fossilsrock Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 These were both designed by a Japanese artist named Issei Yoshino. Each are made from multiple squares. They won't stand up to serious anatomical scrutiny but they're pretty fun to make! I think I've made 5 or 6 of each through the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilsrock Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 -Not a dinosaur. This "Shark Jaw" is not based on any real species (the dentition is all the same teeth!) but it's special to me because it's my original design - folded from a single square of paper without any cuts. I've included the "crease pattern" so you can see how many folds it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manticocerasman Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Sure, do you need one? I dont' realy need one , I would be glad with just a picture of it. How long does it take to fold something like the pictures you showed, a few months back they showed me how to fold a lotus, It took me a while to make it. growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

fossilsrock Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 The skeletons take a week each for folding and assembly, but I can't say actual hours. The longest I spent on a single piece was 40 hours on a dragon (made from one big square.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
