you know bookcrossing
travelling by underground and reading this distressing book I needed a bookmark, did it and decided to post my first origami-design proudly for you, you can see as a beginner I kept it flat and simple

Oh! Excellent! Excellent!
My favorite for this month is:
mikiller's figure with black hair in the motion - absolutely magnificent piece of origami art!
I am very bussy so until today I made photo of my models, I have three (as I noticed before).

My Flickr
Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

Ondrej, I like Fuji-San, it has the essence of a mountain.
The oryx is very nice too, the proportions of the antlers looks about perfect.
I often feel many antelope models, of all varieties, make the antlers too short.
Strangely thouhg, deer models seem to get the proportions more correct.
Anyway, a nice model, thouhg I prefer the spingbok, as a creature, and your model.

Thank you very much. I hope, it brings a piece of meditative calmness to everyone in this fast and hectic time period. It is "open-fold" as labelled this style Kasahara Kunihiko.InsomniacFolder wrote:Ondrej, I like Fuji-San, it has the essence of a mountain.

Wizmatt, great question.
When I started of on designing the Oryx, I said to myself that I won't be happy unless the model has the black stripe running along its belly. That is possible here, but then the tail would be white insted of black, and also the shape of the hinquarters would be ugly.
So I was more happy with this result. I think the shape and horns are distinguishable enough as an Oryx and it doesnt need the black stripes to be recognisable.
About the neck, no, no raw edge there.
Seeing that 8 flaps need colour-changes, 8 points need to come from the edge of the square. That means I would need a base with 10 points from the edge to get the stripe along the belly. That would add unwanted lines, and also unused points from the center of the square.
Otherwise I could turn it "inside out", but then the legs and horns would come out the bottom of the model, losing the lines for the shoulders. That would also shorten the horns.
I guess it is possible, but I would have to totally redesign it then and possibly use box-pleating, something I am not fond of in animal models.
Thank you for your interest.
Greetings
