Chthulhu, January 2012
I think this is the most challenging model I have done so far. I spent a year and a half in this one...
Folded from an 19x19 in tissue-foil uncut square. First I tried to make it with a water-bomb base but I couldn't get enough tentacles so I made a new version beginning with a modified water-bomb base so I could use a larger area of the paper just for the head.



I'm so happy!!

Nice! I'm off/on designing a Cthulu as well.
This is something that would probably go in "What have you folded lately?" though. Unless you're going to use this thread for all your stuff.

Nice

Elephant, April 2011

The first time I did this, it was during a cell biology laboratory session its quite simple, you can download the diagram here: http://tinjaos.yolasite.com/resources/E ... Romero.pdf

Balaur, January 2011.

A weird dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period. I am proud of this model because I managed to recreate this dinosaur's anatomy. You can download the diagram here: https://docs.google.com/uc?export=downl ... y=CKP-uK8L

Ninja, 2005
A ninja holding a ninjato in one hand and a shuko in the other, this is probably my first decent origami

i think you should make the dinosaur out of better paper. even so it's amazing!

Very nice Chthulhu! That's complex, indeed.

Thank you! I have already made it with tissue-foil but the result was not what I expected, this one made with wet folding looks way better, I should try again with tissue-foil though...

Bacteriophague v1, January 2010
This is the typical shape of a virus that infects bacteria and archaea



Bacteriophague v2, January 2010
This new version has six legs instead of four, tissue-foiled



other interpretations (just like my brother's) should be avoided xD

cool spider thing

it is called a bacteriophage. and it looks exactly right! great job

Origami Megatron, July, 2009.

From the legendary "Transformers", based on the design that appears in the latest movies. This is the first successful model. It is partially diagrammed.



Origami Megatron II, July, 2009.

"The Transformers" villain, Megatron. Note the changes I made to the paper version, the arms, the shoulders, the wheels and the chest are different. This is my first tissue foiled origami ever

Canto XXXIV

"Vexilla regis prodeunt inferni(the banners of Hell's Monarch do come forth
Towards us) therefore look,” so spake my guide,
“If thou discern him..."

"Oh what a sight!
How passing strange it seem'd, when I did spy
Upon his head three faces: one in front
Of hue vermilion, th' other two with this
Midway each shoulder join'd and at the crest...

Under each shot forth
Two mighty wings, enormous as became
A bird so vast. Sails never such I saw
Outstretch'd on the wide sea...

At six eyes he wept: the tears
Adown three chins distill'd with bloody foam.
At every mouth his teeth a sinner champ'd
Bruis'd as with pond'rous engine, so that three
Were in this guise tormented...

“That upper spirit,
Who hath worse punishment,” so spake my guide,
“Is Judas, he that hath his head within
And plies the feet without. Of th' other two,
Whose heads are under, from the murky jaw
Who hangs, is Brutus: lo! how he doth writhe
And speaks not! Th' other Cassius, that appears
So large of limb...

Origami Dante's Satan, Created it in 2007

I spent almost a month working on it until I realized that I needed a really big sheet of paper to give the head a fine form (at least is the best i got, and please NOTE: those things in satan's mouth are not fangs, are Juda's legs). Sorry about the picture's quality.
