This is the first time I designed the pattern myself. When I first made the patter I had made the base 30 across instead of 28, and that turned out to be a bad idea (it wasn't stacking correctly), so I hadda take it apart and start again. I realize now that his body has too many rows, that's why he's so fat and you can't see his boots (the first three rows). Oh well, it came out better than expected. I thought his hair would be easy to do, but it wasn't! I did his hair a bunch of different ways before I settled on this style. He's made completely out of origami paper; I used blue foil origami for his eyes to give them that mako glow ^^ (you can't see it that well in the pictures). His sword is sparkly wrapping paper on a piece of cardboard (it was so hard to get the right materials for that sword! can you believe I didn't have any gray paper in my house anywhere??). I'm very proud of him, although he may not look a lot like Cloud; I'd say he's more of a super deformed Cloud. I may change his eyes in the future, but for now I'll leave him this way.
Scanned Photographs
these are pics I took with a disposible camera- not very good
Webcam Pics
Stages
I took pics of this one as I went along. This may give you a better idea as to how these models are made.
 this is the base ring of triangles; they're glued together |  this is the first row of triangles, stacked on top of the base; you can not longer see the base |  this is the second row of triangles; it's a bad pic so you can't see the first row, but it's still there |  halfway up the body |
 the completed body |  the neck line (this is just a base-you can't see it after the next row is put on) |  the completed body and head |  with hair, no add-ons yet ^^ |
Patterns
since I made this pattern myself, I decided to scan it.
