Hopping on the tail end of #PortfolioDay too. Hi! I'm Pete! I fold paper into things! 😁

This is a test. Does Twitter still like little paper pterosaurs? 🤔

Ok. I lied. Insomnia is hitting me hard, it's almost 3AM on the 31st and I and I have just found this one last origami dragon to post to celebrate #smaugust. It's a really silly simple one, but it's the very roots of how these other previously seen dragon started out:

Simple bird base dragons for the last day of #smaugust. Even though it's not the last day of August, I have no more #origami #dragons to share with you now. It has been really fun and I'd like to thank everyone who got some enjoyment out if my work. You make this worth doing. 💙

With August swiftly coming to an end, here is my second to last #Smaugust post. This time just some drafts of an origami dragon head.

Late #smaugust post, I've been super busy lately. 😣 This is still a draft, experimenting with a dragon that has texture on the neck, torso and tail.

This is a 2nd version of the previous dragon with many more updates. The base structure is still mostly the same, but I've added a lot of new surface details. A completely new head, a set of tail scutes and 4 toes per foot here instead of the original 3. #smaugust #Origami

I really enjoy the red and green color scheme, I don't know why. Green body with red wings reads "dragon" to me. #Origami #Smaugust

This #origami #wyvern was the predecessor of the western dragon I posted yesterday. I've kept the outward style as similar as I could to hint at the fact that both are the result of a similar line of thought. They were exercises in grafting on a bird base. #smaugust

Still continuing with #Smaugust. I've been really itching to post this one, even though it's a few years old at this point. I think it's still my favorite #Origami #Dragon I've made. One square of paper green on one side, red on the other, following the 'one sheet no cuts' rule.

A completely different take on a dragon from a traditional bird base. The basic flap layout is the same, but beyond that I tried to get as far away from my original approach as possible, to create a completely different outward shape. #Smaugust #Origami

A more complex variation of my bird base dragon. The paper (70 cm Kraft) was barely up to the task, it almost shred when I was trying to add the toes. #smaugust #origami

Going even simpler with the dragon for today. This one was made from a traditional bird base. #origami #Smaugust

Here is a simplified version of the previous dragons, without grafts for lengthening the wings and adding claws to the base structure. This allowed me to use smaller and stiffer sheet of paper (30 cm TANT) to try and get a more fun pose out of the model. #Smaugust #Origami

Upon finishing the previous dragon, I decided to fold one from the largest piece of paper I had access to at the time, a 100 cm square of Kraft paper, just to see how big the resulting dragon would be. And the answer is? It's huge. 🤣 #origami #Smaugust

This dragon is from a 70 cm square of Kraft paper. Out of all the experiments I've tried so far, this head shaping feels like the most successful. #smaugust #origami

Kuehneosaurus and Icarosaurus. It's #FossilFriday and #WorldLizardDay! Here are some of my favourite (extinct, gliding) lizard models I've made over the years. I adore these animals. They also fit my current #Smaugust theme. The brown one is a blast from the past, made in 2009.

Day #3 of #smaugust for me. Posed this one on my copy of Origami Design Secrets by Robert J. Lang. Highly recommend this book to anyone who's ready to take a deep dive into the inner workings of origami.

Still continuing with #smaugust. 😅 I love folding dragons. Them being fictional is an open door to imagination and creativity. A dragon can look basically any way you want. That's my favorite thing about dragons. This is one of my earlier experiments:

I have seen a few #smaugust posts on Twitter over the past few days. I think that's a lot of fun. Allow me to share some of my favorite origami dragons I've designed over the past few years. #smaugust2020

That moment when everyone is having fun with #mermay and this is the only vaguely mermaid-adjacent thing I have ever made. 😭 It's a goat mermaid, ok? Goats deserve to have mermaids too. 🤣
