Lady Godiva (鹤田芳里) & Whale (Ivan D. Handoko)
《折纸侦探团》合集 25 期里的两个双色作品,用的都是 40 cm 的西口纸。
Lady Godiva
Lady Godiva, 中文译名是戈黛娃夫人,不过更有名的应该是以她命名的巧克力品牌歌帝梵。
Lady Godiva took pity on the people of Coventry, who were suffering grievously under her husband's oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused to lower the taxes. At last, weary of her entreaties, he said he would grant her request if she would strip naked and ride on a horse through the streets of the town. Lady Godiva took him at his word, and after issuing a proclamation that all persons should stay indoors and shut their windows, she rode through the town, clothed only in her long hair.[1]
依据传说,戈黛娃于1040年嫁给了麦西亚伯爵利奥弗里克。当时利奥夫里克对考文垂市民们强加重税,戈黛娃夫人不断的向丈夫求情希望减免税收,但都被他顽固的拒绝了。利奥夫里克对妻子的不断求情感到厌烦,宣称只要她能裸体骑马绕行市内的街道,他便愿意减税。心地善良的戈黛娃夫人真的照着他的话去做,要所有市民待在屋内并紧闭门窗后,她一丝不挂、披着一头长发骑马游街。[2]
折之前我并不了解这个传说,甚至在保存照片时把这位夫人的名字误写作 Godvia, 好在最后改过来了。
Whale
一位新加坡爱好者的设计,折图有点粗糙,不过没什么大坑。纸层分布挺均匀,但好多地方缺乏自锁从而容易散开,费了我不少功夫来整形。作品名就叫 Whale, 显然是须鲸的经典外形,我觉得成品头部比例有些长,更像是小一点的种类。
鲸的形状很不好放平,为了能拍出自然一点的姿势,最后硬是把我的四面、六面、十二面骰子都拿来当支架,像天平架子似的把它架起来。眼尖的话,应该不难看到第二张图右鳍的影子形状有点不对,就是垫着骰子啦。
最后放一张翻肚皮结尾:(可见成品的另一个缺点是有些扁平,所以俯视或者仰视视角的效果不太好)
