The contest looks really good up to now. Keep posting new entries everyone! Here's my contribution : Young Dragon by myself, made with a 45 cm sided square of homemade foil.

Wow, sunburst... you might just win again

But really, great fold.
Right now, I have a bit too much jet lag to fold that spider eater that I want to fold. Maybe I'll manage...

A few months from now, I may participate in one of these contests (not nearly good enough yet.) I would strongly prefer not allowing multiple sheets or non-square paper, though. I guess I am just a purist. (I don't even like measurement other than by reference to the paper itself.)

That dragon looks cute

fantastic shaping!

some weeks or months ago i designed and folded a centaur including a spear. i thought i could call this my entry.

i'm not a designer yet, but this is demonman with the head of the darkstalkers vampire... it should be devilman, which i guess is kind of fantasy-related, with all that breezu/baatezu things...

Ahh well... But don't feel afraid to post more than one on another challenge!

what a fantastic fold, Kaimon, I'm really impressed

how about changing the body into a fish and the speer into a trident. than you would have some kind of neptun-like fantasy creature. just an idea in modification.
very well done

thank you, chris!

actually I was going to fold a neptune, too. but not as a modification of my centaur. some days ago I tried different circle packings but it didn't work well because I insisted on making these typical fish-scales-folds... (the tail simply gets too long for having a whole arm holding a trident on the other side. all the packings were just so ineffective

)
but I won't give up...
