Hi Joshua
Congratulations for your great folding improvements!
I had a big shock looking at the last your picture before reading the message!

A question: where did you find diagrams for Roman diaz Donkey?
Ciao ciao
Mario

[Razzmatazz]

Your bull is better than a lot of your other folds. You're getting better at making it cleaner and designing cleaner folds. Hopefully your very proud of the job you've done.
A few things you should fix on the bull though are the shortness of the hind legs and how the but needs to be a tad longer and rounder.

[joshuaorigami]

thank you! and yes, i am very proud of the models ive made lately.
roman diaz's donkey diagrams can be found in his book origami essence.

could someone challenge me on what to design plz

[joshuaorigami]

this is the crease pattern for my fish. but its not very accurate.
please try it - its probably the most simple cp you can get!

Joshua, rather than designing a dozen models a day, you should perhaps focus on refining the models you've already designed. You should look for way to improve the arrangement of flaps, improve the proportions, perhaps add or remove details in order to get a cleaner result, etcetera.

Experiment with new bases, rather than constantly using the same ones; Your allosaurus and coelophysis appear to have nearly identical base. You could try changing one of the bases to make it more distinguishable.

The fish looks cute, but you could probably improve the way its head looks.

[joshuaorigami]

i do experiment with new bases. every one of my designs come from different bases. the coelophysis comes from a preliminary base and my allosaurus comes from a completely different base i came up with.
i do not use the same base over and over, so please don't think i do.
also my allosaurus has toes, fingers and one extra flap on its head to the coelophysis. i try to make new bases every time i design.

I think your fish is fine-Adam does have a point about your models looking similar, but I don't think it is because your bases are too similar It looks like on a lot of your dinos you thin them with a lot of sinks-whether or not this is the case, they look kind of boxy. To remedy this you can try and make the neck more tapered (thicker at the bottom, thinner at the head) and give them knees! A little bit of shaping makes all the difference. Keep up the good work!

[joshuaorigami]

i will shape my next dino more!!
and then enter it to this months competition... although im not quite sure what to do next...
any ideas?

[Jonnycakes]

How about a kuehneosaurus?

[joshuaorigami]

ok, im on it!
