Swipe to the right to see the photorealistic and full body versions of Johannes and IRL clothing items that inspired his outfit. - I had a few people ask me how I made the realistic versions of my OCs; they’re made by “Frankenstein-ing” various photos of faces and clothing via SKETCHBOOK or PHOTOSHOP - then using apps like FACEAPP and PREQUEL to clean things up. So my method isn’t quite 100% using AI - it’s a lot of work by me stitching, painting, and composting the character and then using AI and various apps to enhance and clean up for the final image (in other words, it’s still a lot of work by me the human). - As for this guy, he’s all dressed up for his other day job as a Substitute University Professor. Normally Johannes wears scrubs and crocs or wrinkled collared shirts, khaki pants, and loafers whenever he’s working at the hospital as Surgical Oncologist for simplicity and practicality (he also prefers to wear minimal amount of clothing for comfort); but when he first started teaching, students had called him a “Slob” when he showed up in his usual attire with a white lab coat on top. Johannes takes offense being called a Slob when he’s known for his impeccable attention to detail and clean, efficient methods on the operating table; ever since whenever he’s subbing for his colleague Vinnie, Johannes puts a lot of effort into his outfits. Johannes also isn’t afraid to wear clothing that would be considered feminine - his philosophy regarding clothes is “As long as it looks good, has function, and is comfortable, it doesn’t matter if it’s for a man or woman” (also as a Grim Reaper he often wears attire that plays with gender identity because the concept and role of Death is universal and is gender neutral). - #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #prequelapp #prequel #moldiv #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #malecharacter #man #artwork #originalart #originalartwork #artoninstagram #artofinstagram #pink #blue #blond #photorealism #photorealistic #fashion #clothes #clothing #floral #stripes

Johannes and his father Richard who’s supposed to be “dead” in his role as Death Himself. 💀 Four years after Sigrid’s death, Richard’s body began rapidly losing its ability to retain its mortal human form, a sign from Fate Herself that he was needed back in the Underworld indefinitely. Richard knew that he had to contact his older brother Heinrich to pick up his son Johannes while he still could. He gave his son one last pat and kiss on the head as a human, not knowing when he would ever be able to do so again. Johannes was confused and scared when he woke up with his uncle and his family, wondering where his father had gone. For years, Johannes had believed that his father had died from a lung infection due to disease, but as he got older, he started to suspect that there was more to the story. When Heinrich died, Johannes briefly saw his father again as Death, and he finally learned the truth about Richard’s identity. Johannes was bitter about how his father had left him and was not proud of the infamous legacy that Richard had left behind. Richard was Europe’s most powerful Reaper, but he was also known for being a Playboy and for marrying Sigrid, a Wicca girl who was less than half his age. Death still occasionally returned to his human form when summoned by a direct descendant of the Kasper Family or when he was sent by Fate to assist Reapers in fighting God-Class Monsters. Whenever he was in human form as Richard, Death tried his best to make amends with his son. However, Johannes still struggled to come to terms with the fact that his father was Death and that he had left him behind. - #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #prequelapp #prequel #motionleap #moldiv #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #malecharacter #man #men #fatherandson #vhsaesthetic #1980saesthetic #artwork #originalart #originalartwork #artoninstagram #artworkoninstagram #pink #blue #blond

Back to the 1980s with Sigrid and Richard… As their relationship deepened, Richard found himself becoming more and more devoted to Sigrid, especially knowing that her life curse would prevent them from being together for long. He hoped to ease her heartbreak from her failed attempt of romance with her childhood crush Batty, and showered her with all the love and affection he could muster. Sigrid was taken aback by the intensity of his affection at first, but soon found herself craving it whenever Richard had to depart for work or his responsibilities as Death. The enchantress academy strictly forbade students from dating until after they graduate at around the age of 21, forcing Sigrid and Richard to keep their love a secret in public, minimizing their physical touch and conversations. But once they found themselves alone, they couldn't help but steal kisses and whisper declarations of their undying love to each other. The fear of being caught only added to the thrill of their secret love affair, making every stolen moment together all the more precious. - #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #prequelapp #prequel #motionleap #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #femalecharacter #malecharacter #couple #man #girl #woman #kiss #flowers #hydrangeas #red #blue #yellow #green #vhsaesthetic #1980saesthetic #artoninstagram

Hard to say which of the two are more elusive, Freyja or Hr. Dr. Kasper. Both are Type A career-driven people from distinct bloodlines within the Occult Community - Freyja’s being directly descended from Viking royalty while Johannes comes from a family viewed as scheming and evil due to historical associations (i.e. Witch Hunts, Bodysnatching, Holocaust, Etc.) and having close ties with Death Himself (he’s actually the son of Death and a Wicca girl whom herself has an interesting background amongst the Occult Community as the disowned daughter of Denmark’s strongest Warlock). At the hospital or university, not many people know Hr. Dr. Kasper’s wife, who she is, or even if he’s married despite having a son (people can have kids without marriage or even permanent partners with adoption and surrogacy being a thing these days). As for Freyja, she keeps her private life out of the spotlight as much as possible in addition with her husband and son having pseudonyms under the Ström Family name (Jonah-Fritz and Magnus respectively; Freyja’s pseudonym is Freida when referring herself as a Kasper). Thus it’s a shock for many to see the pair together, especially with their respective backgrounds and unique appearances (Freyja’s known for her effortless elegance, high class, gentle demeanor, and natural beauty versus Johannes’ no-nonsense blunt talk, awkward social etiquette, excessive height, and intimidating glare - especially with Heterochromia); adding Cedrick in between makes everything fall into place since he’s a good balance of both parents’ personalities, though it’s still up in the air which family he takes after the most. #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #femalecharacter #malecharacter #man #grimreaper #woman #couple #moldiv #prequel #vhsaesthetic #souls #fashion #suit #dress #scythe #glasses #redhair #redhead #blond #artistoninstagram #artoninstagram

Reposted as a Reel - Post version available @fryj_kspr Freyja’s magazine issue for April (“The Spring Issue”). Last slide was the inspiration for the color scheme (Japanese magazine cover circa 1960s). - Original Commentary: I didn’t feel like writing much German this time - it’s been really hurting my brain lately after being abused by “splitting double verbs” in my last several Duolingo lessons (the verb “Anfangen” is an example - “das Spiel fängt in fünf Minuten an”, but then it’s “das Spiel muss in fünf Minuten anfangen” - ARGH!😫). I’ve also been dabbling with French again to see if I still remember from High School, but the listening exercises remind me how much it drove me crazy (pick your “poison” carefully - it could actually be “poisson” which sounds exactly the same in French!☠️). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #artwork #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #prequel #prequelapp #originalcharacter #femalecharacter #woman #blackdress #gown #lace #fashion #magazine #magazinecover #graphicdesign #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artoninstagram #pink #black #redhair #redhead #graphicdesign #typography

Johannes 🆚 Cedrick (2000s Fashion versus 2020s Fashion) As a teenager, Johannes quickly transitioned from looking like a Backstreet Boy into an Emo/Goth Boy. He even tried dying his hair black many times only to have it end up grey or green (he has platinum blond hair). Because of this awkward phase and drastic change of appearance, Johannes doesn’t like sharing photos of his mid-late teen years (but his son Cedrick has been finding them and is eager to show them). Cedrick’s look has always had a bit of an Emo/Goth look mixed with Decora/Kawaii - his original design had an Emo Cut!😳 But over the years, he’s gotten younger (he’s 14-15 instead of 21) and trying on various trends (lately he’s liking the K-Pop look, and he’s had a Bowl Cut for over 5 years). — #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #character #characterart #teen #boy #teenboy #fashion #2000s #2020s #emo #goth #2000sfashion #artofinstagram #artoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram

Another #sketchdump with more OC Notes… Still feeling tired, had family visiting over, and my Drawing ✍🏻 still hurts, so not sure if and when I’ll post anything new for a while… Short Comics, Sketch Dumps, and OC Notes are easier to make than full-out Pics and Reels, but everywhere is becoming so demanding and competitive for content that it’s literally burning me out mentally, physically, and emotionally (seriously - people can’t believe how much I’ve made since 2016 and barely have Likes, lol). I’ll try to make some kind of a Poll on my InstaStory to find out which OCs my IG Followers want to have more Notes on. #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #character #characterart #death #grimreaper #witch #wicca #notes #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #artoninstagram

Oh Cedrick… You’re in so much trouble…😅 (it’s actually posted on @wunderkindck) Tricia, on the other hand, is enjoying how embarrassed her substitute professor is from Cedrick’s IG post. But she’s also curious about the past century’s tech, music, and fashion so she often asks about stuff he, her uncle Tyrone, and aunt Asia used back then. - Being a Millennial born sometime in the 1980s, Hr. Dr. Kasper’s been really hit hard with the latest retro (especially Y2K) trends going on - he was his son Cedrick’s age around at that time (14 - 16 years old). And he’s a bit sensitive showing off his past self, but apparently Cedrick thinks it’s funny and cool at the same time that he wore all that stuff (many Millennials like myself aren’t enthusiastic about the Y2K fashion - I grew up with it and not entirely liking it entirely at the time because I got dress-coded so much at school wearing cropped tops and low-rise jeans are actually awful to wear - they really hurt your hips!). #comics #comic #art #drawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #originalart #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #malecharacter #femalecharacter #y2k #jncojeans #jnco

OC Tricia Williams with a selfie and boba tea. 🧋 Seeing some current Y2K fashion trends made me want to draw this quick pic (makes sense since she’s Gen Z who’s obsessed with anything dating between 198X-200X right now [Cedrick would actually be Gen Alpha, considering my OCs were originally supposed to be set in the 2030s]). I have a quick skit in mind with her teasing her substitute professor wearing JNCO Jeans and other Y2K stuff in his younger years (Hr. Dr. Kasper was his son Cedrick’s age in the late 1990s-2000s), but I haven’t gotten a chance to draw it yet - I’m still stuck in the 1980s with all the amazing fashion trends they had (90s and 2000s are a bit too close for me considering that was my entire childhood experience). #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #art #drawing #originalart #originalcharacter #teenager #girl #africanamerican #afro #afropuffs #black #pink #yellow #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #artoninstagram #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #boba #bobatea #y2k #y2kfashion #y2kaesthetic #2000s #2000saesthetics #2000sfashion

1980s look in blue, pink, & deathly green. (it’s like Aurora - can’t choose which color) - Sigrid’s coloring looks best with blue, but her favorite color is pink; Death is often associated with the color green as in something rotten and toxic (it’s also the color I often use for the Kaspers because of their association with Death as Grim Reapers). Sigrid is a Witch (Wicca class), which is why her green look has a hat (during spell demonstrations Witches wear their hats to distinguish themselves apart from observers). Death does normally wears a black robe as a Deity, but in his incarnated Human form he tries his best to dress up for every occasion he spends with and observing Sigrid (he’s waiting for her Life Curse to take effect within 2 - 5 years so he can take her soul, but being Human has made him susceptible to developing feelings of love - thus making it more difficult to focus on his task). - #art #drawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #originalart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #death #grimreaper #witch #wicca #1980s #1980sfashion #gown #dress #suit #tuxedo #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artoninstagram #blue #pink #green #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk

Went a little bit crazy drawing clothes on OCs again, this time with all 4 Kasper Grim Reapers together in normal human form. Our main 3 Kaspers (Cedrick, Johannes, & Richard) are what many in the western world traditionally think of Grim Reapers wielding scythes and have skeletal forms (Heinrich was a Grim Reaper before giving up his title and role as heir of the Kasper Family; he briefly reprised his duty as one while raising Johannes when Richard had to return to his true identity as Death indefinitely). Hansel is a special case - normally a Kasper has to have “Odin’s Eye” to become a Reaper (Heterochromia with the ability to see everything living and dead as well as vitals simultaneously), but through his mother’s side Hansel is distantly descended from a line of Jeoseung Saja (Korean Grim Reapers) and deals with souls in a different manner via talismans and chants (Hansel is Japanese/Korean and German/Danish). Richard is drawn much older here (80-85 years old) due to him adjusting his “human age” had he still remained “alive” whenever he’s briefly summoned back to the living world; the youngest age he can return as human is when he “died”, which happens to be about the same as his son Johannes’ current physical age (it’s similar for Sigrid’s soul if transformed into a Genganger - she can only be physically the age when she died). As members of the occult community, the Kaspers can live for centuries using inherited magic. Richard is actually a “Entity” or “Deity” as Death Himself and has been in existence for over 300,000 years; it’s heavily hinted that Johannes and Cedrick are also Entities since they’re directly descended from Death and their physical appearances change whether they take up the task as Grim Reaper, but it’s unknown whether they have to permanently change and give up being human if they’re called to the Underworld. - #art #drawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalart #malecharacter #man #men #boy #people #human #skull #skulls #grimreaper #family #suit #glasses #clothing #fashion #prequel #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #animestyle

Sigrid’s love interests: Sebastian “Batty” Sorensen & Richard “Dickie” Kasper - Batty was a very stoic guy who showed little affection yet all the girls in the neighborhood adored him for his dark hair and striking sapphire-blue eyes. Batty also joined the police academy soon after graduating High School and returned home as a rookie cop, putting an uniform on top of his good looks. Sigrid had been in love with him since they first met as children at his father’s arcade, but Batty rejected her confession in favor for another schoolmate at her academy (as the neighborhood’s beau he thought should date the most beautiful girl around). He also knew of her shortened lifespan due to her father’s curse, adding to his view of Sigrid “as a waste of his time”. After Richard first appeared helping out at Sigrid’s mother’s flower shop, Batty started feeling suspicious and jealous mainly because he was spending a lot of time with Sigrid and taking her attention away (Batty also didn’t like the fact Richard was a foreigner, much older, and comes from an occult family notorious for partaking in history’s unfortunate events). As Sigrid and Richard’s relationship blossomed, Batty’s own romance was quickly crumbling apart - adding to his disgust towards the man he sees as his rival (his engagement was broken, he was expecting twins with his ex-fiancée, and he was being sent to another city’s police department away from his immediate family). It wasn’t until after news of Sigrid’s death he regretted not reciprocating her love and wondered how different his life would’ve been if he had dated and married her instead (it’s why Batty has complicated feelings whenever Johannes visits Copenhagen - he pities him not growing up knowing his mother Sigrid but also detests him since he physically takes after his father Richard). - #art #drawing #digitalart #digtaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #malecharacter #man #men #datingsim #clothes #1980s #vhsaesthetic #animestyle #prequel #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk

Wicca’s Notes (Similar to “Wunderkind’s Notes”, but it’s Sigrid instead of Cedrick): Activation Potions 🧪 All Witches once had to use Potions to cast spells, until one day about 1,000 years ago a new mutation allowed many to be able to tap into their “Magical Potential” (MP) directly to cast spells; because of this mutation, it divided Witches into 2 classes: Wicca (the original Witch) and Enchantress (the new Witch). Since Enchantresses can easily hide their magical abilities from Non-magical Humans, Wicca had been persecuted and killed nearly to the point of extinction over many centuries; Enchantresses also over time began to associate less with Wicca and deemed them “inferior” despite heavily relying on them to make Potions on their behalf (most Enchantresses have no knowledge of potion making unless they were taught via academy). Wicca have slightly longer lifespans than Enchantresses, perhaps because they don’t directly have access to their MP (Witches on average live up to 500 years, but can extend it via Life Potion - a difficult recipe obtained by Nature/Life Herself; a Warlock (Male Witch) can live up to 200 years unless he extends it via Life Curse - a pact with Death Himself promising a soul of someone precious). Sigrid is a “Baby Witch” being only 15-17 years old (compared to her distant cousin Kiya who looks 16 but was born in the 1940s), but she has been studying and practicing to prove herself just as powerful as any Enchantress at the academy (she also has an extremely high amount of MP due to a random mutation). But this requires drinking a lot of Activation Potions, which often get stolen and shattered by bullying classmates (leading to the creation of concentrated potion capsules she could easily swallow). - #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #originalcharacter #femalecharacter #witch #wicca #potions #notes #artistsoninstagram #comic #webcomic

Sigrid performing an illumination spell for all to see. (post version with a Prequel filter) - Every 3 months the Enchantress Academy holds a debutante ball for the students to showcase their spell casting skills to their family members and invited guests. Sigrid usually has the most difficult time attracting viewers because she’s often immediately seen as weak and disregarded as the school’s only Wicca unable to cast spells without the use of Activation Potions. To make up for appearances, Sigrid sews her own gowns, studies complex spells, and tries making concentrated Activation Potions to allow her to maximize her “Magical Potential” (her boyfriend Richard eventually made potion pills easy to swallow and instantly tap into her stored stamina). #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #drawing #originalcharacter #femalecharacter #animestyle #artistsoninstagram #prequel #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #witch #wicca #1980s #80sfashion #80s #gown #dress #hat #magic #sparkle #magicalgirl

#sketchdump featuring Sigrid’s younger half-brother Torben & their father Samuel. Torben physically takes after his mother (blond hair & brown eyes), but has a similar sweet demeanor like his older sibling. He’s extremely attached to Sigrid, making him protective towards his classmates at the boys academy (many of them have crushes on her). He personally didn’t like Sigrid’s childhood crush Batty due to his overall cold behavior - especially towards Sigrid and children in general. On the other hand, Torben was more than happy meeting Richard seeing how well he treats Sigrid and would return lost balls & toys back to the neighborhood kids; he also thinks Grim Reapers are more interesting than Warlocks because they not only can use teleportation spells but also weapons to fight monsters & collect lost souls. Samuel is Denmark’s strongest Warlock; he appears to be a man in his 50s, but is over 200 years old & extends his lifespan through life curses, placing him under Death’s watchlist. Being a proud man, he cursed Sigrid mainly because she wasn’t born a son or even an Enchantress, but also because his daughter was born with a mutation that gave her so much more “Magical Potential” than any European Warlock on record. Because he cursed their daughter, Aina changed her name and left with Sigrid to set up her flower & oddities shop. Samuel soon remarried to the Enchantress headmistress Sarah, having Torben a few years later; because Sarah still wanted a daughter, he tolerated her request to allow Sigrid to attend her academy until the life curse takes effect. Samuel is suspicious of Richard not collecting Sigrid’s soul as her assigned Grim Reaper, but also because he’s the talk of Europe since becoming the new heir of the Kasper bloodline and is Europe’s most powerful man in the occult community; he hopes that there’s no romance between Richard & Sigrid in fear that any child born would replace him (it’s the reason why Sigrid’s death was set before her 20th birthday - making her so young to have a relationship). #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #drawing #drawings #frauv8_ocs #artistsoninstagram #characterart
