How To: Make a 3D origami alien/monster for beginners

Is it just us, or does this ferocious alien/monster strangely resemble a cute, chubby wubby penguin? Whatever you decide this animal is, all we want to do is tickle its copious belly. Maybe this project would look like the alien it's meant to be if you drew ferocious eyes on it?

Either way, this origami tutorial is great for learning how to make a realistic standing animal from paper. Whether you deem it a penguin, alien, or monster, this project has a professional finish, though it's doable by even origami beginners.
