Cephalopods are a tricky subject in Origami, this is a figurative squid by Jun Maekawa:
Having eaten and cooked squid on a number of occasions, the basic body morpholoigy is right, the yummy bits are all there.
A nice set of bilaterally symmetrical pleats, a fun collapse and a 3d re-shaping makes an entirely recognisable squiddy.
There are a bunch of Maekawa’s models that I would like to try – he/she (sorry, not sure) has an original approach to the square and the models have a unique character
I am certain that Jun Maekawa is a man.
See here, for example: http://origamicaravan.org/the-artists/jun-maekawa/
Let me take the opportunity to say thanks and congratulate you, I am amazed by what you have folded and have enjoyed watching your progress.
