I know it don't look good at all. I'm absolutly rubbish at tessaltions and stuff, so this is probably the best i'm gonna get with a mask. No harm in trying though, but i'll need something better than kami.

Josh, that fox looks far from simple. It looks high intermediate. The paper looks like it's getting really unmanageable and it looks really messy. the whole point of folding with kami is that you fold neatly, accurately and crisply, but the back of that fox looks like it has been mushed into place. Please do not label that fox simple unless it has <25steps and no sink folds, wraps etc or indeed anything harder than a petal or swivel fold.
What you are learning, though it seems paradoxical, is that good simple models are harder to do than complex ones. Good simple models are rare. My advice to you is to have a look at the models of creative geniuses such as Nick Robinson and Kasahara and fold their work, and maybe try to incorporate some of their genius into your models.

Thanks Arun! And thanks Evan!
And as for your first comment, no it's not nessecerely simple but it's simpler than my other models! I think i should just stick to my normal complex designs. They suit my folding more...

Yes, your normal folding style is much better.

Joshua - would you consider designing a tarsier? Their proportions are quite strange - hugh head, hugh eyes, pointy nose, long fingers and toes and a relatively tiny body.

I think they are very cute and a bit like your aye aye.

I have been considering one for a while now. I'm just trying to find the right folding sequence... :)

The new deer isn't as good as the first one.

Yea, still needs to be improved. I wanted the antlers to be 'stick' like, rather than all gathered up. But i'm not really too disappointed with the design.
