Description
Crease pattern for the spirit of chaos, Discord.Discord's base is built on a 16x16 grid. Originally, I had planned for flaps (head, tail, 4 appendages, and 2 wings) but the proportions didn't work out. Instead, I pulled the wings from a inner section of the paper, as they didn't need to be too large, which allowed for more paper to be allocated towards the tail and the head (a requirement for his long neck). Successfully collapsing this base is just the easy part...
A note: a 16x16 grid is actually still too wide for discord; I recommend some body slimming folds during shaping.
Some reference pics:
The crease pattern, labeled: [link]
The collapsed base: [link] (the creases at the head are there, but not folded. As some parts of the head exists as only one layer of paper, it is delicate and finished last). Also, the crease pattern as drawn is not quite flat foldable; the creases around the wings may need to be settled.
I apologize for not being able to provide instructions for this piece; collapsing the base is a huge step that can't be broken down into smaller steps.

Sorry, what you see above is all the info have. =/
There's little I could add to collapsing the crease pattern, and the detailing was done to taste ("this fold looks like it goes about there..."). The crease pattern above is the only thing I work from too.

make it step by step, taking a picture after you complete each step, because frankly this is useless to anyone who isn't already an expert.

I agree with this. Do it step by step with a photo at each crease and fold. Or if anything, film it and make it into a tutorial. I'd love to be able to make this by I'm by no means an expert at origami and need guidance with new designs.

I've just folded it into the "collapsed" stage. If you want, I can upload a colour coded image indicating which are "mountain" or "valley" folds, as well as some different camera angles? There isn't really a way to show it step by step, because the only way to collapse it is to have pre-folded each line.
