The pose, the shaping of the body and the paws are great.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's near impossible to make perfect whiskers on a model like that. Kamiya's Smilodon wouldn't look as great with whiskers.

Atlas revisited, the sphere a bit larger, and the head also totally round. The back (not shown) is closed and claen, meaning no edges running across it.
I used cotton wool stuffed into the globe to keep the shape, but now it's top-heavy. That's why I got the wire around (behind the head) to keep the model upright.
I feel I'm getting closer to the result I want, which is a completely 3D sphere with an anatomicaly correct man, which is also 3D. This one is still a bit rough, but I think on the right way.

Quentin may be too humble to brag, but I know lots of folks are interested. BOS has published his booklet and you can see the details here:

Look for Trollip... plus there are many other good booklets.

Congrats ... and

Enjoy,

Great Quentin i don't see any of your horses in there though?

Thanx guys!
Dragon Man, all the designs in there are pre-2004, and intermediate in difficulty. Nothing too difficult.

Final foldings of my Plain Horse
Tail is now also colour-changed.
Folded from 35cm uncut square of a duo paper that I found last year at OrigamiHouse and totally forgot about until I cleaned out my closet a few days ago!

I gave your horse I made to a friend and now she wants to learn how to fold it. I expect it'll take a while but I expect everything to go fairly well, except the mane might be a bit tricky to do cleanly the first time around.
Since I don't have the model handy, is the color-changed tail pretty simple to figure out? I don't expect it to be a major problem. It looks great with it for sure though.

Polar Bear
With colour-changes (black) nose, eyes and nails (5 toes each foot).
I think foil would be better as the folds were getting a bit small at the end. It's a combination of my previous Polar Bear and Black Bear, and the head was inspired some by Dr. Bernie Peytons work.

Quentin,
Great job on updating the polar bear. I think this and your black bear are the best origami representations of a bear I have seen. Keep up the great work!

Congratulation! Very good model, you catch all what is need.

Great model.

Quentin,

your pictures in this and other threads are single-handedly responsible for my creating an account and posting here.

Please make a book with these designs happen - I'll be the first one to buy it.

Thank you Xaoslord, Ondrej, and gachepapier.

Gachepapier, I"m working on it (as I get time). Thank you again!
