Nicely done, p@ !
What was the original size of the sheet ?
And the final size of the Devil ?
Well, it's on my ((very) big) to-do list, so I'm looking for some hints !

I folded Robert Lang's Tree Frog

nice frog, I've never tried it. Cool eyes!

I've just done Kamiya's Kirin (2nd attempt, regular wrapping paper, 16x16 cm, dry folded). It was harder than I've expected.

regards.

Yesterday I stumbled into a great modular origami site (http://home.comcast.net/~meenaks/origami/index.html), and although I'm not that into modulars, some of them looked absolutely stunning (AND most of them have instructions to go with them). This one I just couldn't resist

Tom Hull - 5 Tetrahedra (knotted together into a dodecahedrical star)

And Phil, nice tree frog, it looks really tiny, or is that one gigantic plant you have?

And nice tiny kirin as well, perrosaurio.

Ugh... I've been on some kind of origami vacation. Too much stuff going on.....

I said in a different thread that I wanted to try to design a sea turtle but I changed my mind and I started working on a sulcata tortoise, identifiable by the spurs on their forelegs and tall, domed shell, among other things. So here's an early prototype out of some wrapping paper.

I left plenty of paper for a the shell and its plates. But I still think the head is going to be most difficult. Advice anyone?

Looking good, JeossMayhem! It looks like you already have some sort of head. And the head definitely looks turtle-y. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Joseph Wu's Eastern Dragon, from the first sheet of "good" paper I've ever folded:

I made this yesterday, from a sheet of hanji that I bought the same morning (cut to about 60cm x 12cm). I'm fairly pleased with the results, but the model is a little too floppy - the tail doesn't stand as high as it should, and keeps flopping over to one side. Still, not bad.
