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).

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.

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!).

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).

A more colorful version of one of my latest drawings…
Couldn’t help making it with this song by @izzy.perri ...
I don’t think I can make it more 1980s than this...

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).

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.

Death Himself
💀
Artist Notes 🗒️:
• Death’s Incarnation’s Full Name:
Richard Gottfried Kasper
I gave my version of Death the first name “Richard” which means “strong king” or “brave ruler” - referring to his role as the ultimate ruler of all souls when it’s time to collect them.
His older brother Heinrich gave him the name Richard when their parents were too upset having a second son and learning he was Death given a chance to be temporarily human (this lead to their mother eloping with an American soldier and having the daughter she desired, and Richard was treated harshly by their father in response - thus making him retaliate by attracting attention being a cruel Grim Reaper and heartbreaking playboy); the two brothers were close despite their opposite personalities and age gap.
His middle name is a Germanic version of “Geoffrey” / “Jeffery” meaning “peace of God”, which again points to his role as Death (he prefers people live a full life before putting them to rest but isn’t afraid to snatch up a few extra souls if they’re easy pickings).
[and yes… people had pointed out his resemblance to a certain Jeff when he wears glasses… 😑 But his appearance is actually based off of Mr. Death in “The Twilight Zone” episode “Nothing in the Dark” portrayed by Robert Redford]
His last name “Kasper” is a Germanic/Scandinavian version of “Jasper” derived from a Hebrew word meaning “treasurer” - also alluding to his family’s role of collecting souls (also it’s a variation of the name “Casper” which most associate with the fictional ghost).
The Kasper Family is also based in Kiel which is located on Jutland that has been part of Denmark for many centuries, meaning they’re actually ethnically Danish not German (Jutland is currently split between Denmark & Germany, and their hometown is now part of Germany which is why they’re listed as “German” on their character sheets).

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).

Character Sheet:
Tyrone’s grandmother Louella Williams
-
Both Tricia and Queenie inherited their great-grandmother’s sass and ability to see the occult world, but not her magical powers (Tyrone has no magical abilities or knowledge of the occult community being raised by an aunt and uncle in an upscale neighborhood away from his immediate family); only recently Grammy has been visiting more often since Tricia’s mother’s death and Queenie first started seeing “beyond the veil”.
Tyrone avoids talking about her, often calling her “unhinged”, but both Hr. Dr. Kasper and Cedrick are quite curious about her since they want to learn more about her magical culture for scholarly purposes (they also have Oma Aina whom many ostracize because of her albinism, knowledge of potions, and allowing her daughter Sigrid marry a Kasper).
Like Asia, Grammy doesn’t like Hr. Dr. Kasper - but for different reasons:
Death had attempted to claim her soul in her sleep once (“a brush with Death”) and still remembers seeing his odd-colored eyes leering as she fought him off with her cane; after seeing that her grandson’s friend and coworker has the same odd-eyes, Grammy has always referred Johannes as “that blond pretty boy who almost killed me” (she also doesn’t like Cedrick being around Tricia, often chasing him away whenever she sees him in fear he’ll try to take her soul like Death did).

LADY IN RED
"I’ll never forget… The way you look tonight."
(Post Version)
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! ❤️
The art style is inspired by René Gruau fashion pics I stumbled across via Pinterest.
It’s another 1980s OC pic with Richard/Death and Sigrid at another debutante ball with onlooking schoolmates.
And what other classic song from the 1980s could be better than “The Lady in Red” for Valentine’s Day?
-
Valentine’s Day was the first day Sigrid met Richard at her mother’s flower shop, soon after her heart was shattered by her childhood crush Batty when he turned down her confession and started dating an older girl close to graduating from her academy.
Initially they had a rough start - Sigrid took out her frustrations on Richard and wasn’t enamored about his reputation (he’s a member of Europe’s most notorious occult family known for their association with dark moments of history, he has a past as a heartbreaking playboy, and was more than twice her age); Richard was smitten at first glance, but kept his true feelings to a minimum to avoid trouble with Batty (who’s a rookie cop) and the academy (students are prohibited from dating until they graduate at age 21; Sigrid was only in her 2nd year at 15-16 years old, and her life curse won’t allow her to live to adulthood).
It was finally after about a year of observation when Richard suffered Lovesickness and Sigrid realized her true feelings for him, leading to an unexpected night together and making their relationship official.
Another year will pass before their romance is discovered, forcing Sigrid to drop out of school and a hasty engagement/wedding to avoid further scandal.

More character sheets from my iPad, another comparison between 1970s, 1980s, and 2020s clothing with Johannes and his parents Sigrid and Richard.
Sometimes I just feel like drawing my OCs in clothes like they’re dolls, and clothes from recent past decades have been on trend.

Some more old stuff of Richard and Sigrid that were originally posted as Instastories and/or TikToks in the last few months…
-
I’m just taking my time resting and tinkering with ideas…
Cactus Cat will continue with a few more pages, but it’s not quite a good story…
I’m still figuring out what mythical creature or occult concept to feature regarding my OCs - perhaps another sheet explaining the difference between the two types of Witches, how Tricia is able to see ghosts/spirits, or a character sheet featuring more background OCs such as Freyja’s mother Sonja or Tyrone’s grandma Louella.
Idk… All I know is that I’m feeling tired…
