Description I've been asked to submit a tutorial of my wyvern model , so here it is. Enjoy it!

This is my first time making a tutorial, so if anything seems a bit difficult to understand, send me a note and I will do my best to explain it with better clarity.

This is also the only model I ever designed by myself, so please give credit if used. Thanks.

Fun Fact: As many of you have probably realized, this model is based off of the "Flapping Crane" model. This model can actually flap it's wings as well, but I wouldn't recommend you to try it. Because of the way it is folded, the flapping mechanics are not as smooth, and unless you're really careful, the model might rip if you pull the tail to hard. However, if you do manage to loosen it out after a few pulls, it should flap it's wings just as effectively as the crane.

I have looked at all the steps and everything seems well explained and easy to follow.

The only part where you might lose some more inexperienced folders is how to get the 1/8 line without needing to measure.

"Fold one corner on the side straight down to the halfway line and make a small pinch to get the 1/4 mark and once more to the new mark will give the 1/8"
... Or something like that, would help.

I would say that this tutorial is excellent overall.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you think it turned out well
I guess you're right about that one step, maybe I'll edit it later or put it in the artists comments or something.
