Junior Grim Reaper Cedrick Kasper and his pet Hellhound/Doberman Frl. Flicka
-
It’s a pic that’s been sitting idle for some time that finally got finished, but it might go into Archives since it’s not a pic with much thought (I do like his outfit though, so I might recycle that idea for something else).
I’ve just been really tired lately trying to readjust myself having to move around and dealing with work, and Artist Block is in effect again.

Richard Kasper with Hedy and Odin’s last litter of kittens Balder, Thor, and Loki.
Hedy was named after the actress for her dark hair, while Odin was named after the Kaspers’ “Odin’s Eye” ability expressed as Heterochromia; each of their kittens were named after Norse gods based on their looks - the orange one is Thor, the grey one is Loki, and the white one is Balder.
-
As a Grim Reaper/Death, Richard normally isn’t fond of cats having extra lives and often chasing souls away like balls of yarn; but because he’s the incarnation of Death, cats are naturally drawn to him.
Since his girlfriend Sigrid loves cats, Richard’s learned to tolerate them over time - even to the point he lets them sit on him (Hedy actually gave birth to her first litter on his lap).

Back to drawing in black and white again.
This guy looks ready to snap his fingers like Thanos with all his rings on, lol.
Besides liking them, he actually has a reason for wearing rings and bracelets (he normally can’t wear them while working at the hospital as a surgeon, but he can when he’s being a substitute professor).
Each piece of jewelry is made of certain metals and gemstones he switches out based off of what mythical being or wandering soul he encounters for extra protection.

I finally made one - it’s a pattern!💀
It’s just like the Sanrio characters origami paper I used to get for paper crafts, only with my OCs and their pet Hellhound.
I’m open to making another pattern soon, but not sure what or who…
I might do all the medical characters, mythical creatures, everything Sigrid as a schoolgirl, or even something like a Disney Princess pattern - who knows.🤷🏻♀️

Freyja Ström resembling a beating human heart.🫀
Her pearl necklace looks like as if she’s been cut, and she wields a Viking dagger in her hand.

From the Scrap Pile:
Death Himself (formerly Richard Kasper) keeping a close eye on his son Hr. Dr. Kasper.
(2nd Slide from an old pic drawn over a year ago)
Death keeps his wife Sigrid, brother Heinrich, and other beloved people’s souls over his many lifetimes nearby for company.
Death mostly stays underground communicating telepathically to Grim Reapers, but occasionally he’ll pop up above ground wearing his black robe to personally deliver case files or join in the fight for a little fun.
It took a few years for Johannes Faustuz to figure out that his father was Death all along, making him very spiteful.
Faustuz felt like he was abandoned as a child when Richard couldn’t remain “human” without losing chunks of flesh and coughing out bodily fluids - thus Richard “died” when he finally hid away and left his son with his brother Heinrich and sister-in-law Yoko.

Quick drawing of Hr. Dr. Kasper in traditional Reaper clothing.
(2nd Slide is an old post)
💀 Grim Reaper Notes 💀
As Halloween gets closer, more rogue monsters and lost souls are more abound as the boundaries between the living and dead are weakened due to the waning hours of sunlight, making it a more busy time for Reapers - often times (depending on regional holidays) Reapers may ask for extra help.
When Reapers are relocated outside their country of origin, it’s customary to wear traditional clothing to show that they aren’t native and are only allowed to work under the authority of the regional Reaper family in charge (if they’re back in Kiel where they’re from, the Kaspers wear exclusively modern Reaper clothing; occasionally they wear highly modernized versions of their traditional clothing to accommodate the hot weather in California).
The Kaspers are normally based in Germany/Scandinavia, but due to medical work they are often relocated in Southern California where another Reaper family is based.
The Rodriguez Family are often swamped during Halloween/Dia de Los Muertos, especially with their oldest daughter Granger as their current sole Reaper (Mrs. Rodriguez injured her leg after fighting a rogue jaguar spirit, while second daughter Carmen hates being a Junior Reaper under her sister, often hanging out with BFF Tricia Williams instead); because California used to be Spanish territory, it follows the logic that many countries with Latin/Romance/Slavic-based languages have female Reapers because the word “Death” is feminine and/or their Death goddesses are referred to as female.
Despite Hr. Dr. Kasper having a direct connection with Death Himself and being more experienced as a Reaper, Granger always takes the opportunity to take charge and call him “Juanito” (vaguely translates into “Cute Little Johnny” in Spanish; his first name “Johannes” is an old version of the common name “John”) whenever they work together.

Wunderkind’s Notes:
Grim Reaper☠️
-
I still haven’t featured Granger Rodriguez in a story yet, but she’s a Mexican-American Grim Reaper whose day job is a police officer stationed nearby the hospital where Hr. Dr. Kasper would normally work in Los Angeles.
She’s very territorial, so seeing a foreigner descended from Death’s top Grim Reapers in “her turf” has made her even more competitive and aggressive when collecting souls and hunting rogue creatures.
In the rare occasions the two have to work together, Granger calls Hr. Dr. Kasper “Juanito” as a sarcastic form of endearment (“Juanito” is like the Spanish version of “Johnny-boy”; his first name “Johannes” is an old Scandinavian-Germanic version of “John”).
Like Asia Williams, Granger is a big fan of Freyja Ström’s show and blogs who’s also oblivious to the fact that she’s married to Hr. Dr. Kasper.

#sketchdump into the 1980s with Sigrid and Richard.
There was a 4th sketch, but it wasn’t going to fit within IG’s square format - it’s featured in the highlight “SIGRID’S DIARY” for future reference.
• Sigrid’s School Uniform.💼
Sigrid attended an all-girls academy run by nuns, priests, and others familiar with the occult and mythical (it’s a mix of a religious high school with Hogwarts).
Her uniform is basically a collared white shirt, a red necktie, a blue sweater or blazer with her school emblem (a red shield with a white cross), a red plaid skirt, black stockings / knee socks, and a pair of oxfords; Sigrid often wore pink leg warmers and jellies sandals with her uniform to add vibrant splashes of color.
• Off to Tivoli Gardens.🎡🎠
Sigrid lived in Copenhagen where one of the world’s oldest amusement parks resides; it was also the inspiration for the first Disneyland.
Tivoli Gardens was one of their favorite places for late night dates to avoid being easily seen by anyone who didn’t approve of their relationship.
Sigrid’s favorite rides were the Ferris wheel, swings, and carousel - which also happen to be Richard’s least favorite rides (he gets motion sickness riding them).
• Human Anatomy Books.📚
Sigrid loved textbooks - especially ones with illustrations and photos - but her school didn’t have many because the principal wanted to teach the “ancient ways without modern influences”.
Since being acquainted with Richard, she had access to the local university’s library whenever he’s working there.
Sigrid favorite books were on botany, but her curiosity had gotten the best of her in regards to human male anatomy.

Another #sketchdump, this time with a minimal color scheme.

Richard is usually the creepy one since he’s a Grim Reaper, but this time Sigrid has him creeped out as she sniffs and enjoys her boyfriend’s BO (guys can smell nice too!).

Johannes Faustuz can never get a break from soul collecting because there’s always something or someone dying nearby.
Like any task, there’s times it gets so busy he can’t keep up and needs help.
Faustuz is also wearing an updated version of his father’s outfit from the 1980s.
-
Grim Reapers and Monster Hunters are becoming more rare as less people are in tune with the spiritual, mythical, and occult world.
And not all souls get collected based on what they are (ie. plant and insect souls are mostly harmless, but animal and human souls - especially those who died suddenly and violently - are extremely dangerous and prone to transforming into monsters that harm the living).
Luckily most souls like to gather together and often like to float around the closest Grim Reaper wanting to move on.
But there are creatures that like to chase or devour them (cats can be a Grim Reapers biggest annoyance because they not only had multiple lives but also chase souls as if they’re yarn balls).

Some random Richard and Hedy scribblings...
🐈⬛
Richard had taken one of Hedy’s nine lives when he mistaken her for a Tatzelwurm in Aina’s greenhouse.
Hedy took an instant liking to him despite what he had done and the fact Richard isn’t much of a cat-person - especially being a Grim Reaper and cats being known for the association with life and death.
Richard also doesn’t like dealing with Sigrid’s neighbor/teacher Mr. Vannderhassen for numerous reasons, including the fact Hedy keeps running away and staying in the greenhouse or garden; regardless of the trouble, Richard does care about Hedy even though he calls her a pest.

Death Himself - Richard’s true form.
In each hand he holds the two souls of those he loved in his past life: his wife Sigrid and brother Heinrich.
-
I guess I’m in a grim mood (in a good way) after binge watching “TRESE” on Netflix (go watch it if you’re into the supernatural - and it’s a nice slice of Pinoy culture 🇵🇭 [I’m half so seeing something representing a part of my heritage is super exciting]).

Cedrick and Frl. Flicka.
Since quarantine, the two have been getting along better after spending so much time together.
But occasionally the Kaspers’ pet Hellhound/Doberman reverts back to her bad habits barking and chasing Cedrick around like cattle while she waits for her favorite master to come home from work.

Random sketch dump with Richard, Sigrid, and the stray neighborhood tomcat nicknamed Odin after “Odin’s Eye”, the Kaspers’ heterochromia ability to see spirits and monsters.
-
Odin is a white tomcat with odd-eyes who’d constantly meow and yowl late at night to attract the ladies.
Lately he hasn’t been roaming around as much due to his age, and has been staying over at Aina’s backyard where Hedy enjoys sleeping in the greenhouse; the two cats had been inseparable until Odin’s death a year later, resulting in three litters of kittens.
Like Hedy, Odin was very affectionate - especially towards Sigrid.
Richard doesn’t like cats (Grim Reapers hate cats for their 9 lives and chasing away dead souls that need capturing), but has a soft spot for Odin due to their many similarities and the fact Odin’s on his last life out of nine.

This #sketchdump was a bit fun - Late 1970s thru 1980s New Romance fashion with Richard and Sigrid.
New Romance is a look that would work with a Grim Reaper aesthetic, but it’s not Richard’s style (he had a hard time letting go of his denim bell bottoms for straight legs for a year).
As for Sigrid, it fits her daughter of the “Witch”/weird lonely schoolgirl profile, but she’s secretly really into cute frilly pink stuff.

Another #sketchdump with Richard, Sigrid, Aina, and a baby Johannes.
-
Aina had always been saddened by her daughter’s fate to die young, afraid of Sigrid not living a full life until then.
Richard’s appearance was when Aina knew Sigrid’s time was almost up, but she also realized that Death sent the youngest Kasper - an unmarried, handsome traveling Grim Reaper/doctor - to observe Sigrid as a possible act of mercy (Richard isn’t as hasty to kill compared to his father; he also had pity for Sigrid).
She was beyond happy when her daughter and Richard finally fell in love, got married, and had a son, but was soon devastated with Sigrid’s predicted demise followed by Richard’s unexpected death; her last glimmer of joy was her grandson Johannes Faustuz, whom she enjoyed taking care of during the summer months whenever he visited Copenhagen from Kiel.
