Hey /po/, I'm making a game and one of the worlds in it is an origami/paper world, so I'm coming to you for help.
One of my problems is that I plan on having a paper katana as one of the weapons available to the player, but I can't figure out how to make it look "papery" enough,since every origami sword I've been able to find doesn't show the visible qualities of paper/origami. Pic related. I'm looking for something that's obviously origami. Do you have any ideas regarding what designs I could use or some elements I could use in the art that would help?
My other problem is the issue of NPCs and enemies. I figure I'll probably have a paper dragon show up somewhere, but I don't know what else to use for enemies. Any ideas are appreciated.
well the pic you posted is paper craft OP and as for enemies and animals my best advice to you would be too look up origami models already folded and try and mimic their shapes and creases which is the most distinguishing thing about origami imo
try pic related for a sword

theres also this sword
I like your idea of the paper-world! How about some origami-insects, scorpions, cobras as enemies? Also a venus fly-trap could be nice...Feed me Seymour!
maybe you should look for more simple designs, so they look more papery and not too real...

ThereĀ“s a Video Tutorial on Tim RickmanĀ“s YT
OP I'm assuming you've looked at the game Tearaway for inspiration on making things look papery?

you gotta have a paper tiger, it just makes sense
Are you using 3d models or spites?
Look at the art style of Okami, that should give you an idea of what to do.

Genuine Japanese cardboard katanas are folded over 1000 times and can cut right through any other kind of paper.

Silverfish. And other things that traditionally feed on paper.
