Seriously guys, don't lose sight of what the challenge! There have bee some really cool submissions, but some of the models are not at all 'curved'. Many of the insects here are good examples, they don't even look as if they are related to the challenge! A simple curve to the antennae or such does not make your model primarily curved.

This is not 'The August Origami Challenge: Fold anything you want' competition. It has a theme and I personally feel you should follow it.

you're right, but I just had to shape that with curves for the challenge, but it just won't keep the folds!so I just added it with slightly curved abdomen, antenna and mainly head!!

I have to agree with this. I don't want to make any rule amendments since one person's curved fold might be another person's shaping, which is why I leave the final call on these issues to the judge. However, when I proposed the theme, my intent was that the curve(s) should be a rather important part of the model/subject.

ugh.I completely understand now.I think my models doesn't deserve a plave in this challenge......it was not created for the challenge anyway..........(i was inspired by a picture in my animal encyclopedia)

My entry!

(trumpets sound; and the crowd roars!)

A Trojan/Hermes'/ helmet
Or you can call it a helmet with wings, fins what ever. You can shape the fins/wings to your liking.

Does anyone feel like they want to fold it?

Razzmatazz cool helmet....similar to golden snitch of harry potter!!

That sounded rude to me. I did not copy or reference anything. I made this in the car.

Plus I can't even seem to find even a picture of your model ANYWHERE. So how could I copy it?

Do not take it as an insult! is more of a compliment, I love your model!

Razzmatazz · Post by **Razzmatazz** » August 18th, 2010, 8:11 pm

Well Thank you, is there even a picture of your snitch I could see? Was it from a square?

Harry Potter is a very prominent book series that is currently released as movies and the golden snitch is a ball with wings that is mentioned several times there as part of a game.
Reminding of a ball is a good thing in this challenge, balls are very round
