I was initially going for “serene” in the face, but the lower jaw causes more of a “Hi! :D”, which I like more. Ancient Dragon 2.0 (Another) Designed by Satoshi Kamiya Yellow. The ears aren’t super well defined, but work with the head fluff. I folded an origami Ancient Dragon 2.0 for those who dont want to fold it themselves.

I like the proportions and that he has a neck. The tail’s a bit long and its stripes are too triangular tho.

I actually think he’s endearing, but he’s not what I was aiming for. His body’s too short, except his tail, which is ridiculously long. I shifted things around and got… well, I got longer stripes at least. Also, the head details (particularly the ears) could be better. The first major try was a good start, but I wanted the stripes longer and more of a neck. I decided to could use a similar pattern to Satoshi Kamiya’s dragon legs (the method he uses for the Ancient Dragon and Bahamut’s legs/hands) because it would set up a striped tail and extra paper for stripes. From where it was in the paper, I could include teeth (like the Balrog for example) and did some mock ups, but he seemed too angry. I came up with the top of the face first. It got me thinking of stripes and tiger faces, and I made a tiger. Maybe he’ll do a Works of Satoshi Kamiya 3, and it’ll be there. I couldn’t find where to get a crease pattern or diagrams for it.

This is the fourth time I attempted the model, and the first time I completed it. Ancient Dragon (Satoshi Kamiya): Back View. It looks like he has, but it’s not on his website. Ancient Dragon (Satoshi Kamiya): First Fold (Front View) Ancient Dragon (Satoshi Kamiya): Front View. Recently, I heard somewhere Satoshi Kamiya came out with a tiger in the last couple of years.
