Elephant looks great, qtrollip! Very sturdy looking body too. I like the inclusion of the eyes on the side of the head. I think that may be the first time I've seen eyes represented in an origami elephant.
Excellent! I love the Chimp, and the elephant, well, come to think of it, it's all amazing! Keep up the amazing work; I'm looking forward to see what you design next!
Thank you guys.
Floopate, I fold most of my models dry and then spray them lightly with water after they are folded, just to keep the shape better. I call that dry-wet folding, but I may be wrong about the term.
Thank you again

ooh! thanks for the clear up oh, i have to say that climbing is my other love too! i love climbing. not much one can climb here though. but it still is and always will be one of my loves. hehe!
Floopate :
Momentarily off topic , of course, but yeah, friction/free climbing and mountain climbing ( Whitney & Orizaba) were great, but alas, the only mountains that I am relegated to conquer these days are on paper.
Such flow the sands of time....
May I wish success to all who cope with the mountains & valleys of Life,
with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .
African Elephant
Designed and folded from an uncut square.
Same as before, but changed the base of the tusks and also the trunk is trumpeting. I found this nice textured paper-and it was the right colour!
The tusks are colour-changed.
