This three-headed dragon was designed by Nguyen Nam Son on Flickr and made using tissue foil paper, painted one side with acrylic colour. It’s made from a single sheet of paper measuring: 64cm x 64cm. A cp of the design can be found in the VOG (Vietnam Origami Group) Book 2. It’s really amazing how the origami artist managed to get all those heads out of one piece of paper! And it looks very lifelike.
A tutorial for a 3-headed dragon can also be found on YouTube.

It seems that these two tiny dragons, Flame Dragon by Folded Wilderness on Deviantart and Are You Afraid of Dragons by Gonzalo on Flickr are both based on the same design (which can be found here). Both are folded from single sheets of paper, I believe 10″ square and 8″ square respectively. The top image has been adjusted in photoshop by the artist to create added drama. The lower (and smaller) dragon is folded out of newspaper.

7. Zoanoid Dragon Ver.2
