Plantcient dragon
January 2026
This piece of origami represents my life story. Not for what it is in the end, but the process of how it got there. You can find the full story/explanation over on my YouTube.
I'm calling this model the “Plantcient Dragon,” which for those of you who don't get it, is a mashup of “Plant” (my online nickname) and “Ancient Dragon” (perhaps the most well known dragon of origami). My goal with this design was to contribute a new member of the classic 4-leg 2-wing dragon type, but with an improved value-to-effort ratio. It has a satisfying folding sequence and has its pose baked into the base structure for more efficient shaping.
