Crease Patterns

A direct edge graft to my Pleat Armor design. There is plenty of room for custom shaping or altering the structures with the residual flaps. This is less of an efficient design and more of an experiment. This still results in a pretty interesting designs.

Probably my most efficient design to date. This is heavily inspired by the scale pattern from Joker's Rathalos design. I found that you can create a cool shape by pairing the pattern with a shifted down version of the pleats. The goal of this model was to incorporate the pattern in the arms, legs, and torso.

I wanted to design a generic male base that I could shape into whatever pose. After spending a ton of hours shaping the first fold, I realized how much potential there was to add expression to the fold. I have gone on to fold three vastly different versions from the same base.

I wanted to design a generic female base that I could shape into whatever pose. I ended up adding more details than I thought, such as the color change hair. The name comes from the "vibe" of the first fold I shaped. Check the fold out on Instagram to know why. Since this is based on a low grid, it is extremely useful to practice posing and shaping a humanoid figure.

Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto is such a great read. Im a fan of all the characters and thought
it would be very interesting to make Denji with the chainsaw head and arms. I already
had the general structure in mind, but it turned out to fit much easier into the crease
pattern than I thought. To be honest, the legs were so lazily designed that
if you look closely, you will realize it is very "cursed" color-change for no reason.
Feel free to try better legs or use the extra paper for more details.

Tower Guard - Inspired by the Gondor Guard of the Citadel from the Lord of the Rings Books and especially
the unit from the RTS game, Battle for Middle Earth. This was designed and folded within one week to submit to an Origami Dan Monthly design contest. My fold was with 1 meter thick craft paper which was highly unideal but it allows the model to stand all on its own. It is quite an inefficient model but the results are pretty interesting.

My design submission for the IOIO 2021 Design Challenge: Sea Tales.
Due to the time constraint, I find this to be an imperfect design. While it looks great for the submission, it suffers from the same shoulder design flaw as the regulator which wastes part of the arm flaps to have proper proportions. Have a go at folding this design if you would like! The collapse is about the same difficulty as the regulator and has a lot of room to add small details.

My most technical design to date. The chest armor shifts up from 32nd divisions to 16ths, the head and boots are 64ths, and the pistols are 128ths. The use of such partials leads to a great amount of efficiency and low layer thickness. There is enough room that the middle flaps can be turned into a sword to close the back of the model. For those who choose to fold this model, try the pistols+hand+arm area with a 24x24 grid first before folding. The pistol sequence comes from just a corner flap but the shifters flip the grid to form the trigger in the correct location. There will be a tutorial for just the pistol but not the whole model. Despite being very complex, the gridding and precreasing will take you less time than folding a regular 64x64 grid [I think].

Use no smaller than 1x1m paper, or face consequences lol.

This model was designed for battle where the topic was “human history”. I saw it fitting to interpret a momentous part of human-origami history. It is also an origami folding an origami ;).

This design started as a sketch of a blintz base. I had no design subject in mind but it somehow turned into a bunny girl. This is quite a satisfying model to fold and you can find a tutorial for it on my YouTube channel.

The Knight of the Dragon Slayer. This time it is mostly symmetrical and features flaps in the chest for extra shaping. Check out the tutorial on my YouTube channel. Use as large of a paper as you can.
