just like the ancient dragon is not the beginning or end of origami, neither is satoshi kamiya.

lessee, before i folded the ancient dragon, i went through (not always all the models):

john montroll's animal origami for the enthusiast
john montroll's origami for the enthusiast
john montroll's prehistoric origami
john montroll's mythological creatures and the chinese zodiac in origami
john montroll's and robert lang's sea life in origami
robert lang's origami insects and their kin (in truth, the hardest models in this book are harder than anything designed by satoshi kamiya)
fumiaki kawahata origami fantasy
issei yosshino super complex origami (out of print)
john montroll's african animals in origami
john montroll's north american animals in origami
kunihiko kasahara's origami for the connoisseur
kunihiko kasahara's origami omnibus
origami tanteidan conventions 2-9
ORU quarterly 1 & 2
fumiaki kawahata origami dinosaurs 1-3 (korean versions)
robert lang's and stephen weiss' origami zoo
peter engel origami from angelfish to zen
robert lang's origami in action
fumiaki kawahata and seiji nishikawa's origami insects 1
robert lang's origami insects 2

that aught keep you busy!

if you have your heart set on folding nothing but kamiya models (a huge mistake, imho), you are probably best off subscribing to the tanteidan ($60/year, i believe), as he has at least 1 diagram in their magazines a year (usually more). similarly, i believe you can buy back issues for $60/volume. the only other place to find diagrams of his models is in the tanteidan convention books, many of which are out of print. those that are still available can be purchased through gallery origami house using paypal, i believe. the only other venue that i know of, now that sasugabooks has closed its doors, is nicolas terry's origami shop.
