Human models gripping things
Human-like models are probably my favorite origami subject, but I have a complaint. Those models that grip things (mainly swords but other objects too) do not have a "clean" transition between hand and object and it looks aweful. Maybe the only exception to this being Eric Joisel's Lord of the Rings series in which the object is not just an extension of the flap from which the hand is made, but an independent flap coming from the other end of the paper.
So if anyone knows a model that has a good hand-object transition, please post it here or if anyone is up for the challenge, go ahead and create a model with this condition.

That exactly.Jonnycakes wrote:By "clean transition" do you mean the sword comes from the hand flap and not somewhere a little farther down (wrist or forearm)?
That seems like a good example of what I mentioned was desirable.kplank wrote:Hi i belive that Nicolas terry Gobelin series have that quality you want. They are not realy humans but kind of!!!
But in Nicolas Terry's Goblins the sword comes from the same position as in Joisel's Lord of the Ring models, so it isn't really attached to the hands. One of the best solutions I remember was by one of our Forum member who took Nicolas Terry's Winged Warrior as a base and turned the wings into things in his hands. Being a second flap you can take care to get nice hands but have enough paper to shape the object within the hands.

What about Hoang Trung Thang's Soul Hunter? The hand gripping the scythe seems pretty clean to me.

Gerwin Sturm's 3 Swordsman and Kamiya's wizard are also good examples.
Tran Trung Hieu's Sima Sakon is also a good example(if the sword is from the same paper......)
