Sipho Mabona's Tigers, 2/2

Sipho Mabona's Tigers. (\sip'(h)o\; not \sifo\ as I heard in the articulation of a women who was speaking in Spanish on a T.V.). The Sipo (Entandrophragma) est un très grand arbre de la famille des Meliacæ [...], " dans la forêt dense africaine ", son bois est très noble).

Other versions, excellent modifications were made by the author later: www.kklb.ch/kklb/agenda?s=2016-11-20-sipho-mabona.

From radically different structures; while maintaining (almost) the (same) appearance of his Tiger, coming the head and the tail from the edges of a square (in the first versions) or from diagonal corners of a square (in the linked version).

In the late version, the hind legs' flaps have more layers; in the first one, the base of tail is more realistic (I tested the late version too; from the structure of his Rhinoceros).

(The Traditional structures to make tips or create flaps, drown by Satoshi Kamiya:

www.folders.jp/uc/2021/826/.)

In these tests, the eyes (rounded with a chopstick) are the result of a simple Closed sink fold on the respective flap; in the middle image, the hips are the result of an Unsink fold on two very small sank portions, a Wrap fold at hindlegs' flaps; having Ungrafted the square piece of paper at one edge of the square. Ce n'est pas du tout le plus complexe modèle de Tigre ; mais il est adorable, bien aimé; après John Montroll (inside-out designs), Hideo Komatsu (the same but diffenciated), Hojyo Takashi (much more complex pleats), S. Kamiya, Q. Trollip. Etc.
