origami mammals challenge!

Your fox looks more like a wolf to me,maybe some minor adjustments?

[joshuaorigami]

i think it looks way more of a fox than a wolf because of the tail colour changes and head. look at the pictures below

@joshuaorigami I quite like your rhinoceros, the details show through a lot better on that model than your models using tissue-foil (it's not very camera friendly). What paper have you used there? A little constructive criticism: have you thought of refining the feet in the next iteration of the model? I think rhinoceroses have quite fat almost cylindrical feet, much like elephants.

thanks! the paper used was 35cm tant and i will to refold this when the paper that i ordered comes i agree on what you said about the feet - i think i done a bit too much on them, but i will fix this soon.

@darkeagle I second that comment on your wolf, it is wonderful! If I could actually complete a CP I'd take a stab myself but I don't think I'm at a level yet where I could do it justice!

The new oryx is much better, but the tissue-foil is splaying! We can see the foil. When you're making tissue-foil, you might need to cut a smaller square than the one you have because things like that can happen.

thanks! i cant help about the tissue foil splaying but i will try to prevent it from happening in future
also i love your flickr!

Joshua:

1) Please remove yellow fluffy towels from the background of your photographs, especially if you are going to focus upon them, rather than the model. In fact, remove all clutter, and use a large sheet of paper as a background.

2) Please read the manual to your camera.

3) Having done (2) above, switch the 'date' off from each picture.

4) Having done (2) above, please use the 'close focus' function, and focus upon your models.

5) Have a bright light above, and a bright light behind you when taking photos, and switch the flash off. That way, we'll be able to see your models.

6) If you are photographing animals, stand them up for the photos. If they won't stand up, cheat, and use Blu-tak, or something similar. If that still won't work, come up with a design that will.

I hope that this advice helps.

Fishy.
