You can mark the paper.

No cuts.
No glue.

1 sheet.

Anything I've missed?
Each topic has its own rules. For example, if you chose the dragons one, you would follow that set of rules. (e.g. You wouldn't be allowed more than one sheet). Not sure if you're meant to do that, if I'm not, I'll change it.
Anyway, take your pick. I'll set the deadline to midnight one month after you post your answer.

1 sheet.

For the dragons, what typea can we do for example?

Frost dragon, marsupial dragon, moth dragon, pseudo dragons such as the Komodo dragon and the cockatrice, or you could just think of an adjective and put it in front of the word dragon e.g. 'fluffy'+ 'dragon' = the origami fluffy dragon.

Ok, i'll choose the dragons. Good luck!

Cool. I edited the front post. One month. Good luck!

Good luck guys

harpseal- sorry, but i have to drop out. i'm having a really bad design block, and not in the mood to try either.

To bad this duel has been canceled, since this was the first time for me reading about moth dragons and marsupial dragons.
Btw, what is a 'reflex angle'?

Harp, I am willing to continue this challenge in place of Kyle. Only if you agree though. I found your topics really cool!

I'm pretty sure a reflex angle is when the interior angle is greater than 180 degrees.

Every angle has a reflex angle, so he should have just said no angles greater than 180 degrees.

But "reflex angles" is much simpler to type than "angles greater than 180 degrees"

yeah but like i said every angle has a reflex angle. so no shapes would be accepted :\

I think it means shapes where none of the interior angles are reflex, to stop you from just starting off with a piece of paper cut out into the shape of a viking

That's what I was trying to say... But I think I worded it quite badly
