Bug made from men

Recently, I made yet another model. The model, which is a bug, came to me when I was trying to make a man variation, which consists of four men, which didn't work out. So, instead, I figure out that I could fold the six flaps into legs and the rest could be the body. Heres what I ended up with in the way of CPs (you can probably tell that it's four man CPs together...):


And heres what you get if you get all the flaps in the right place:

More Man CPs

Well, I made the CPs for all the variations of my man design(except for the flying one, because thats out of the same base as the original man). And here they are:

Swordsman


Man with Two Extra Arms


Man Running Quickly

(The CP can continue and be as long as you want)

Man Petting Dog


Six-legged Man


High Five!


These CPs go to show you how easy it is to create a variation. You can put pretty much anything onto the design, all you have to do is change the size of the rectangle and use a 6:6 grid. Good luck!

Even More Man variations

Well, I got to folding the other day, and made up a whole lot of Man variations. They are all from different sized rectangles:
with wings (Square)


running quickly (Any long rectangle)


petting a dog (2:1 rectangle)


six-legged man


high five!


Soon, I will make a guide on how I make my variations so easily (even you can do it!)

Two-headed Man: Another simple design

I was trying to think of something to design, so I thought of starting from the basics: A human figure. Wait a second, don't I already have a human figure design? I started out with some sort of figure with four arms and a head, and then something with four arms and no head, and then I finally got the desired result, from a 20:20 grid:


Yes, it is quite simple. But that just means that it's easy to configure, right? Heres a picture of what you should end up with:



Hmm... He's really tall and appears to have only one neck... Oh well!

Boxpleated Fish

Well, I got to folding the fish from the Fish design challenge on the french forum, and made up a CP in class. Since then, I changed the CP greatly (mainly because the first one wasn't collapsible) and ended up with this, from a 16:16 grid:


That CP collapses into this:

Spooky Skull

Recently for the new monthly folding challenge on the english forum, the topic was a human skull. I had no idea whatsoever what to fold for this, so I just thought up something simple. With a bunch of pleats, and a couple of mountain and valley folds to make it 3D, I made this:


It's not overly impressive, all it has are indents for eyes and an indent for the mouth. I might consider making a CP, but it's such a simple model...

A nice violinist variation...

This was actually a challenge from my music teacher. When he saw my violinist and my bassist from "the Complete Book of Origami" by Robert J. Lang, he asked me if I could fold A drummer. I did it by simply making the two arms identical (two bows) and made the tails of the suit into a drum (which takes a while...), and he still has it on his desk today. Sadly I don't have a CP, but here are some instructions:
1. Go and buy "the Complete Book of Origami" by Robert J. Lang
2. Fold the violinist at least once before trying this
3. Make the violinist with both arms being identical, so that that they both hold bows
4. Stretch the tails of the suit out and shape it to become a drum.
5. Enjoy (optional)

And here's some pictures to work with:
