### edit: your picture was 2048*1536 and 1,4mb .... use thumbnails! ###

What seems to be the problem?

Well Alan, if you write it like this

Code: Select all

[img]http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/9978/origami032wk2.jpg[/img]

it works, just tried it on your post with preview. But as Angrydemon stated, your pictures are far too large. When you upload images to imageshack there is the possibility to resize them while uploading, take the 640x460 pixels recommended for Forums and you should be fine.

Thank you Anna

Now it works perfect.
Just tried it with my Ancient Dragon.

Size: 15cm high and 33cm from head to tail. (Gift paper: 60cm square)
I did my own design on the legs and claws.

Nice model and nice pictures.

Suggestion for the pictures: do you have a photo editing program that you can use to lighten the picture, reduce shadows on the models, or tweak the contrast.

The second picture does not seem to have enough light at this angle, so we can't easily see the details, which look good from what I see.

Thanks for the clue simon.

In future i make sure, that there won't be any shadow etc.

Here are some of my first own creations when a began to fold. Now i haven't got time to create and design own models, but i'm still folding from diagrams. I thought it would be interesting to show the first work.

Kind of a squirrel


dinosaur


again


Apatosaurus


again (other design)


Kind of an insect


A parrot


Fantasy creature


Again, i like the unusual design of this one


This one is more up to date: Kind of a sea horse with an unicorn and a the tail of satoshi's phoenix


A cuttlefish...



and finally a try on a design

[Alan]

My first success on a crease-pattern. I tried other but they are not worth to show:)

Brian Chan's hermit crab
Size: 8.5cm long, 7cm wide (Printing paper: 20cm square)


And the hermit crab designed by R. Lang (Origami Sea Life)
Size: 6cm long, 7.7 wide (Japanese Origami paper: 18cm square)

If you don't mind, I would like to name your models based on what I THINK they are
1. squirrel penguin!
2. two legged velociraptor
3. two legged t-rex
4. dimetrodon?
5. apatosaurus
6. dragon head
7. legless floating claw-armed demon from hell
8. some wierd half fish half dinosaur sea monster
9. quetzacoatl?
10. your description
11. cuttlefish (by the way, nice design!)
12. chinese lantern?

[Alan]

Well, everyone has their own point of view. A list would be endless, if we would collect names for them.
anyhow, it was nice to find out what you thought about the designs

Just to go back to Origami WE ALL UNDERSTAND.
Close to perfection , need thinner paper! (R. Lang: Hercules Beetle, folded by me)

[Alan]

When i first discovered the legal free diagrams on the internet, i folded the Acrocanthosaurus designed by Jerry Harris. I hadn't any practice a the time and it just works.

Size: 18cm long


So i decided to go on in future...
and the second model was the T-Rex, also designed by Jerry Harris:
Size : about 15cm long


And the first model i folded with a memorized diagram was this one:


Again, but in colour

Hi Alan!
I want to ask
where did you get the shell diagram?
and where did you get than fish/ carp diagram?

thanks...

[Alan]

Hi jojotoar

Shell-Diagram: http://www.pajarita.org/aep/internacion ... ern5-2.pdf

The fish is from an origami-calendar i received. I'm not allowed to show up diagrams in this forum.

Please click on the link to visit my gallery on imageshack. There you'll find the diagram.
Sometimes you have to refresh the site so that all pictures will show up.

[jojotoar]

Thanks a lot Alan!

Big one: almost 65cm from head to tail (Poster paper: 60cm square)
