Stag Beetle Origami (v.2)

Lucanus cervus, v.2.

I decided to redesign my Lucanus Cervus model to better capture the reality of the subject. The pose of this model is inspired by an etching by Albrecht Durer.

The Lucanus genus of stag beetle is very different from Dorcus.

Folded by Brian Chan, from an uncut square of Origamido paper.

"God's HIGH in Heaven, all's right with the world."

"HERB" is a parody idea I came up with last year while looking at the NERV logo. This year I decided to make it into a bunch of products, including t-shirts, stickers and mousepads.

They can be found on zazzle.com/chosetec

The Kirin is a mythical beast, so I decided to use very wispy unryu type paper, so thin you can see right through it.
