Re: Monthly Folding Challenge September 2016
sebl, your work is amazing, reminds my of something out of star wars.
And Gerardo, I had a Copernican revolution with my model! Probably just needed to set it down for a few days. All I need to do now is get the measurements down and make the paper I need.

Re: Monthly Folding Challenge September 2016
Just realized my model doesn't use a square. so I can't use it lmfao. Well, I've always wanted to create this model anyway!
Re: Monthly Folding Challenge September 2016
HAHAHA! Oh Nepafarius . Well you still have time to think of something else or to improve your model adapting it to a square.

Let your wildest dreams about the infinite night skies inspire you.

So when we look at the night sky, it makes sense that someone is looking back at us.

Re: Monthly Folding Challenge September 2016
Here's mine! I wanted to make it unique so I designed...
A Fossilized Alien! (Wouldn't that be cool, though? Man sets foot on a different planet for the first time - and finds a FOSSILIZED ALIEN!!! Front page news! Everyone in shock! And I predicted it!!)
It was folded from one 15 inch square of painted tissue foil. And of course, the design is pure.

Can't. The design specifically calls for a hexagon baseGerardo wrote:What do you mean with "would have". Aren't you officially submitting it?

Re: Monthly Folding Challenge September 2016
For this month's challenge, I designed a Visitor from the book Communion by Whitley Strieber.
If you're familiar with Communion (or even just it's very famous cover) you'll no doubt notice that I attempted to emulate the composition and coloration of the dust jacket art. I also ran the image through the Prisma app to give it a more painterly look.
The model is folded from a 7" square of lizard skin embossed paper, using the reverse side of the paper to represent the pale, flesh tone of the face and the shiny, black side to represent the eyes.
Though my depiction of a Visitor strays slightly from the one on the cover, it does so purposefully. I've attempted to to capture a few nuances and associations made in Communion and it's followups (sequels?) that aren't evident from the cover art alone.
The shape of the face and it's features are meant to be evocative of animals such as owls, mantises, and lizards. The texture of the skin is meant to imply wrinkles and age, as well as further reinforce the association with lizards. The shiny, bubble-like texture on the eyes also reinforces associations with the compound eyes of insects.

Re: Monthly Folding Challenge September 2016
What about folding an hexagon from a square, and then folding your model from it, instead of folding an hexagon from a square, cutting unwanted part to get an hexagon and folding your model from it?Nepafarius wrote:Can't.

Re: Monthly Folding Challenge September 2016

The other problem I see is that it's actually an earthly virus.

Yeah it was a play on the idea of 'alien,' since viruses are foreign beings inside other lifeforms.Gerardo wrote:The other problem I see is that it's actually an earthly virus.
I can't fold another one anyway, out of paper and it's raining so I can't make more.
