Profile
I am mogami, a paper model artist. I primarily design paper models using 3D modeling software.
I also specialize in creating photorealistic textures using digital painting and texturing tools.
About the Name “mogami”
“mogami” is both my website name and artist name.
The name “mogami” is a coined word combining the Japanese kanji characters:
面 (mo) – meaning surface
模 (mo) – meaning to imitate
最 (mo) – meaning best
紙 (gami) – meaning paper
Through this name, I express my desire to design paper surfaces that imitate real objects,
while also striving to create the best possible paper works.
