thanks legionzilla!
yeh, for some reason if you tell me to design something i can fold it within a few hours! dunno why, it just happens. look, test me. tell me any living thing to design and i will do it by the end of the day!
i sadly can't refold this tanuki due to the fact that i didnt diagram it and there was soooo much precreasing that i couldnt remember.
but im happy with this result!

I challenge you to fold a perfectly folded, with no splayed layers or crumpling, swallow. It must have elegance and grace, a good sense of movement and look extremely realistic.

You must pay attention to every single crease and make it really beautiful.
I wouldn't recommend tissue foil, as you would instantly fail the challenge.

If you can do this in a day, I may have some respect for you.

Joshua, I think that Pacman is fantastic. Please do not change a thing about it, except yeah, fold it better. But do not change the shape. It is perfect as is. It has so much action and that angry eye gives it much character. He looks like Pacman on a rampage. It makes it obvious why those ghosts are so scared.

That tanuki has plenty of wrinkles. Those are exactly the wrinkles that are all but inevitable when using tissue-foil. And I really can't tell what it is. Sorry.

Here's an example of folding wrinkle-free with tissue-foil: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oriholic/3907486439/

swallow completed!! i will refold this in a bit beacuse it has a tiny rip near on the head

Sorry Joshua, but that's nowhere near up to standard

joshuaorigami · Post by **joshuaorigami** » June 3rd, 2010, 12:39 pm

how about this?

Ben385 · Post by **Ben385** » June 3rd, 2010, 1:04 pm

some wrinkling on the body, crimp folds on wings not neat enough, a frayed edge on the paper (I think) tail points not crisp enough, head a little lacking in detail- I think you could make some small modifications for eyes or at least a neater beak, some small amounts of layer splaying.

Also I think it would be much nicer if it was a bit more 'flowing'

ok, ill fold it again in a little while.
also, how about we both design a swallow and then have a poll to see what everyone likes better?

Okay Joshua, but just so you know I'll be in London until monday, so no folding time then

I'll work on something when I get back

awesome!

joshuaorigami · Post by **joshuaorigami** » June 3rd, 2010, 2:37 pm

minor changes to the tail and wings.

I have to admit, I like the previous tail much better. it's more "swallow" like.

yeh, i like them both but i also prefer the first one.
i have also discovered a new base that should provide a nice swallow.
i will fold it when i get some paper tomorrow.

joshuaorigami · Post by **joshuaorigami** » June 3rd, 2010, 7:29 pm

a new swallow! this time it has a colour changed belly!

i will refold it with bigger paper tomorrow. folded from 7x7cm paper.
