Phish II. A slice of double-sided kami. No glue or wetfolding.

This is more symmetrical than your other models. It is a strong model, but I think the symmetry makes it more stylized. I like your fish for simplicity and asymmetry.
I think a lot about studies showing people prefer symmetry, ranking symmetrical faces as more beautiful. At the same time a balanced asymmetry is (to me) most beautiful in some scenarios. Think beauty marks. I think asymmetry imparts a life and implies character.
It is so nice to find this group and so exciting and inspiring to discuss your work.[emoji7]

Here's my entry. The topic of rounded and curved shapes made me think of bells/horns and so I designed this gramophone.

|Wow! I just saw this on flickr and was wondering whether it is intended for the challenge, great work!

I love how you got the record and even the needle in there!

Great entry!

here is my last minute entry


Sitting Boy

The first thing that came to mind for me was the curve of a cheetah's back while it is running.

The paper I chose turned out to be too small, so I couldn't make the back as rounded as I wanted to . If it isn't curvy enough, let me know and the images will magically disappear.

Since the judge has not responded, would it be suitable to open a poll?

no idea. I'd like to know what's going on though.

I got a message from origamipete that says that I'm the judge. But since JAPC won the last challenge I think he is the judge, since I picked the topic. Those are the rules?

.... I just send him a message that he is the judge. I noticed I forgot too mention it in the posting of the topic. Hope he responds soon.
If not I can post a poll if necesarry.

Hi everyone!
First of all I'm sorry for the delay, but I've been on vacation and without internet connection
I want to thank everyone that participate in this challenge with all of those great entries.
For the decision:
_The third place goes to the Minh Tue. It's a fantastic model but I think It's to close to other similar models that I've seen.
_The second place goes ex aequo to Origamipete and EDG for their great entries. I love both models and its volume.
_The first place goes to Yellerdude for his amazing model. It's a great combination of geometry and curves.

Congratulations to all participants and especially to Yellerdude that's gonna be the next month judge and chose the September topic.
