Do a Vamdemon :twisted: I tried a while ago, and, as you could probably guess, didn't get any results :evil:

19x 19.5 inches
Black
Fairly thin
Double tissue
I'm willing to fold as complex as I can get :3

I've had this sheet for a while now x-x
Two models I had in mind were Kamiyas Divine Dragon and Koh's Black moor. But then I'm either left with nothing to work with and having to make more (dragon), or having lots left and no idea what to make after(fish). If anybody has some ideas, that would be great.

Hm. It sounds like a good idea. I have an idea in mind now.
And speaking of angels, I'm surprised nobody went for upper body with six wings on fire. Or video game angels x-x. Or... in fact, I'll keep that last idea to myself. :) Yup, now two ideas P:

Considering the heavier weight, you shoud try anything by David Brill, then wetfolding the paper.

1. 50x 50 cm
2. White, but I have plenty of paint.
3. 30 gms. I think.
4. The heavier kind of thai unryu. Still very thin though.
5. Complex, no Kamiya models.

I'm willing to fold from cp, here Kamiyas models are allowed.

fold the bull moose, with paper that size it should fold fairly easy without any trouble....and since youre using foil it should hold its shape ver well......or you could do a giant treefrog....that would be cool too.....but i still say fold the moose...its a great example of boxpleating...good luck!

Model I want to fold is Eric Joisel's Mermaid.
48x24 CM
Smoke Grey
55 gms
Lokta

Info for what I might buy at the suggestion
48x24 CM
White
25 gms (50 since two halves MC'd together)
Lokta

Now, I tried just one half of the white with the model, and it turned out horrid. Tried again, MC'd some parts to make it 50 gms in those pars with the cut off white I wasn't using (silly thing isn't perfect 1:2 rectangle), and it came out stunning on some parts, horrifying on others. The grey proved to me thick when I made Eric's rat, but it came out adorable ~. So I'm rather stuck. Should I try for his mermaid with the grey, or buy another sheet of the white lokta? And in that case, shoul I make the whole half MC'd to the other half?
