I was only making this suggestion in view of the paper you've used - in my experience, lokta will forgive you a lot when humidified slightly, e.g. by letting you soften or even hide extra creases completely (in particular if it's MC'ed).
Ok, I will try using MC to smooth out the sides. Thanks for the advice.
If you hadn't MC'ed the sheet it before folding, try to see on a hidden part of the paper whether the colour does not change upon application - I don't expect it to, but better safe than sorry... Plain water ought to do the trick on such minor creases, just a touch of water, mind you, you only want to soften it up a bit...
Longhorn Beetle v4
Previous version had an anatomical problem that I failed to see. Forelegs was coming out from underneath the head. So this time I fix that and the beetle is as it should be.
Designed and folded by me from a square 30cm of double "Unryu" paper, treated with methyl cellulose and acrylic paints to get the patina!!!
Thats a realy good beetle! Its hard to get your creases that crisp especially on diffecult models like that. whenever I try to fold models of that diffuculty the origami always looks like its been kind of crumpled. I Also wanted to know here you bought the paper or if you made it yourself.

Thank you very much. I do like my creases very crisp, that is true, so I spend a lot of time precreasing the paper. Also, lots of time is spend at the end, with methyl cellulose so to give volume to the model the way I want. The paper is just Unryu and silk paper mc together. Before folding I applied the base color and after modeling, I did the patina with acrylic metallic paints!!!
menschenfeind, is that ryu zin actually Satoshi Kamiyas model? It looks like a different model. Did you design this one based off of Satoshi kamiyas model, or is that one of the very first versions that kamita designed?

It's Ryu Jin 1.2, my rendition
I made some changes on the head while shaping and I twisted the body, that's all.

Im not Menschenfeind but I can tell you. Its Kamiya's 1.0 or 1.2 Ryujin.
