Do you create your own models?

I have just started the creative process. I encourage anybody else out there to start too.
The way I look at it, the more I relate it to doodling with a pencil, but instead using paper as the creative medium.
Most of my first originals have been variations on already diagramed models.
I changed the classic money pig, the one with three legs. Diagrams in the Origami Handbook by Rick Beech. Anyways I turned the pig into a dog with four legs. That was my first model and it was awesome.
That was about 5 months ago. Since then I have created quite a few little origamis. I turned the classic crane into a dragon, with longer wings and tail, and a monster like head.
I created two more dogs, a few variations of the sonobe unit that have probably already been discovered. I changed David Brills mask from Brilliant Origami into a strange looking creature.
I have made a really cool penguin that I feel is my best model yet.. I will try to get pictures. Creating this one was an accident from trying to fold from a crease pattern. Which I have been unsuccessful so far, but I have not tried very hard to master. The crease pattern was from somebodies four legged crane, I forget who, it was posted on the Origami list.
Yesterday I created a penguin with a spiky head from three strips of scrap origami paper.
I have also made, a few ugly fish, a variation on a Tomoko Fuse box, a cool dude guy made from a starbox crease pattern. A very small variation on Montroll's turtle from Animal Origami for the enthusiast. An alien. I think I have made some more but I cant remember.
What about you guys? Have you started the creative process and If you have what advise do you have?
