I do like the body, but something about the shoulders and hips just isn't right, although it's close, but close to perfect in the wrong way.

That dragon (and all the other stuff I've browsed through) is so impressive.
I'm a total beginner, so I can't even imagine doing something as intricate as this. I just sit at my desk, sweating and hoping that I get the creases right and that that crane won't look like a goose that got trample by its mates. :roll:

Soo, innocent, but probably stupid question: how may sheets of paper did you use for the dragon? Or is it actually possible to do it with one big sheet? Can't imagine that ^^

Once more with the gushing: I really loved your Darth Vader, the peacock and those roses from this post. Is there a diagram for the peacock somewhere? I would love to try it [-o<

Is there any way to make darth vader as well, as that would really interest me as well.
