It uses the same base as the war pig. I don't know if I could do a diagram... I could probably do a cp. If I had a free weekend I might see what I can do for a digram.

As for designing, what I've always done is come up with a good simple base that gives me enough points that I can work with. Then I'll take a sheet of notebook paper, resize it, and start working to achieve the result I want. Usually, after a few tries, I get the result I'm looking for, and then I make it out of regular paper. I guess, if I could assign a term, it would be "Controlled Experimentation."

Heres my final War Pig. If I had to choose which of my pigs goes in the gallery, it would have to be my simple pig, rather than this War Pig. The CP is in my blog, I would be grateful if some one could fold it to prove that it works.

Folded another version of my wild boar, that's significantly bigger and out of non-metallic paper.

Just a reminder tomorrow is the last day for submission. Remember you don't have to create one- you can just fold an already existing one! So fold some and submit :P

Since it doesn't have to be one of your own, I folded Issei Yoshino's Wild Boar last month... Here is the image

Aurèle, I love your pig. It's simple and beautiful :) But i would love to see a little more detail on the head to make it looks more realistic :D
