There’s origami and there’s origami by Eric Joisel, which is at a another level entirely.
From Wikipedia:
Wet-folding is an origami technique developed by Akira Yoshizawa that employs water to dampen the paper so that it can be manipulated more easily. This process adds an element of sculpture to origami, which is otherwise purely geometric. Wet-folding is used very often by professional folders for non-geometric origami, such as animals. Wet-folders usually employ thicker paper than would usually be used for normal origami, to ensure that the paper does not tear.

There’s a slideshow of Joisel and some of his creations at the 2007 British Origami Society Convention Flickr.

There are also some videos showing how to fold some of his simpler stuff of YouTube:
