I just keep going down the 1980s rabbit hole when it comes to drawing OCs and clothing…😑
The 1980s really had nice formal wear that’s very iconic and makes a strong statement.
-
As for the song, it’s actually from the 1970s - a little something from Richard’s era since he’s stuck there (Sigrid’s trying her best to get him with the times in regards to his wardrobe and cultural references).
The 1970s had a lot of great music (Disco, Ballards, Rock), and is a decade I find interesting almost in par with the 1980s in regards to media and events (not so much fashion - the 1970s inspired a lot of 1990s fashion, and both decades in regards to clothing kinda sucked in my opinion).

Another page from Sigrid’s diary: Richard’s first debutante at the academy.
-
Sigrid was still bitter about being rejected by Batty on Valentine’s Day 2 months prior; she’s also slowly getting more used to Richard’s presence as her assigned Reaper observing the status of her soul (as well being occasional Handyman and Tatzelwurm exterminator at her mother’s flower shop).
She was aware her mother wanted her to pair up with Richard, and knows he really liked her but kept his emotions to a minimum by giving her glances, compliments, and surprise gifts (only after spending the night together when he was lovesick they started becoming more affectionate with each other).
Sigrid admits she finds Richard attractive and that he looks like a popular actor at the time, but didn’t like the fact that he’s a descendant of a family known for killing Witches in the distant past (as well as other historical atrocities such as bodysnatching and experimentation on humans), has a “Bad Boy” reputation as a Playboy, is so much older that he could pass by as a distant cousin or her guardian, and wears clothes from the past decade (he does slowly upgrade his wardrobe when they start dating).
Over the months leading up to the official start of their romance, Sigrid grew to love his “goofy smile and feathered hair”, his terrible Danish with a German accent (he also speak perfect English with an American accent, another turn on for Sigrid), his scent (combination of sweat, formaldehyde, and CK Obsession cologne), and how his odd-colored eyes would gently blink as he placed his coat over her shoulders for warmth.
She was also surprised how much he enjoys playing arcade games, watches American movies and TV, listens to (and sings) popular songs, and is really good with computers and other new tech in the 1980s - proving that he’s been a good match for her all along.

“You have a beautiful soul...”
Death (Richard) loves collecting souls, especially those that belong to anyone with a life curse - the purity of youth creates a more vibrant soul.
But it’s not often someone has a life curse - and in this case he has fallen in love with his victim Sigrid.

Another 1980s song referred in this pic:
“Destination Unknown”
🚗🌴✨
I made 2 versions - one edited with the app PREQUEL, the other straight from the app SKETCHBOOK (I’m one of them rare artists who use it over PROCREATE despite having both apps on my iPad).
Comment and let me know which version you like more! 🤗

Richard & Sigrid’s son Johannes (Hr. Dr. Kasper) - Biology Professor Mode.
[Reel Version]
Normally his day job is a Surgical Oncologist, but whenever his colleague Prof. Vincent-Claude “Vinnie” DeValeur needs a substitute, he’ll step in as a Biology Professor.
[Otherwise, he’s a Grim Reaper working for his father Death Himself]

PART 1 - Sigrid and Richard are out for a walk with the neighborhood tomcat they named Odin (he has odd-eyes just like Richard).
1.5 hours condensed into 42 seconds, not including the rough sketching which took about the same amount of time (so a little over 3 hours total).

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).

Wunderkind’s Notes: Pesta
💀
Freyja technically is a Pesta, but because of cultural changes and her preference to working with her father, she rarely picks up a Rake unless her husband and son really need extra help; she also can’t see souls - only spirits and creatures.
[Grim Reapers in Europe are mostly male now, and as heiress of STRÖM CORPORATIONS & INDUSTRIES, Freyja enjoys being the first female Occult Weapons Dealer in history]
-
Freyja’s mother Sonja was one of the last Pesta of Norway, and worked as a rare female Grim Reaper until she accidentally was cursed by a Troll with a petrification spell - leading to her slow death turning into a statue (so many Wicca in Europe were killed in the Middle Ages to the point they were almost extinct; very few Wicca are alive, but Enchantresses had thrived because they could hide their magical abilities and not rely on potions as much).
Sonja was also betrothed to marry Heinrich Kasper since she was a powerful Witch, but due to many circumstances, she ended up marrying Erik Ström (this is partly why Erik doesn’t like Johannes - his uncle broke Sonja’s heart; the other is that his father Richard didn’t cure her of petrification, only slowed it [Erik doesn’t know Richard is Death though, so…]).

Another 1980s romance song referred in the subtitle…
The art style is a little bit more painterly than usual, almost like an old retro anime freeze frame at the end of an episode…

Sigrid Faustus-Jörgensen
• Sex: Female
• Age: 15 - 17
• D.O.B.: 02 / February / 196X
• Died: 25 / December / 198X
• Horoscope: Aquarius
• Blood Type: A
• Height: 175 cm / 5’ 9”
• Occupation: Academy Student & Florist
• Occult Type: Witch (Wicca Class)
• Hometown: Copenhagen, Denmark 🇩🇰
• Significant Other: Richard Kasper (Death)
• Favorite Color: Pink
• Favorite Animal: Cat
• Favorite Food: Ice Cream & Red Groats
Sigrid so far has been my most favorite/popular Kasper OC amongst my followers.
[Hr. Dr. Kasper, Cedrick, and Freyja are also very well liked; Richard… he’s seen cool as Death, but as a human few people keep mentioning he looks like Jeffery Dahmer 💀 (he’s not based off him just because he wears aviators and has blond hair - a lot of men {including my own dad} had that style in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s; Richard was inspired by Mr. Death / Harold acted by Robert Redford in “THE TWILIGHT ZONE”)]
Sigrid has sweet yet introverted personality with a strong dose of blunt sarcasm; she’s the top student in her school despite being a Wicca due to her extreme amount of “Magical Potential” and ability to cast spells even experienced Enchantresses with ease (as long as she has an ample supply of Activation Potions).
Because she’s a lower class of Witch and unable to cast spells without potions, Sigrid is often bullied by schoolmates and looked down by faculty even though her stepmother is headmistress (in fact, it fuels many to dislike her only because they’re related).
She originally hated Richard, knowing his past as a heartbreaking playboy and being a member of the Kasper Family who had once been hired to kill Witches and other horrifying acts against humanity of all kinds throughout history; but after learning more about his personal interests and true identity as Death, they developed a romance despite their large age gap and her academy’s prohibition on dating.

“Am I really that bad?”
💀
Based off a quote from Mr. Death in the “TWILIGHT ZONE”, the version Richard gets his inspiration from.
(“NOTHING IN THE DARK”)
-
To someone not of the occult community, Richard looks like a typical guy during the 1970s-1980s; however he’s “Death Incarnate”, Death Himself in the flesh living as the youngest son of “The Black Skull of Kiel” and recent heir of the Kasper bloodline.
Since he’s the actual deity, Richard can’t live a full lifespan of a normal human being; he can transform between forms if needed but at the cost of his health in the long term (mainly temporarily having symptoms similar to tuberculosis due to internal bleeding and tissue damage after changing back to human).
Richard was at his peak and nearing the end of his given lifespan when he met Sigrid, whom Fate assigned to him due to her life curse.
He claimed her soul after her lifespan ran out, two days after she gave birth to their son Johannes; four years later, Richard couldn’t maintain his human body much longer, returning to his true form as Death and leaving Johannes to the care of extended family (he still holds a grudge against his father for not explaining why he was left behind and was told by Onkel Heinrich that Richard had died in South Africa from a respiratory infection).

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.
