all of those are great will you relese a cp or diagram

[akugami]

thank you, trouble. may be there'll be a cp of the devil base. with being a boxpleated model it makes no sense to me to draw a step by step diagram for it.

here's my red oni with his new instrument - a five stringed koto (very traditional and not so much to fold as with 13 or even 25 strings ...):

if someone's in the mood of folding my devil/oni with a shamisen - there are crease patterns online at my flickr-gallery ...

[akugami]

yet the secret of the josh-bear pattern is lifted, too ...

Nice oni! I love the detail on the instrument and the cleanness of the folds.

[CyberSphere]

Fantastic work! Even though I like all of your models, I find the Samurai, Monk and Geisha to be especially... mesmerizing. Great folds!

hi grizzly man. i tried both the devil and the shamisen and failed. could you possibly make photo diagrams? i really like both those models and would really like to have them nicely folded on a shelf in my rood
thanks

EDIT: got the shamisen

[orislater]

i failed the josh bear too. the arms and legs are what killed me. do you think maybe you could must make mountain/valley oriented cps? it would help me a lot

[akugami]

@28lorelei and CyberSphere - thanks for your kind words.
@orislater - i'll see if i manage to post pictures of the folded bases for the oni/devil and the josh-bear. fine that you've got the shamisen right. please post a picture of the finished model. did you just a wet or a mc finish to it?

[orislater]

here it is:
i did an mc finish but kind of screwed up the box part.
(the paper dried in the wrong position and i cant fix it) if i ever try it again it will be better
btw i noticed you use kraft paper for a lot of your stuff. would you be interested in sending/selling me any?

[CyberSphere]

I've attempted the Josh-bear today, and I got stuck as well, it would be very nice if you could post pictures of the folded base as you mentioned. If I succeed, I will of course post pictures!

great model, from a simple base, I like this

[akugami]

thanks a lot, sebastien! i think there's still a lot of creative potential in the traditional bases ...

I'm totally agree with you
