An experiment in wet-folding. I think it might be a ray of some sort. I got the idea for the general shape while playing with a napkin at dinner, an decided it might be an interesting place to start wet-folding. I didn’t really have any references in mind, so I just started folding what looked about right. As a result, the tail is really messy and imprecise, and the overall shape is a bit off, but I kinda like how it turned out.
The paper is just some mottled cardstock we have lying around at my house, and it started falling apart pretty quickly, hence the crinkly tail-barb-thingy. I’m pretty sure the design is original, but if not, I think I at least arrived at it independently.
EDIT: Re-posted with another angle… Does anyone know how to add another picture without deleting the original post completely?

Leaping Pegasus Part 2, now with a way more awesome base! I needed to add some weight to the base to make the cantilever would stay upright, so I duct-taped a quarter to the paperclip.
I wonder where it’s flying to…

Experimenting a little with different poses of Satoshi Kamiya’s Pegasus. This little dude is folded from a 5-inch square of tracing paper, and the stand is a paperclip I had lying around….
Fun Fact: The plural of Pegasus is actually Pegasusses, not Pegasi. Pegasi is the possessive modifier for stars belonging to the constellation Pegasus.

Roman Diaz’s Steer, from Origami from Interpreters. Mostly an intermediate model, except for the weird double crimp to get the head to bend down (I messed that up a little). 6-inch white kami, as per usual…

So against my better judgement, I decided to fold another Lang arthropod. Oops… Seriously, there have to be at least 20 layers in that tail, what with all the thinning of flaps and such… And the other thing I forgot to rant about last time was the pre-creasing. It took me a solid hour of folding references to even collapse the first base, though i have to say it worked out better than the cockroach… Maybe it’s because I folded this from tracing paper instead of kami…

“No Boxbot, no! What are you doing on the computer? Stop before you br-*CRASH*…something… I am very disappointed in you, Boxbot…”
Boxbot 4.0, now with eyes and wheels, and twice as terrible! I probably should have used much thicker paper, but I don’t have anything big enough besides this tracing paper… Oh, and just like Boxbot 3.5, he’s folded from a 2:1 rectangle.
Enjoy! (Or feel free to cringe in terror.)
