Yes it is my design.
I only have started to develop the models

And yet another One Piece design.
God Enel folded from a 48cm square of Japanese foil.

I tried my hand at Elias' Goat:

Something about this model reminded me of the shadows from Babylon 5. I think it was the stance. So I decided to fold a modified version:

For those who aren't familiar with the shadows:

I can accept racism (which I don't really believe this is), or more appropriately group elitism. I can accept not wanting to share origami pieces or instructions. I can accept only sharing origami pieces or instructions with a certain group of people. I cannot accept putting instructions in a highly visited online photo gallery that is open to the public, and after discovering that an Englishman (Which I am ABSOLUTELY NOT) folded it, going off. First of all, I'm not a Brit, I'm American. Second, where was there any indication on those photos that non-French were not meant to fold it? It's not like I distributed instructions for how to fold his snail or something, or even posted a picture of it. I folded something, that he himself had posted instructions for.

I was a longtime admirer of the origami of Eric Joisel. I visit(ed) his gallery (on the French forum, via Nicolas Terry's site) every once in a while. The other day I visited it and saw the cat instructions. I thought it looked pretty nice, so I folded it. Since I was in one of my very rare picture-posting moods I posted it, and look at all the flak that came about.

I understand not wanting to give everything away for free. I choose specifically what origami works of mine make it onto the internet. If I don't want anyone to see something, I don't show it. If I only want a select group of people to see it, I make sure to limit it to them (if they pass it on I have no control), and sometimes, if I'm in a really good mood, I might even let the whole world see.

I don't post on other forums (Spanish, Brazil, Vietnamese, etc.) because I only speak English. It would be very rude for me to speak English in a French or Vietnamese place, so I don't.

Thanks for the support.

And to all who asked, I did not save the instructions, sorry. Besides, I would feel bad distributing them, since he removed them, despite his uncalled-for attack.

Another try at the shadow. I bought some black paper in the scrapbooking section of Wal-Mart, but it was almost as thick as cardstock. I tried it anyway:

I saved the diagrams, but I would never post them. As much as he did write his message in the wrong words, I respect his decisions, even if they were a bit late to be posted.

Daydreamer, that looks a lot like HOJYO Takashi's Thunder God

^Exactly what I was thinking.

My new creation, the wild boar.

I absolutely agree with you. It is right respect any decision and it is not important who is that man - world famous creator with many models (or anything else) or unknown nobody with just something.

I've you read the description on Wikipedia, you will know that this character is actually a kind of Thunder God

I like your design, Zerobar! Excellent.

Could you fold it from nonflashing paper? This fact prohibits view all details...

Phoenix, by me. Though the flap distribution and stuff isn't all that original, I wasn't on purpose folding another folders model or following a CP or diagrams or anything.

Obelisk, by me too. I saw this while folding the Phoenix, and got another piece of paper and folded it.

Cupcake · Post by **Cupcake** » February 26th, 2007, 4:19 pm

That phoenix looks a lot like KAMIYA Satoshi's Phoenix...

I folded Roman Diaz's Horse. Last time I had dry-folded this model a couple of years back. It was an amazing experience to wetfold it this time.

For comparison, here is the previous version:

Bravo, the wetfolded model looks so much better
