ok, upgraded version of my last design.

I tried to make it simple, so I could work more in the shape.

Agreed; Nicely designed and folded. What paper did you use?

The geisha is excellent piece of origami. I would like to point out especially no fingers!

Here's another entry from me.
Box Pleated from 8cm x 8cm paper.
16 x 16 grid.
I was trying to see how much detail and sculpting I could create from a relatively low-resolution pleating.
I'm pretty happy with the result. I managed to achieve hair, fingers (Only 3 though), bust, skirt and feet.
I tried to put some detail into the face but it was just too fiddly at that size.

Quite nice, spiritofcat!
Here's mine- An old man

Thanks legionzilla. Your Old Man is very impressive!
It has the feel of Eric Joisel's dwarf, especially the feet. I like it a lot.

Come on, fellas. Is boring box-pleating really what this challenge is about?

All right then, time to dig in the old box†...

Let's see, we got our color changes, she has hair, a dress that actually doesn't have to be pinched into shape, and her dress is convertible--it can also be a pencil dress or a, um, short dress. And if this weren't folded from origami paper her arms wouldn't appear to be so long either.

† This figure was only partially done when I found it. I only finished the folding in the last week.

Nice pirate, Victoria, its really detailed!
Anyway Jared, my piece isn't box-pleated and it also has colour changes, but yours is far more awesome.

My model is not boxpleated at all.

I doubt angrydemon's piece is box-pleated too...
