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. #digital #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #originalcharacter #frauv8_ocs #femalecharacter #characterart #originalcharacterart #animestyle #witch #girl #teenagegirl #gown #dress #witchhat #gloves #1980s #black #white

“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). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #prequel #originalcharacter #malecharacter #frauv8_ocs #grimreaper #death #skeleton #skull #bones #black #white #green #yellow #red

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. - #moldiv #prequel #motionleap #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #ipaddrawing #ipadart #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #frauv8_ocs #animestyle #animestyleart #malecharacter #man #femalecharacter #couple #1980s #ladyinred #red #yellow #black

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. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #frauv8_ocs #femalecharacter #characterdesign #characterart #fashion #clothing

A day trip to the beach away from Copenhagen… (Original Version) - On weekends Richard and Sigrid would often go out to the beach during the day and Tivoli Gardens or the movie theater very late at night to avoid being caught dating (the biggest reason being that Sigrid’s academy prohibits dating before graduation, the other reason is Richard’s age and not so favorable reputation within the occult community as a member of the Kasper Family). They do eventually get caught kissing at the arcade by Sigrid’s classmates after almost a year dating, leading to Sigrid’s expulsion, quick engagement to Richard, and moving away to Kiel to avoid further harassment. Even in present times the occult community in Copenhagen still whisper about their taboo relationship and Sigrid’s sudden expulsion from the academy despite being its most powerful Witch - which is the biggest source of their son Johannes’ discomfort whenever he visits his grandmother’s flower shop (he doesn’t like the fact his father was so much older than his mother and was ultimately the cause of her downfall, but he’s grateful that Richard really loved Sigrid and as Death still holds her soul close by in the Underworld). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #motionleap #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #man #girl #beach #1980sstyle #frauv8_ocs #animestyle

2.5 hours spent on this pic (not including the primary sketches, which took at least 1 hour to make). I also used different brushes to color Richard, giving him a paint marker look - basically some coloring practice. — I had made an Insta-Story earlier briefly mentioning about how Richard was developed, but I’ll elaborate here: Originally Freyja’s father Erik was planned to be Death with a design based of Death in the 1957 Swedish film “The Seventh Seal”, but a scrawny pale man in a black cloak didn’t match up with Erik’s boisterous and proud personality - he’s Viking royalty and making him a weapons maker was the better choice (not to mention he hates Johannes, which wouldn’t work well if he was Death since he’d call Johannes a worthless Grim Reaper for the family business - totally not what Johannes is). - Richard was already written out as an “Angel of Death” - a Viking prince who converted to Christianity, became a cardinal only to be killed by another out of jealousy, and was given immortality by evil spirits to take revenge on the descendants of the man who murdered him; therefore making him Death and having his son working for him made perfect sense. Richard was also described as handsome and cunning, so it also didn’t make sense to make him look like Death from “The Seventh Seal” (and Richard isn’t Swedish); instead he gets based off of Death in one of my favorite “Twilight Zone” episodes titled “Nothing in the Dark” - Death is a handsome man who finally got an old lady to let him in her home so he could take her soul away to eternity (familiar vibes to how Richard is sent to collect Sigrid’s cursed soul). The actor who played Death was also a popular heartthrob of the 1970s, making it perfect inspiration - Richard’s fashion sense is stuck in the 1970s, he’s known to be a heartbreaking playboy, and he loves Disco during the 1980s when it was declared dead (adds to the insult of “Old Man” he got from Sigrid when they first met). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #originalart #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #malecharacter #man #grimreaper #death #scythe #souls #animestyle #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk
