It's a gift wrapping paper by Paletti. Found one silver roll in a supermarket recently. Unfortunately there is no more and I can't find any information about it on the net.

Well, I submit to the masses for their approval, my own take on the Nine-tailed fox. A bigger version can be seen by going to the entry in my DA gallery.

The base is formed from a variation on the base used to create the head of Kamiya's Ancient Dragon. I'm relatively pleased with how this came out, but I'm definitely planning on improving (Especially when it comes to the head and legs). Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@pitboss: Great use of Kamiya's Ancient Dragon! Who knew that a dragon head could double as a 9-tailed fox. As you said, the legs need reworking. That, I think, is the main problem with your design. It doesn't look like the legs are long enough to do much with them. The body could be thinner, and that would help the legs situation some. Good luck with your design!

Thanks! I actually happened to be flipping through some CPs I had saved on my computer and noticed that the Ancient Dragon's head produced 9 points, so I went for it.

good job. The kite paper is kinda hard to shape. That's why the legs are a bit crap. I do like the head also... here's another close-up from the head with natural light (and a nice Amsterdam canal background)

Nice dragons folks :!:

In my opinion is the best model there are diagrams for so far and I'm kind of jealous 'cause can't fold it yet for the absence of suitable paper. Can't afford to fold it from crap...
