The proportions are not quite right, but this is supposed to be a hydralisk:
Instructions
-
Take a square sheet of paper and fold it along all four symmetry axes. I recommend to fold the diagonals in both directions.
-
Put the edges of the sheet on top of the diagonals (all eight possibilities) and crease the paper from the corner till the middle axis:
-
Use the folds just made to shape the paper as shown:
It is a form with four tips. -
Choose two opposing tips and fold them outward as shown
(reverse fold):
When viewed from above, the shown right angle should appear:
Because such a reverse fold changes the direction of the diagonal fold, it made sense to crease the diagonals in both directions. -
Take one of the other two tips and fold it backwards with a reverse fold, as shown:
The two lines marked in red in the following image should come to lie on top of each other:
-
Now we make the head. Fold the last remaining tip along the red lines:
Important: Crease only the outside layer. The layer on the other side remains uncreased, so that it bulges:
-
Strengthen the creases a little:
-
Fold the front of the head backward:
-
... and fold a part of it forward:
-
... and fold a part of that again forward/downward:
-
On the backside there is a corner (the midpoint of the paper). Pinch it sideways and fold it to one side, so that the neck stays in shape:
-
At the
shoulders
, fold backwards as shown, so that the head stays up:
-
Fold the arms forward:
You cannot see it here, but these are reverse folds. In the next image you can see it better; there the creases made in this step are highlighted again in green. -
Fold the arms upward at a right angle using a valley fold (single red line), so that the rest of the arm is aligned vertically, and turn
the arms' tips downward using an outside reverse fold (red line pair):
-
To stabilize the arms, fold over their fronts upward:
Done!
