Nice bull! it looks really stocky and lifelike, I also like the curves on the horns. Good Job!

I haven't got up to the chapter on Box Pleating in Origami Design Secrets yet, but I've been seeing a lot of great models made by that method.
The works of mikiller are especially noteworthy, and after having glanced at the CP for one of his figures, I got a vague idea of how box pleating works.

During a quiet time at work today I doodled this figure up from a piece of receipt paper. it's rough, and not even made from a square, but I'm quite pleased with the result since it is the first time I've made any attempt at box pleating.

Edit:

Tonight I have tried to fold Mikiller's Gabriel figure.

I haven't really got time to fold much lately, but here's what I designed during the last two months. The background is going to be blue on all my pictures from now on.

Ninja :
I mostly wanted to test a hand holding a sword (for one of my upcoming model), but I also like ninjas so... He does have eyes, but they are hard to see because he is black.

Witch Apprentice :
I'm really proud of this one. My witch didn't originally have a book and a cape. She would've fitted nicely on a rectangle then but since I wanted her to be on a square, I had to add some details. The book was partly inspired by Brian Chan's Men and Manus model. The broom is a separate model from a square half the length of the one used for the witch. The real challenge here wasn't the shaping, but managing to hold the witch on the broom.

Ace of Spade :
Here's something completely different from what I usually fold. Designed for the monthly folding challenge, it comes from Alice in Wonderland and inspired by Walt Disney's version. The spear of spade is from a small rectangle of 1:3,5 proportions. I propably would've made the ace of diamonds instead if it wasn't for the black and white theme of the monthly challenge. I might do it in the future though.

More pictures on my galery.

Cat.
Designed by Roman Diaz.
Inspired by philbx73's recent upload.
This one was actually folded from the
leftover rectangle from a sheet of A4 paper after a square is removed as described in Origami for Interpreters. And for those of you mathematically inclined, the length of a sheet of A4 paper is equal to its width times the square root of two.

Great new designs, Sunburst

I think the Ace is my favourite.
