, the character is essentially a skeletal ice-breathing dragon that was reanimated by necromancy and placed under the control of undead armies.
I folded this model from a duo-colored sheet of unryu and tissue paper, and I used the colors for different purposes. I used the white side to represent the bones and skeletal features. I used the purple side to represent the fleshy regions and the colored regions of the model in the game (purple was the original color in the game). I used the texture of the paper to portray the nature of the tattered flesh or bones.
Regarding design and folding techniques, I was able to use color change folds to show the appropriate color for each of these regions of the model. I designed the base using box pleating with polygon packing with a few unique qualities. I made flaps that protrude outward on both sides of the paper so that they could use both colors, like white ribs and purple back spines. I also found ways to unsink and redistribute paper between neighboring flaps to create things like the wing flaps and the skin flaps between the spines on the back. Unlike some other dragon models I've seen, my dragon's bat-like wings have been packed with flaps allocated for each of the digits and elbow for a clearly defined structure. I had to make adjustments to the packing pattern to allow for the creation of skin flaps between the digits and maintain alignment and proportions with each other.
Since I feel that my model has portrayed and interpreted the subject well through design, paper qualities, and folding techniques, I believe that it deserves consideration for the award. Thank you.
