Cool!

And wow, if that's easy I can only imagine what a hard model of yours would look like.....still, I'm loving the dragons. :D
definetly add the foil to your list and if you don't mind then i would like to suggest that you get the 60x60 cm stuff in copper,silver and gold because it is much stiffer and thicker than the other colours so it's very well suited to folding dragons, the other colours are just to thin i think

if you love the dragons then watch this space because i just folded a brand new king dragon in silver 60x60 terry tissue foil, it has way more spikes and claws plus bigger wings and a longer tail :twisted:

i'll upload the photos as soon as possible :D :D

I really like it. Just one little suggestion: the tail looks pretty flat so maybe a little bit more shaping on it. Although it could just be the angle in the photos. Other than that it's a great model!

niiice! How many origami Dragons are there? After working my way through these :http://www.squidoo.com/origamidragon-instructions I didn't think there could be THAT many more. Great. Another one to confuse ( :-s ) me while searching for an eastern dragon that isn't a dollar bill fold or Ryujinn. :evil:. Who can make a Hydra? :twisted: a challenge that isn't dragonly! (At last :D )

Nice gazelle Polistes. I feel like the front legs could be thinner though--they're thicker than the back legs! Just my opinion about it. :P
Also a very cute and simple dinosaur--rawr! Is it diagonally symmetric? Seems like that to me. :D

Bravo. :mrgreen:

It's a very good dragon though, so's the gazelle. The Gazelle is very very very very very very very good, as it is obviously a Gazelle, not a deer or anything. It has the lean, frolicky (silly tehnical term invented by me) shape that a Gazelle has too so I think It is very good. Please make a cp or diagrams or something to help making it because I WANT TO!

i don't know if i would release it though i might just keep it and put it in my book :D
