Quick trip back to the 1980s with these two in three versions.
(Original, Blue, Red)
-
Sigrid had always been into the current styles of the 1980s, always excited to get her hands on the latest teen fashion magazines to read and copy trends.
Richard, on the other hand, has always been behind in regards to his fashion (most of his stuff is from the late 1960s to late 1970s).
“If it’s not ripped or has holes, it’s still good” has been his philosophy since he dislikes shopping for new clothes; but when Richard does put effort to pick out more recent looks, Sigrid can’t help but get excited seeing her boyfriend wear something new.

Inside Aina’s greenhouse where her daughter Sigrid can be found tending to the hundreds of plants growing there.
Every now and then the neighbor’s cat Hedy would make herself home to nap and bask in the sunlight amongst the plants; an even more rare sight inside the greenhouse is Sigrid’s boyfriend Richard (as the incarnation of Death, he’s afraid of killing her plants).
Richard is more likely outside the greenhouse killing Tatzelwurms and other mythical pests threatening Aina and Sigrid’s livelihood as florists and “natural herbalists”(mother and daughter don’t like it when people call them “witches”).

Richard and Sigrid sharing a quick kiss in Aina’s greenhouse; whenever they think she’s not looking, Sigrid’s mother loves popping up out of nowhere just to surprise them and try to “enhance the mood” (obviously Sigrid would get upset while Richard says “Thanks” and tries to lead Aina out of the room).
••••
Because of Sigrid’s life curse, Aina was saddened with the fact her daughter wouldn’t live long enough to get married and have children - more so when the arcade owner’s son Batty got engaged to another girl (Aina was close friends with Batty’s father; both hoped their children would fall in love and get married).
When Richard first arrived in her flower shop, Aina was smitten with his looks and charm, immediately thinking he’d be the perfect man for her daughter despite his reputation as the youngest son of “The Black Skull of Kiel” and as a promiscuous playboy (Richard also had just broken off his engagement).
Aina knew Sigrid might not like him at first for obvious reasons (Sigrid’s heart was recently broken, instantly called Richard by his nickname “Dick” because that’s what she thought he was, and sensed he wasn’t a normal a Grim Reaper), but was surprised how quickly their relationship developed over the next year.
Aina was beyond excited when Richard and Sigrid became a couple, even more so when they were finally expecting a child.
But Aina’s view of Richard was shattered when she walked in Sigrid’s hospital room unannounced, seeing the harsh truth that he was Death all along as he pulled and held out Sigrid’s soul (Grim Reapers don’t personally remove people’s souls, just collect them up after the incident causing death occurred; only Death Himself will personally take souls that are marked by curses).
Aina is still upset about Richard not being truthful about his identity as Death and intent to take Sigrid away, but doesn’t let that anger carry over towards her grandson Johannes Faustuz despite resembling his father.

It’s not often I’d draw Hr. Dr. Kasper with his parents (Sigrid died a few days after childbirth; Richard “deteriorated” when he was 2-almost-3 years old), but it’s kinda a fun experiment drawing them together just to compare how he looks like to them.
It’s pretty obvious that he’d resemble Richard a lot (same coloring, height, etc.), but there’s also quite a bit of Sigrid he inherited (hair style, personality/expressions, etc.).
…also it’s another excuse to draw matching plaid outfits influenced by their respective decades, lol.
(I just really like drawing outfits on OCs, okay?!)
Feel free to comment below to say which parent Johannes Faustuz resembles, or vote on the poll featured in “SIGRID’S DIARY”.
(You can comment on which outfit/OC is your favorite as well)

Simple drawing, first one in a while…
As long as I don’t clench my hand too much and wear my wrist brace, it’s not too bad...
(I should invest in getting a wrist support for typing too)
-
It’s Stern the Amabie, one of the Kaspers’ many creatures they’ve taken in whenever they’re in need of a home for whatever reason.
Stern was found at the backyard by the family cat Klimt, who carried her to Hr. Dr. Kasper’s desk as a “present”; she was flown there by a red-tail hawk nesting in a tree, and escaped its nest full of chicks only to fall down and nearly die from sun exposure and dehydration.
Cedrick does his best to keep all the critters happy as caretaker while his father is busy away at work; Stern doesn’t require much other than her water being changed weekly and fed fish flakes daily, but she’s known to crawl out of her fishbowl every now and then to enjoy a bath in a hot cup of tea and chat with her fellow Yōkai Junko the Hyōsube.

It seems like a random doodle, but I can explain:
When I was watching SQUID GAME, I was like “I know I’ve seen that color of jacket…”
Yeah… it’s because I’ve drawn the same green color jacket before. 💀
It’s not exact, but pretty darn close.
(It’s also my favorite shade of green too, lol; reference on the last slide to see the original jacket I had in mind)
It’s also a similar shade of green doctors (particularly surgeons) wear to contrast with red, and obviously there’s one doctor OC who happens to wear a lot of green as part of his design…

A few skin tone palettes I use for my OCs; I use similar colors when using alcohol markers.
Some skin tones are trickier than others (especially fair and dark) due to not getting so dark and having the right amount of contrast between colors - if it’s any darker, fair skin turns into medium/olive skin; if dark skin is too dark, you can’t see any important facial details.

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.

One of my favorite kind of drawings for OCs:
The whole family all dressed up and color coordinated - which means it doesn’t matter how they’re arranged because they’ll match! 😍
Comment below which arrangement of 3 is your favorite:
• 3: Johannes Faustuz, Freyja, Cedrick (Kasper Family)
• 4: Erik, Cedrick, Johannes Faustuz (“Freyja’s Boys”)
• 5: Cedrick, Freyja, Erik (Ström side of the family)
-
Also, Johannes Faustuz is wearing a 1980s inspired blue suit with a white-collared blue pinstriped shirt and pink necktie like his father Richard (6: last slide).

A bit messier and sloppier than usual, but meh…😑
Maybe I should try making realistic portraits of my characters as a challenge?
Or a tutorial on how to draw one of them?
IDK…
Artist’s Block is the worst…

Something drawn earlier this month but been sitting in a digital folder for a while because meh…
I also included closeups of the plaid - it’s no secret that I love drawing patterns on clothes, lol.
I’ve just not been excited drawing lately - I feel like an uninspired slob…
But I’ve been on Duolingo lately to feel productive with my spare time, and I have quite a bit to rant about with some of the things I’ve learned (seriously - “der Mann” [Man] is masculine, “der Junge” [Boy] is also masculine; “die Frau” [Woman] is feminine, so you’d think the German word for “Girl” would also be feminine. NO! It’s “das Mädchen” which is neutral! WTF! And funny I bring that up because this pic literally has a girl in it, lol)

About each drawing:
• Freyja loves using her husband’s glasses as a fashion accessory.
That’s why Johannes Faustuz has so many styles and pairs of them - and because he has so many, he always has a spare pair to see (his right green eye is nearly blind unless it’s activated).
• Faustuz doesn’t like buying new clothes if it’s avoidable, especially for expensive items (he rather spend the money for a date night with Freyja or on treats for the many creatures the family has at home).
Luckily he inherited some stuff from his father Richard that he actually likes to wear, such as watches, rings, and suits (Richard bought a few Armani suits in the 1980s to impress Sigrid).
• Freyja and Faustuz are notorious for staying out late after their dinner dates (for obvious reasons - mainly to get time away from work and their son Cedrick), often upsetting Erik when they finally get home around dawn (he’s always going to be a protective father for his daughter no matter how old she is).

“And what the F- is a Cipactli?!”
(I should make a “Wunderkind’s Notes” on the creature; not sure if I’ll make this a full story - maybe just another page or two of these two Reapers working together)
Granger Rodriguez, her mother Yolanda, and younger sister Carmen are the local Reapers in the Southwestern region of the USA, but every so often they’ll ask for help from the Kaspers whenever they have work in Los Angeles (the Kaspers are normally based in Kiel and are in charge of Northern Europe and Scandinavia).
Granger’s daytime job is a LAPD officer, while Johannes Faustuz is a surgical oncologist/substitute Biology professor.
Reapers mostly focus on collecting human souls after death occurs, but a lot of times human souls transform into mythical creatures depending on circumstances; only when these creatures go rogue is when a Reaper will hunt down the monster to prevent interference with the living.

#sketchdump with a lot of OCs at once…😶
• Asia’s not happy with her hubby Tyrone having a hangover after having several drinks the night before with his “work spouse” Hr. Dr. Kasper.
• Cedrick noticed Stern wasn’t in her fishbowl; since she’s so tiny and prone to drying out after long periods of time, he’s panicking trying to find her (she most likely crawled into a hot cup of tea sitting out in the kitchen).
• Freyja is all dressed up for a red carpet event; she’s caught off guard with someone asking where “Mr. Ström” is for the night.
• Some random guy at the local sports bar made fun of Johannes Faustuz drinking a pink cocktail, calling him a “Girly Man”.
Kaspers are known to be extremely vengeful when insulted, so in retaliation Faustuz challenges him to a drinking contest - whoever drinks the most pink cocktails wins.
Tyrone knows his coworker can tolerate a lot of alcohol, but he’s scared of the other guy getting hurt as well as explaining to Asia his whereabouts late at night.
• Sigrid and Richard out on a rare daytime date in the 1980s.
Most of their dates were at night to avoid people they know who don’t approve of their relationship, but if they want to eat out and play the latest arcade games on the same day then they have to plan a date for an earlier time.

Took awhile to finish this due to being busy with work and feeling lazy/tired/uninspired the past several days.
•Sigrid likes dressing up in shorts & tanks when she’s not wearing school uniforms/dresses; when it’s nighttime she gets cold since she forgets to bring a sweater/jacket.
Since Richard appeared, he’s been lending his coats which smells like Calvin Klein Obsession (Sigrid thought he’d stink with all the monsters & souls he hunts).
•Hedy (Sigrid’s home room teacher/neighbor Mr. Vannderhassen’s cat) loves sneaking into Aina’s greenhouse for naps and visits with Odin (the neighborhood stray tomcat).
As much as Sigrid and her mother love cats, their neighbor often accuses Aina of stealing his cat and is upset seeing a another man with Sigrid.
•Richard gets calls from Aina at his office in Kiel about Tatzelwurms; they’re weasel/snake-like creatures that burrow underground & drawn to valuable crops (Aina grows flowers, shrubs, and herbs).
He’ll get bloodied with scratches and bites killing them, which leads to stains on Aina’s floors; to prevent them, she’d force Richard to strip off his clothes and rinse off all the blood before getting locked in the bathroom until the laundry was done.
•Sigrid relaxing after a doctor’s appointment; both know they’re expecting a boy but not sure if he’ll look like his mother or father (Johannes Faustuz ended up looking a lot like Richard).
•Faustuz was able to see souls when he was about 3-6 months old; one soul would be floating nearby which scared him; it was his mother’s soul Richard keeps around for sentimental reasons after removing it from Sigrid’s body (Death keeps a special collection of souls of people he loved).
•Aina has a hard time telling her grandson about his parents, esp. since it was Richard as Death who took Sigrid’s soul out; because of this, Faustuz grew up hating his father.
