The same figure from a side view. Its arms are stretched out like a zombie, but the tips hang down, as if the end of the arms of the cloak were empty.

I folded another Origami figure. It's the Grim Reaper, but in his leisure outfit — the purple cloak. 😅
I don't have black paper. It would look great in black. Or white as a more generic ghost.
I think the final figure looks pretty awesome. It has a nice 3D look to it and it wasn't all that hard to fold. Not easy enough that I could do it again without instructions, but there were no hiccups while I was folding along with the video. 😊

Edit: I hope I didn't mislead anybody, but this is not an original design. The author is Aníbal Voyer and I only followed folding instructions from a YouTube video. 😬
Sorry for not crediting the original artist right away. I just wanted to show off a cute Origami figure I folded and did not expect this post to blow up as it did. 😅
I promise I'll give credit where credit is due the next time I share something.

@irgndsondepp Perhaps a shout out acknowledgement of the original creator if it is not yourself?

@doofur Thanks for pointing it out. Somebody else recognized the design immediately and pointed it out as well.
I did not mean to mislead anybody and I think I made it clear that I just followed along with a folding video, but I agree that I should have mentioned the author. I'll do better next time. 🙂

@irgndsondepp In today's world it is even more important to acknowledge human creativity. Well done. As a side note, some challenging origami stuff by the author below. (Apologies for the state of the pig, I followed the instructions more than 20 years ago and it's been on a shelf. The foil has corroded ;) Take care and continue folding.
