Monthly Folding Challenge - May 2009

Post by mikiller »

I am sorry about that my English is not good.
The challenge of May is the faces of famous people. For example, Batman's face(Designed by JMAN), etc.

Please enclose the original picture that can show what you folded, Thanks~

So the subject is things that can be found in the month of May? I'm not finding this too easy to understand...
Shouldn't there be a base subject so that all models can be judged by their relevance with regard to the base subject? :?

EDIT: Wait, I just figured out what you are trying to say. The May challenge is to create the faces of famous figures from cinema, television, etc.

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

I'd say it's fine as long as you can provide a reference pic or two so we know what it is meant to look like.

I recognise those glukkons. I played Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exodus back in the day.

Now if I was designing myself, I'd know what I want to do. So if anyone is feeling like they don't quite know what to design for this, but really want to do one (haha, very likely) - or if you simply want to do me a favor - I'd LOVE to see a Pippi Longstocking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippi_Longstocking
More pics: http://www.tv-nostalgie.de/Sound/Pippi.htm

[Short explanation: Pippi Longstocking is a character created by Astrid Lindgren, a Swedish author.
Pippi is a red-headed girl. She lives by herself in a motley house with her horse and her monkey. She's also very strong (she can lift her horse), and refuses to go to school. Her father is a seaman, but he only drops in once in a while. Pippi gets into lots of mischief together with her two friends Thomas and Annika. This includes escaping the authorities, who want to make her go to school and an orphanage.]

Things you might want to capture:
Her trademark is the red hair, which she wears in two braided ponytails - one on the left, one on the right. They always stick up horizontally.
She usually wears a short, plain dress, and big, old shoes.
Image
She has a monkey and a white horse with black spots.

See how hard I'm trying to convince you? Ok, I admit, when I was little I was teased a lot because of my hair colour, so Pippi was somewhat of a comfort to me.

My mum is/was a big fan of Pippi Longstockings. I've never known much about the character except for how she wears her hair.

Maybe I'll have a go at making her if the inspiration takes me.

Bruce Lee - 15*15cm Two colored paper

The size of finished model is about (cm): 5 in length, 3 in width and 8 in height.

I find it very hard for me to capture the looks of human face :/

An expertly sculpted Abraham Lincoln 'mask'. The colour changes are really well integrated, congratulations.
That might take some beating.
I like helliluya's Bruce Lee too, especially the charicature aspect of the eyebrows.
