The first step is done)įirst of all, a huge thanks to Phạm Hoàng Tuấn who gave me this and more of his beautiful and unique papers to test them.This is the one that caught my attention more and immediately thought of making the kamiya frog with it, a very special and unique paper with great benefits for origami, I don't wanted to waste it so I pushed my shaping skills to the limit in order to achieve the best possible result and I think I did it, for me this is my best work in terms of shaping, again many thanks to Pham Hoàng Tuân his beautiful paper was perfect for this model.

I know that's the part of Kamiya's original design but it looks perfect for me just in his own versions. While the head is rather OK, the body is just weird. But honestly I should to because I have some interesting ideas about modifying it.įirst of all I want to make the head and the body more 3D.

Okay there are some funky closed sinks and unwraps. Just really really good and super complex. My favorite T-Rex in all of origami.ĭivine Dragon - Not really that hard. Tyrannosaurus - Has an open sink that will drive you out of your mind. The hard thing about it is that it's 3-D. Smilodon - Not hard at all if you use foil.

(In that case the dragons are pretty hard) Does it mean something that is hard to make look good unless you use special ultra-thin paper and mold the heck out of it? (Pegasus) Does it mean something that is just not the least bit of fun to fold so you want to stop? (Blue whale) Or something with a boring fold sequence? (Wizard and Mammoth). It is also the only one that I have never fully folded. Hong Tin Quyt designed a great unicorn head using that distinct curved Vietnamese origami style.
