Monthly folding challenge August 2017

Post by Sunburst »

The topic for this month is «movement»

Rules:
- One sheet of paper of any starting shape
- You can do anything you wish as long as it appears to be moving
- No STATIC pose allowed
- No «falling» movement. Too easy.

Feel free to ask questions about the topic for more clarifications if needed.

Get ready, go!

Do you mean action models that physically move, or something like an animal in a running pose?

I'm wondering the same thing, although at first I thought you meant those illusions that look like they're moving

I knew I needed more clarifications...

The model(s) you submit for this challenge must appear to be moving without any additional help. I'm mostly looking for dynamic poses here. It doesn't need to be a large movement like running; it can be small like drinking a cup of tea. Doesn't need to be a living being either.

I'll leave the theme «action models» for another month (I'm sure it's been done before though). For the illusions... I'll allow it if you can pull it out :wink:

Here is my first design, a stone golem. This creature is a mythological figure who is essentially a moving pile of rocks. That's right, moving. That's why it fits this challenge.

As for the moving pose, here is a brief glimpse how stone golems walk: they take one step at a time, lumbering, ground shaking steps that look like falling but are actually just leaning.
Image


My other entry moves a lot more than a stone golem does. It's me. In other words, just an average guy.

A pair of dragons, locked in combat. I don't think that they need much explanation, They are very clearly moving in many ways if they are fighting. Also, in case there is any confusion, they aren't falling, they are flying.

Excellent work this month everyone and sorry for this being a day late. The winner is Tony Koppers, who I believe best conveyed a sense of motion with his dragon models.
