ORI Project is originated by E2046. And its objective is to express the imagination in terms of turning the dream-world characters into reality. From planning, drafting, designing, manufacturing, and finally getting to sale, everything are effort of our own. While we are really excited about it as we do know every piece of our work is unique.
ORI represents "Creativity"
In anime, comics, online games and illustrations, there are infinite number of beautiful, fashionable, cool and elegant characters while each of them could have hundreds or up to thousands of poses and variations. However, it is clear that not every of the above characters would be used to sculpt as GK. Drawing from our experience in business and inspired from the market, we are picking out the potentials and transform them into reality. We hire illustrators, sculptors and experienced workshops to cope with the painting. At the same time, we participate in every procedure to ensure quality of our own works.
Beginning of the Project
We start off by discussing in meeting and get different ideas from various references. When a design is confirmed, we will pass the idea to the illustrator for drafting and digital painting. Upon we satisfy with the outcome, the sculptor will be the one that transforming it into 3D object. When the sculpture finished, we will discuss every detail together, including a little ornament or pattern on clothing, what would be best to express the features or simply like if the colour theme need to be adjust. Everything is a result of our collective effort and repeated modifications.
Our First ORI Work
We started off with Gothic Lolita Dress Haruhi. The initial draft was not good as expected, and it followed with second, third, forth… and so on. When the sculpture was confirmed, the painting phase was no less problematic, just the color tone itself was revised a number of times. Before finishing, we found that the hair did not look as good as expected; so we decided to redo the head part from beginning... We hope that our striving spirit can give wings to our works for perfection.
Series
We started working on our second work as soon as the first one got done. And we came up with three main series:
-
Fashion
This includes popular and fashionable characters standing at the very front of the trend!
-
Darkness
A series where mystery, classical elements or medieval setting are adopted as theme
-
Elegance
Overwhelmed in noble and brilliant clothes, feature in Chinese or Oriental favor crossing over with fantasies.
On the other hand, we are also making our step further by inventing new ideas and make GK something else! With our new series name after “Change”, GK is now taking an evolution and moving towards a new era! Let make 2D image and 3D object bland together with a perfect result!
-
Change
Background image will display along with GK which could be fix any where on a picture frame with magnet, while the background image can be swap easily.
In 2010, ORI continues to bring more kits for our precious members. And we are inviting members with exceptional creativity to work with us and bring their 2D illustration into 3D object, and it comes with a new name of “Infinity”!

All our members could express their creativity and apply our program with your very own design, and we will bring your dream into GK! Check HERE for more detail!
In the meantime we have paid much effort on constructing the "Home" of ORI. We have albums, work-in-progress, wallpapers and a blog that we update constantly for all our projects. If you have time take a look on them you will find plenty of interesting information. And of course, we will keep our effort on bring more interesting works and ideas for you and try our best to make every of our work as good as possible!
Finally, we sincerely hope that you will be fond of our works.
