Origami Cthulhu

Description

Of the six men who never reached the ship, he thinks two perished of pure fright in that accursed instant. The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled. God! What wonder that across the earth a great architect went mad, and poor Wilcox raved with fever in that telepathic instant? The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. The stars were right again, and what an age-old cult had failed to do by design, a band of innocent sailors had done by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight.
-H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu (fragment)


Designed by myself.

I think this is the most challenging model I have done so far. I spent a year and a half in this one...

Folded from an 19x19 in tissue-foil uncut square. First I tried to make it with a water-bomb base but I couldn't get enough tentacles so I made a new version beginning with a modified water-bomb base so I could use a larger area of the paper just for the head.

I better quit origami now, surely I wont make anything better than this...

Thanks to Ruben Romero for taking and editing the picture.

This is amazing. I have about a dozen friends who would love one of these as a christmas ornament for their tree. Is it possible to see the crease pattern anywhere?
