Introducing myself: my Velociraptor
Hi all,
I am a 26 (27, at the end of the month) years old italian origamist, and I think the best way to introduce myself is showing you my works. I start by my favourite, a Velociraptor.
Here, the complete model:
This is the head, where you can see eyes, mouth, teeth and tongue:
And finally, in one single shot, hands and feet:
I really hope you like it.
Edit: here, you can find the diagrams.

Wow! You did an awesome job with the proportions throughout the model. I absolutely love the way you shaped the arms. As for the paper, I don't see a problem with it. As long as it folds well, any paper is fair game!
If you are planning to improve upon your velociraptor, I would suggest adding some teeth. You could use Fumiaki Kawahata's method in his T-Rex. He added a strip graft and used the extra paper to form a stretched flap at the corner of the paper that would form the head. To make teeth from that flap, all you need to do is pleat it a few times and make some reverse folds. Again, this is just a random idea - your model looks great just the way it is (that tongue is wicked!) Great work!

I guess I understated how much I like it.
It is great. Good proportions, nice balance and sense of life. I think the tail could stand to be a bit longer, and yeah, those lines on the paper majorly mar its appearance.
I would not add teeth. If you were going to add anything, I would suggest wings and feathers for the tail, since that is our current model of a velociraptor...

I must confess that this model is made by two square uncut papers, that's why I would like to make some changes... It would be great for me if I could make it using one single square paper. Little suggest to fold it: the model is based for both parts (front and back) on crane base, with a little variations for head, hands and feet...
