Comment on rainbow ray by Vincent-Covielloart
Oh it looks wonderful! 
thank you! not as "ugly" as my usual designs but here it is!
Your designs aren't ugly! just otherworldly and that I think is their positive aspect! This one looks peculiar actually! I have sketched something similar a while back, but I didn't post it, I did it only to practise perspective. It was meant to be generally soft-bodied creature with three pairs of triangular fins, and I did it in a pose with fins in alternating phase, the first and third pair were in a downstroke, the second pair was in an upstroke, it had a beak and a multitude of tiny eyes

Okay! But I'll probably have to draw a cleaner version at first, what I have of this critter are a few really messy sketches
Also, I am sorry to announce this, but the harpypede is going badly, not much progress so far, I have solved the individual parts but I will yet have to find a way how to make it fit a square in a nice way. But I'm working on it, don't worry!
It maybe is that I have picked an unusual subject which I am not used to, and that causes the problems, but all problems have a solution! I just wanted to inform you how things are going on with the harpypede.

I just wanted to inform you how things are going on with the harpypede. I completely understand, I have dozens of mindless doodles unworthy of being shown just yet.
I am more than positive that you will conquer it. It is an unusual configuration to fold, but I've seen some of your work and it is only a matter of time before you figure it out. so keep on keepin on and you'll get it!!

Thanks for the suppert! Yes, I will definitely keep trying, it's something I'd definitely want to add on my list, but to clean my mind from it a little bit, I also work on other models at the same time. But I'm sure I'll get it right, and it might even be quite soon, sometimes I just need the "lightbulb moment" when something just clicks in my head the right way and ta-dah!
I got disatracted in the past few days and focused on something that's been following me from the time not so long after since I've started doing origami and that's folding a mantis shrimp. I've always been obsessed by these animals, and I've always dremt about making one that would be worth making. And right now, after 10 years of dreaming, I suddenly felt I to try it again. I have tried many times in the past but always failed, so I was sceptical this time. I went through a list of failed attempts, but once I got the abdomen right, the battle was half won. The "face" was an area of another great struggle, but then I got a prelimenary idea of what the crease pattern will look like, so I could focus on refining it. I almost never fold anything twice, so I wanted to sure I won't spot any "stupid mistake" on the finished model.
I think the biggest problem with the harpypede is that's such an unusual subject. It's way out of my comfort zone which may be causing the trouble (and which, ironically, made me active in origami again, it was the lit match that ignited it all, so I really hope I can finish it as a tribute.)
It's extremely striking and attractive subject, but it's hard to grasp. I hope I'll make a breakthrough soon, though, it's about time! It's been really troubling me that it's giving me such a hard time. Well it's good to get your feet in touch with earth I guess.
