Good work on the face Araknoid.

I folded some Sunflowers for my mother, I hope she likes them.
The paper I used is two layers of tissue paper glued together with spray adhesive to avoid that the colours bleed into each other. The paper was very soft and ideal for this model where during the folding process a lot of layers have to be folded together, where my bought two coloured paper ripped immediately. Unfortunately I forgot who the author is.
The stems are just aluminium foil and tissue paper folded together a few times.

Nice work on the Fugu! But don't you have a better kind of paper than foil? I would assume it'd be a bit easier to fold with something thicker/wrinkle resistant (and less reflective). How long did the model turn out? 12cm?

This is just a test folding..........,
the finished model is about 11.5cm and you really need a veryyyyy thin paper to fold this fugu fish or else you will have difficulty squashing and overlapping the edges at the bottom of the mouth.

Oh, I thought the mouth was just made by tucking in the outer edge into the model. I guess that makes sense then. (By the way, I wasn't criticizing the appearance of your fold as much as the paper choice for testing, but it appears I was wrong anyway, heh.)

Where are the diagrams for C-Po's Fugu? Aren't they in a Convention Book or something? 'Cause I'd love to fold it.

Am I right in saying that the body is essentially just Kade's Magic Ball?

They are in Tanteidan Convention 14 as I rode days before in this forum.

Yes, the pattern is the same as on Kade's magic ball. But I have a hunch the magic ball was inspired by Sipho's design (which as far as I know was designed long before).

Or they could both have been inspired by Joisel's hedgehog.

That fugu is a killer desigin nonetheless.

Now i've got Satoshi's book about a year and i never fold the divine dragon. so it was the last model from the book i finally got through.
this model takes a lot of patience, more than the ancient dragon in my opinion, and gives a pain in the neck

But the result of course is amazing.

I started with a 50x50cm double tissue square

And that's what came out

, 15cm high and 22cm long

Awesome Bahamut, Alan!

I wish I had Kamiya's book. I cant afford it at the moment.

Seals on rocks folded from 15cm kami.
The left one is by Martin Wall, the right one by Sergio González.

I stumbled across the model by Martin Wall some minutes ago and was very surprised when I read that the model was by him, because I remembered folding a similar model by Sergio González some time ago.
Both models have completely different folding sequences and the resulting models are of different sizes as well.
Does anyone know if one of the models was inspired by the other or if both authors just had the same idea?

Dunno. Maybe there was they got sicks of bugs and had their own "Seal on a Rock War".
