Description
relatively simple, just a bird base with some point splitting going on.
I folded this one from a 27 cm square of lokata. it's not much larger than the original draft, but much cleaner and holds its shape much better
For comparison, here is the first version: [link]
and here is the second version: [link]
neither of these two got any comments though. XD

This is brilliant! I love your gallery, I'm staggered what you can do with origami!

big honking sheet of blue paper XD

Oh... I like the way you care about its environment too

Ichthyosaurus : Aawaaa....where are my eyes.....where are my eyes

I hope you are not complaining the model doesn't have eyes... it was supposed to be a simple model, so I focused on the shape and proportions rather than deails...

In some other image i said this same thing before.That one had some folding near eyes which you explained me.Also you did said something like it was a simple model.Anyway,i don't know much about the differences.How about a Megalodon ?

Megalodon? not a chance. not after this model: [link]
I might end up making models of prehistoric fish, but not megalodon. A friend of mine comissioned me to make Edestus, I'll see how that goes...
Dunkleosteus is interesting, and so is Xiphactinus. I would really like to design Xiphactinus, but that will take a lot of time...
Orthacanthus would be a great companion for my Diplocaulus, as well as the amphibial Lysorophus. If you know, could you tell me what other animals (preferably small fish) coexisted with Diplocaulus?
Gerrothorax is the only other prehistoric amphibian i have designed, but now I'm starting to think about redesigning it, I am still not sure about the model...
I am currently working on a series of prehistoric reptiles, I have already pinned down the structures of the models but I still need to fold them.
The series will include Mosasaurus, Brachauchenius, Metriorhynchus, Kronosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Nothosaurus, Tanystropheus, Mesosaurus and hopefully also Elasmosaurus, but I haven't created a good enough structure for it yet. All of these are going to have teeth, so I will maybe consider making a more detailed version of ichthyosaurus too, but I am not sure about that yet. it might be cool to add Mixosaurus, Cymbospondylus, Shonisaurus and Shastasaurus, but those are just plans for the future XD

Are you saying,you can't able to make it ? Is that guy made the mouth of Megalodon by cutting paper or just by folding ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
my skills are limited and good sharks are very hard to do
and yes. The shark is one sheet, no cuts. if he cut the teeth out, that would be no fun.

hmm..i see.I think the Master of Origami can do it

anything is possible in origami

hahahah, no, not at all!
but what I could do is fold a scale figure of a human! XD (I mean, "to scale" with this folded ichthyosaurus XD)
I only made the diplocaulus that way because the design was really efficient, only losing a few centimeters in the total length in comparison with the length of the starting square's edge, but with this ichthyosaurus, I would need paper that has an edge length twice larger than the length of the animal in order to make it happen, because the design is not very efficient, producing a model which is only 0.6 of the edge's length long, and I have no way of obtaining a 5 meter square, no way of transporting it home and nowhere to fold it once I get it home XD It is simply way out of my range of possibilities at the moment XD

And then think about where to put it once you're done. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah! and way easier to achieve!

Yeah.

my mom would get a heart attack if she woke up to a LIFESIZED!!! (XD) group of ancient warriors XD I can'd do that dude! XD

Hmm, how about filling the floors of your house with thousands of mini-soldiers (+- 20 cm)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
indubitably, but thousands of soldiers would take multipple thousands of hours to fold! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
hahah, I am actually planning on doing that!
And I have another model in the works right now, a mosdasaurus with teeth!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep!

I don't speak oragami, but that sounds great.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahah that's just geometry
(that means that the final model is "big" in comparison with the original size of the square. For example, the mosasaurus I am working on is gonna be longer than the starting square, but only insignifficantly so. XD still, it is not very common to design something that ends up being longer than the edge of the starting square)

No problem

Is mpressive your progress with the figures! Is very realistic and of course, is a nice ichthyosaur

I am just about to replace the photo

Cool! I like how the colour and slightly blurred photo makes it look as if it was underwater... and damn, printer paper can do THIS?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah! I actually use printer paper a loot for doodling! XD Sadly, no instructions for this model yet, I have just quickly thrown it together and uploaded the least crappy pic I had... XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
thank you! the previous versions I have made were quite laughable, but I am fairly satisfied with this one. Just need to fold it from something better than printer paper
