Lloyd Irving, equipped with the Material Blades (Flamberge & Vorpal Sword).
That, or maybe Mega Man X or Zero. Old school Zero, not the post-apocalyptic, sleeker version.

Ooh! Or how about the Tarrasque! 70 cm paper, he's pretty much one solid pale, bland, brown-orange color...set that down on the map at a D&D game and watch the fun unfold.
Everyone's a voyeurist, they're watching me watch them watch me right now.

Something from Metroid (Prime) series would be quite awesome aswell. I might try to design something from this game some day soon, because it would be quite awesome to make anything from it, imo. Would love to see a Metroid Prime made from paper, or perhaps a space pirate army.

Or how about a 3-headed Doom Dragon from Golden Sun? Or anything from Golden Sun, for that matter!

There are tons of video-game characters that I'd love to make from paper, but I just wonder if it's even possible to make some of them.

Hah, but I would rather see a new Golden sun game than a Golden Sun origami design... why haven't they made another one?!?

And a metroid would be cool... if you could find some transparent paper and include those structures inside. That wouldn't be difficult at all :roll: .

Nothing is impossible in origami! :D
...You might need some very large and extremely thin paper... but it's still possible. :P

Right now, I'm working on designing Vincent Valentine (FF7), I'll see how it goes...

I picked up my Zero (from Code Geass) design again, and it turned out well! I have been tweaking the proportions and small details for the past few days, and here is what I have come up with (still needs to be folded from better paper, though):

Designing Megaman X is not that hard. You just use box pleats for the base and using crimps for the lags and arms.

That could work. But it still would not be simple. There are still proportions and details to work out, and things like the varied thicknesses of different parts of his appendages might be tricky to handle with box-pleating. A circle-packed base might suit him better, especially with his simplistic design.

Walter from the dark tower novels written by Steven King would be an interesting model, especially the mystic appearence of that figure would be a special challenge.
And, of course, Vivi from Final Fantasy 9!

I can also think about something. What about curved fish? As on this picture (remember TV show):

Miyamoto folded that scene for at 2008 Origami TV Champion. It looked pretty nice, in my opinion.

I think that Ondrej.Cibulka was referring to that Swordfish that Miyamoto folded. I agree with him, it would be nice to see a fish like that, only curved as though it was jumping out of the water. Miyamoto's was ok, but it looked like it had been mounted on a wall, and didn't look very natural.
