Post a picture of the shadow of your model
I once read that there was an origamist that liked origami models based on the shadows they cast. I thought it was a cool idea and from time to time I put models in front of the light to see their shadows. Some of them look terrific, so I thought of opening a thread about this topic.
Here goes my first: Daniel Naranjo's Horse
Some shadows look better with sunlight. Maybe tomorrow I'll take a better picture.

A model that fits here very well would be the "Elephant going North":

While it looks like an elephant the shadow has the form of an arrow (when light comes from the right direction)

I guess maybe sometimes we just don't notice the shadows.Brimstone wrote:Indeed. I opened a thread once about posting nice shadows of models but it did not receive much attention
But here's one.
Cool idea!
Here is a shadow of Dr. Lang's Lionfish. Sorry for the poor resolution.

I have done that picture some months ago (6th of july 2006 regarding to the file creation date on my computer). for some reason most people liked it much, although it wasn't done by purpose. the shadow-light-effect came out by pure random. I like that picture much and it was my pc-wallpaper for quite a long time
