Add me to the rorschach admirers list.
Wonderful original idea - very cute instructions too, heh!

I see a greedy, angry, vengeful frog!

Well, basically you start with a windmill base and then create the colour-spots with irregular squash/petal/swivel folds. It needs a bit of tweaking to be able to cover the colour for the "action".

The version I folded actually has some reference-points as well, so I might draw diagrams when I find the time

Nice idea, and execution.

I like the demonic TV too, and, for once, a non cute panda.

He almost looks grumpy in the close up, which is refreshing.

Maybe he's sick of people trying to get him to mate to save heis species.

It seems to me like you just fold a windmill base with the white side up, squash all the 'arms' of the windmill, and then fiddle with the squashed flaps, doing swivel/squash/petal/any other flat folds you can think of until you get an arrangemet you like. What do you mean by your second sentence?

For the action to work like in the video I showed, you need to be able to hide all the colour by swinging over a flap. You need to play around a bit for that.

AH! "Kicks self" A windmill base! I never thought of that.. but I guess it is the obvious choice of base for it.

This warrior is really impressive

That demonic TV is such an original idea.

I haven't submited much models this month 'cause I'm working hardly in just one model, a hawk-eagle aka Spizaetus melanoleucus. I've folded nice wings, a head, a tail, legs and fingers... And sice then I've been spending hours everyday to fold everything from one uncut square... color changes are puting me crazy... I'm almost finishing and I wish I can post it until the end of the month.

If I had any time to fold something for this month, I would, but all of my time is taken up by diagramming my cup of eggnog.

I made a ying Yang, but I can't seem to find the instructions anywhere. It's not my design, but it still is black and white. To bad I can't enter it
