Queen of Hearts & Card Army - out of real cards by Rei_Areaaaaaaa |
In the meantime, since there's a whole heap of stuff happening here that doesn't result in any reading for you, and I'm resisting the urge to play rather than work, here's The Queen of Hearts, made out of cards. (Sorry -the only info on the artist is the identity above that I linked to.)
(Let the puns begin!)
I particularly like a brief exchange on Reddit regarding them:
Human_Sandwich: Very nice. How did you learn how to do that? Are you into origami?
Superplayah: As an origami artist, you are refering to our much hated brethren, the kirigami artists. For centuries we have battled with them, and to our dismay, their scissors and x-acto knifes cut through our creations too well. Eventually the origami artists figured out how to turn the tides of the ever raging war by making modular origami that could have any damaged pieces replaced by an equally capable piece. People that disagreed with the conflict left their respective warring nations and founded their own bastard of a nation where origami artists place minor cuts into creations to achieve greater detail and kirigami artists make strangely shaped papers to create even stranger pieces. We called them abominations, disliked and rejected by purists of both sides. They preach that greater detail and freedom results from their style of art but it is only a ruse to corrupt purists and gain support. Only one side can win and it is only a matter of time before the war ends and we see who the real gods of paper are!
LegacyCrono: But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked
MrPaperchips: I'm going to bet on the side that has the knives.Wow - beware the paper cut! This scenario sounds like it would fit right in the book actually.
More news very soon. :)
