Monthly Folding Challenge- September 2007

This months challenge: Horned Animals.

The idea is to fold any horned animal, real or made up (for instance a jackalope or a moose). Antlers do count, too. Also, to keep the models decent looking, the horns/antlers must be on the animal's head.

The model can be from any shape of paper (squares would probably be easiest), And a maximum of two pieces of paper.

Be sure to put the designer, although designing it yourself is suggested, and the name of the model.

And alisher_navoi is the judge! Good luck everyone!

How about the Wild boar with four or six teeth? Do they count?

Well, if you're talking about large teeth on a boar, then the answer is no. It must have horns or antlers.

Cupcake, that's not a giraffe. Maybe an okapi or something, but the neck is way too short for a giraffe.

It's a short-necked giraffe with no spots :P

But honestly, its a baby giraffe. They do have shorter necks.

I like it. Makes me think of the Giraffe herd at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
(They just had to put down the oldest Giraffe... :cry: He had bad arthritis and a few other problems with his legs... Hm...that makes me think...I may design my own Giraffe...)

But anyways, that's a nice Giraffe.

I have a question...are 3D models prefered, or can they be flat models as well?

Flat models are okay too. It's just preferred that it's your own design.
