Description In the 1996 movie Casper, we never see or hear much of Casper's mom except for that pretty lace dress. And we even get to see a photo of his father, but where's Mrs. McFadden?

This is more or less how I imagine she looked. The dress in the movie had mutton sleeves, which were from the Edwardian fashion era, I think. So I went looking through old dress patterns online from the same era and threw together another dress for her. Oh, and I didn't come up with her name--another Casper fan did.

I didn't use her as a reference, but I was inspired by actress Moira Kelly when drawing the face and expression.

This incarnation of Casper's mother is (C) me.

she surely was a good mother. It is sad to imagine Casper dying so young. As a child, I wanted to return as a ghost so I could fly and have friends.

Wow, this is the first fanart of Casper's mom I've ever seen! I love Casper fanart. It's my favorite movie. I think Casper's mom and Kat's mom are friends, now that I'm looking at your drawing. You should draw her in Kat's white dress. I love it.

Can I post you two questions if you don't mind?

From which exactly period of time is the dress? 1900?
and, How do you know that Casper's mom name was Elisabeth?

Thank you! That means a lot, especially since I admire your Casper art so much. <3

Apparently another commenter says it's a canon name (from the documentary on the film), but I personally got it from various fanfictions.

The dress was inspired by Edwardian fashion. This one in particular is about circa 1895-1905.

very well drawn.

like maybe you could draw a family picture of both Casper and his parents.

That really is her name, they mentioned it in the extras on the Casper DVD.

I'm not sure exactly. It was a friend's DVD, so I haven't seen it in forever. Sorry >_<
