Description Designed and folded by me. Folded from one uncut square of paper of unknown origin O_o Designed from April to early June 2010.

Pretty happy with how this turned out, though I think the proportions may be a little off but whatever :/

Is there a classification difference between the "normal origami" (like a boat or a crane), which takes only simple folds, and the "OMG origami" (like this one) which takes several twists, bending, almost 'sculpting'?

Boats and cranes tend to be considered 'traditional origami.' Aside from that, the term origami encompasses both.

Oh, I see... I thought they were distinct techniques.
Thanks for the information and congratulations for your works, amazing stuff!

They aren't so much distinct techniques as they both employ and use similar or identical folding maneuvers albeit one in more complex and intricate ways.

Think of it like drawing some well known design, a peace sign for example, and then comparing it with a highly detailed graphite portrait. While both are done from the same medium, one is significantly more complex and intricate than the other. This is of course not to say that one is necessarily more beautiful than the other; that is more dependent on the skill of the artist.

Ah, I would, but it wouldn't make much a difference.

I'd been wondering what you had been up too. Been very quiet on the Origami front in my watch list.
Nice Mantis!
