I got myself a laser cutter, and my first project is designing a paper diorama of the "This is Fine" dog.

Constraints:

- must fit on A5 card stock (that's what I have lying around)
- one single piece, folding only, no glue (because I like a challenge)
- one-sided printing only (precise duplex is impossible on my printer)

Still work in progress, but here's what I have so far, including all prototypes up to this point.

A paper diorama of the "This is fine" meme, sitting on a table. Clearly a work-in-progress prototype. The dog is already colorized, so are the walls and the floor. But the flames are still white, the door and window are missing, and the table on which the coffee cup sits is not complete yet either.
The same prototype of the "this is fine" diorama, but surrounded by four earlier prototypes of varying quality, none of which are colorized.

Might make a couple final tweaks, but I'm pretty happy with this.

I present you: "This is fine", a diorama built from a single piece of paper.

The scene from the "This is fine" meme, built as a diorama out of paper.
The flat paper, before folding, from which the diorama was built.
