'Swire the Elegant Wit' is one of the personifications of Feline (Tiger to be precise) from the game Arknights. The gorgeous swimsuit and cute personality of this character inspired me to start designing this work in August 2023.
The tiger-like tail and the striped pattern on the swimsuit are the challenges of this design. The color flips of origami usually implies more complex structural requirements. However I tryed to use 22.5 degrees instead of a high division of box pleating. The principal reason of my choice was that nowadays more and more origami designers, especially those who design anime characters, prefer to use 22.5 degrees so that those works can be much more easier to perform the smooth curves of the body and limbs. Besides, larger scales of models means more possibilities of operation and more availabilities of dual-color paper.
Before finished my design in January of the following year, I have tested so many structures and have decided the distribution as the attached image shows. The structure transformation of the Swire's face and fringe is special and of course the alternative pattern in black and white is my favority in this design. And thank you for your appreciation of my work at the end.
