Overhead Kicking

Seeing as this month's english forum challenge is combination folding (folding more than one thing with a piece of paper), I've decided to go with something that really fascinates me: Bicycle Kicks. I have done one or two correctly, but that was out of a lot of tries. Landing would probably have to be the hardest part (at least for me) because its hard to concentrate on the ball and on putting you hands out so that you don't kill your back.
I'm not really sure that I can say that this CP is from one grid... The top right hand quarter is divided into 16:16, while the others are 16:16 diagonally. The top and bottom corners without anything in them can just be folded under.


As you can see, the CP is a bit strange. If you take the top quarter on the CP and flip it over, you would have a soccer player standing up. However, with the CP as it is, you should get something like this:

Mask

This months challenge is to fold a face or mask. This is quite a challenge for me, seeing as "you can't use boxpleating for masks".
However, I proved myself wrong today. You really can use boxpleating, and the result surprised me. I managed to get hair (you can change the length by making it a rectangle wider and folding the CP in the middle), eyes, eyebrows, a nose and a mouth that you can change the expression of. In all, the mask is quite "poseable". The expression can be sad, happy, angry, surprised, etc. as long as the expression can be made using only those body parts listed above.
Anyways, I decided to keep the model simple and go with and 8:8 grid. As mentioned before, you can make it wider to make the hair longer.


The CP folds quite small as compared to the original paper size, I'd say about an 8th. Try out some new expressions!

Prickly!

I recently folded the "waterbomb tessellation" (I think it's called that) after being amazed by Sipho Mabona's Baby Fugu, and this lead to me trying to find a use for it. I eventually got that idea that it would make a good hedgehog, seeing as it has pretty much the same idea as a pufferfish in a way... Anyways, the CP is based on a 16:16 grid seeing as the original tessellation was from that.


The model has a few weird folds around the head and tail, but you should be able to make something that looks like this:

Orange Bushy Tail

Seeing as a friends birthday is coming up, I decided to fold something for them. They once mentioned that they like foxes (and eagles) so I decided to try out a fox. I think it turned out quite well, seeing as I managed to get a color change on the end of the tail. Anyway, I went back to the basics with this model and used a 16:16 grid. I'm glad that I did, too, because it looks quite nice this way.


As you can see, the CP is pretty straightforward. Just make sure that you fold the flap at the bottom over to make the color change. The model should end up like the following pictures.

Donkey

This months folding challenge on the french forum is The Donkey. My only problem is how do you make a difference between a donkey through folding? Certain people have done it, and my idea is that the large ears are the best way to make a difference. The CP is kind of weird, and requires a lot of shaping. It's from 32:32 grid.


As a mentioned, there is a lot of shaping. However, you should manage to have a model something like this:
