Here's a pig I designed this weekend. It's based on
this pig I designed a few years ago. I've never been quite happy with the proportions of the earlier one, so I made some changes that effectively moved the wasted strip on the right into the centre to give it a longer body.
I'm hoping to get a CP or diagrams for it up soon.

The rounded quality and texture both look brilliant, did you use tissue foil?

Thanks! Yep, it's tissue foil. I think this model would be much better with different paper and wet-folding/shaping, so I could get smoother curves, but tissue foil is what I have available right now.

The body looks great, but the head seems too long. Maybe you could modify it to add eyes or a detailed snout.

It would look better with darker paper, with a chalk tint, wet folding would make it look even more realistic. It looks a lot like a boar, due to its large head, not that it's a bad thing

Updated Pig and CP

Here it is incorporating some of the suggestions above, and adding feet:
And I've done up a CP. It's my first attempt at a CP, so suggestions and constructive criticism would be helpful.
The horizontal lines coming from the edges are 7/16 from the top. A 6" square of paper will make a pig about 4.5" from nose to tail. In essence it is a blintzed fish base, just a little offset.

Why don't you provide us a link to your flickr account in your signature??? That way, I can point out the various errors in your CP.
Anyway. I like your improvements and thanks for sharing!!!
