Have you seen this dragon?

Post by chris_t »

Mainly posting this because it sounded a nice story! It's from about a month back, a friend passed it on to me. But also, whoever folded it must have been pretty good, so I thought there must be a very slim chance that they'd read this.

(Anyone recognise the dragon design? Looks a pretty complex one to me. Waterloo to Sherborne is just over 2 hours, I'd say that must be some fast folding, or else they had it prepared earlier!)

Yep, Satoshi Kamiya's Ancient Dragon.
It's not perfectly folded but you can recognize it easily.

Chris, look at the size of that thing! It's realy small!
And not to be an asshole, but have you even tried the AD? It's hard to even get good results from a large sheet.

But true neutral is boring. Trust me, I'm a DnD nerd.

if you are not good enough with folding a small ancient dragon: take a bigger sheet...

I've done P&P RPGs for more than 15 years really active and believe me: there's not such a thing like a neutral master. :D

maybe I did the dragon... but thats not the point.

That dragon is awful! My nyan sphinx is better than that! (2Nd arf url, 3rd one down). The only good thing about that is the head and that's inacurately folded. Do you recognise this dragon is a good title for this topic. It isn't worthy of being called an ancient dragon, but if you assume it isn't an ancient dragon, it's quite good. If it was meant to be an ancient dragon, sorry to the folder!

I feel like we need to keep a bit of perspective here. I'm a bit surprised at the random criticisms of the model. It was clearly done on a train, with copy paper. Some of you clearly feel that you personally would want to spend more time, use a nice big bit of double tissue and create a polished model. That is your prerogative. Whoever folded the dragon did not feel that way. Or maybe they were doing a test fold. I'm sure yours would come out far better. Well done.

The point of my sharing it, as I said before, was that I thought it was a nice story. I also thought that it would be cool if the person who folded it happened to see it (slim chance, I admit). Now I'm not so sure, as they will also come across unnecessary criticism. Admittedly, along with a number of kinder comments from some others.

Be nice!
