Description

Maybe Spike did get through to Discord with some of what he said to him in one recent episode (S8E10) or maybe it's just that there has been an art of the month contest with the theme "flower blossoms" on a brony forum. In any case Origami Discord seems to have rearranged 218 (if I didn't miscount) origami flowers in such a way as for them to create a mosaic portrait of Fluttershy. Origami Angel Bunny too has a guest appearance in this scene, siting on Discord's paw (I leave it to you to decide if Discord is holding him to keep him from vandalizing his work or if two such mischievious characters ultimately learned to get along for the sake of Fluttershy).

In the rear we also got a curious bear (not exactly looking like Harry, but I wanted to include him anyway).


Here are several alternative versions of the image with slightly different viewer angles:

 

 



EDIT: Something very embarassing happened. In the image I originally uploaded (as well as in those three alternative views above) I had utterly forgotten to give origami Fluttershy wings!

I changed this in new images I took today and here are a number of alternative views of her with folded and spread wings:

I wish I was that good at origami but I struggle with even the most basic of designs. Nicely done!

Thank you very much, MrKeybladeMaster1992

I struggled too, when I started with origamis back in 2015. It took a lot of practice to get my origamis where there are now and there are still plenty of origami designs  that I don't manage yet. The important thing is to keep going while you have fun doing it and not look at the results only.

Heh, hey you don't mind if I ask if you know, or have some tutorial to make this lil' things? My brothers love this and they want to make a paper fluttershy hehe

Malte279 In reply to TheWhiteLie [2018-06-14 13:11:55 +0000 UTC]

I haven't found a complete tutorial for making them because I made up some of the details for the ponies myself, but they are strongly based on other foldings instructions.

To fold an MLP pony you start out with the so called bird base (here is a folding instruction for that one), a base that can be turned into pretty much everything existing. For the ponies you need to cut (therefore it is not a 100% "pure origami") along the central line of the two triangles you get in the diamont shaped final step of the bird base (so you end up with four triangles there which can be folded to form the pony's legs). The two triangles on the other side ar folded to form the head and the tail of the pony. To avoid a pointy belly of the pony, the tip of the rectangular triangle you can see in step 5 of the bird base folding instruction needs to be sunk (folded inside that is)...

I'm afraid such text instructions are of very little help. If I ever draw a folding instruction for the origami ponies I promise to post it here. I can only encourage you and your brothers to give origami a try. It is a beautiful hobby and with a little practice easier than it looks. I often offer little workshops at brony meetups and so far nobody walked away without having folded a pony within about half an hour

Now this a masterpiece. And it doesn't require drawing.

Thank you very much, doripingvin

This particular kind of flower is extremely easy to fold. Here is one image to show how it works (not made by me). All you need is a square piece of paper.

You certainly are not alone

We may be a rare species, but have you seen the marvelous MLP (and other) origami works by

Cahoonas

Cyberglass

and Megknucklebones

They sure are awesome to behold.

Also, perhaps you would like to check out this video of the my little pony origami panel which I offered last year at the GalaCon (one of the largest brony conventions in Europe)?

I'm going to be there again this year and very much looking forward to it
