chris_t vs Kyle2952 - informal duel

[chris_t]

I always struggle coming up with topics, but here we go...

1. COLOUR CHANGE
2. LANDMARKS
3. ANIMAL PARTS - e.g. lion's head, bird's wing, human hand, etc, anything that's not the whole animal

I don't mind if you want to use modular, or non-square bits of paper, so long as it's still recognisable as origami! Shall we say 1 month to finish the model - i.e. deadline 1st April?

[Kyle2952]

By landmarks, i assume you mean famous places, i.e the grand canyon, eiffel tower, etc? In the animal parts category, are mythical creatures allowed?

[chris_t]

By landmarks, i assume you mean famous places, i.e the grand canyon, eiffel tower, etc?

Yes, exactly. I was thinking man-made landmarks when I made the topic, but there's no reason that natural ones shoudn't be acceptable as well.

In the animal parts category, are mythical creatures allowed?

Yes, that would be fine. Living, extinct, real, mythical, fantasy, anything.

[Kyle2952]

Sounds good! I pick topic 3! Good luck!

[Kyle2952]

My first entries... not very complex, just quick 5 minute designs. Top is bp, bottom is 22.5 degree.

[chris_t]

Wow, that was quick! Looks good though. I may take a little longer...

[Kyle2952]

Yeah, like I said these were juat quick designs, I will (hopefully) have a better design in later.

[Kyle2952]

The month is over.. This isn't exactly how i wanted to win, but i guess i do. Anybody have any feedback on my designs, by the way?

They're very nice designs. They remind me somewhat of the head of Kamiya's Ancient Dragon.
Are you going to try to find a way to add bodies to them?

[Kyle2952]

Yep, I'm working on that right now.. Im probably gonna do 3 heads, using the box-pleated version.

[chris_t]

Hi Kyle,

I do have a design that I will upload some photos of tomorrow. It is after the deadline, so you are right that you win. But if you are interested I can start a poll tomorrow?

Chris

[Kyle2952]

yeah sure I'd love to see your design too!

[chris_t]

Sorry for the lateness! Here is my design:

Elephant head. Folded from 8" elephant hide - what else?

[chris_t]

OK, I've put up a poll, please vote away! And if you can't decide, it's only fair that you vote for the one that was actually in before the deadline
