Chobi Chocobo

I decided that this is enough for a finished version. There are over 600 jpg images used for this animation. The origami birds are based off of Satoshi Kamiya's Yellow Bird, which is believed to be a representation of the chocobo from Final Fantasy VII. There are a few minor adjustments I made in these from the original chocobo diagrams.

I did fold these myself. It was something to keep my hands busy while watching TV. These aren't even all of the chocobo that I had at the time. They're just the ones that I had a friend place on the canvas while I took pictures. If you want to ask for directions or help on folding one, that's fine, but with the adjustments I've made to the ones I do, I may not be much help without uploading pictures that show each step.

A lot of people have been asking me for advice on how to make these. I have a slightly different way of making them than the original diagrams show, but people are still interested in spite of that disclaimer. I've been busy going from place to place, but I will try to get a video or two uploaded in the future. It takes more than 10 minutes to make one, so it will probably be two.
