#inktober #flower pic no.31 - #poinsettia - The birth flower of December, these flowers are also known as “Christmas Star,” “Mexican Flame Leaf,” and “Winter Rose.” It gets it name after the first American ambassador to Mexico who was also a botanist. The Poinsettia became associated with Christmas with a legend of a boy gathering weeds as a humble offering which turned into this colorful flower on Christmas Eve. This flower comes in white, pink, and red, and symbolizes celebration, good cheer, and success. - The second flower featured in this pic is #edelweiss. Edelweiß is a national symbol of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland where this rare beauty can be found. Its name means “noble” and “white,” and symbolizes purity, courage, adventure, devotion, and sacrifice. - I had to make Poinsettia and Edelweiss the last pic for my Inktober prompt because Christmas is coming soon, and these two flowers make me think of winter - though Edelweiss blooms late in summer 🤔 (it’s a fuzzy flower to keep itself warm, so that’s why it makes me think of winter). And we have Hr. Dr. Kasper all dressed up as if he’s attending an award ceremony or a special birthday/holiday dinner with his wife Freyja (his birthday is 23 December). — #inktober2018 #originalcharacter #malecharacter #blondhairblueeyes #glasses #flowers #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pens #kuretake #kuretakebrushpen #kuretakecambio #fountainpen #platinumpen #platinumpreppy #ohtodude #pentel #penteltradio #tradiopen #tradio #autodesksketchbook

#inktober #flower pic no.30 - #anthurium - A heart-shaped flower with many colors and variation in sizes, the name is derived from Greek; it translates to “Tail Flower” with its inner spadix being the reason. They are popular houseplants and decor for offices, making them very versatile and adaptable plants. The Anthurium represents hospitality, happiness, and prosperity - the perfect plant to give as a housewarming gift. - Again, a simple drawing this time. It’s a potted Anthurium in a plain home/office setting, the most common way this plant is displayed. — #inktober2018 #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pens #pentel #penteltradio #tradio #fountainpen #platinumpen #pilotmarkers #frixion #frixioncolors

#inktober #flower pic no.29 - #gladiolus / #gladioli - Known as “Sword Flowers,” Gladioli are old-fashioned flowers grown next to fences as backdrops for other garden flowers. They grow up in spikes up to 4ft. tall (about 125cm.), and come in a rainbow of colors. Because of its shape, this flower is associated with gladiators in ancient times. It stands for strength, honor, integrity, determination, and character - all traits to describe a warrior. The sword-shape is also believed to strike through the heart to directly send one’s love. - Nothing too special this time - just the flower drawn in #pink / #red #erasableink with a hint of Spiderman, a character with all the represented traits of the Gladiolus. — #gladiolusflower #inktober #inkart #inkdrawing #redink #blackink #pens #pilotfrixion #frixion #platinumpen #platinumpreppy #kuretake #kuretakebrushpen #kuretakecambio #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier

#inktober #flower pic no.26 - #hibiscus - The state flower of Hawaii and national flower of Haiti, this tropical flower comes in red, yellow, pink, purple, and white. They are used in herbal tea and food flavoring, not just as gardening plants. The hibiscus gets it name from an Ancient Greek derived name of a Roman botanist and doctor. This flower symbolizes delicate feminine beauty, fleeting glory and fame, young women, and the qualities of the perfect wife. - With the flower of feminine beauty and wives, it’s Asia and Freyja again. These ladies have grace, beauty, wits, and lots of attitude to share. - This pic was digitally inked and colored with #autodesksketchbook this time. It’s in the grey area whether I think counts for Inktober, but the #digitalink brushwork does resemble actual #ink, so I guess it’s a pass. - 5 more to go~ With some extras too, lol. — #inktober2018 #originalcharacters #femalecharacters #women #redflowers #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitalcoloring #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pencil #mechanicpencil

#inktober #flower pic no.25 - #aster - From Greek meaning “Star” and also known as #starwort, these flowers are very similar to the daisy. They come in white, pink, blue, violet, lavender, and red with yellow centers. Asters are believed to be enchanted blossoms, used as a love talisman and burned for protection. They symbolize patience and wisdom; they are the birth flower for the month of September and are given for couples’ 20th wedding anniversary. - I decided to go a bit more digital on this pic after inking it (like what I did with no.4 and no.19). - Freyja was used for Daisy, so Faustuz as a necromancer mage was the obvious choice for Aster. Mages are often regarded as wise and healing in the fantasy world regardless of what kind they are; being a necromancer mage allows Faustuz to not only cure ailments but also to bring the dead back to life abet they haven’t been killed or dead longer than a day. He can also summon Death, but at a cost of something precious. — #inktober2018 #inkdrawing #platinumpen #platinumpreppy #sepiaink #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #digitalcoloring #digitalcolouring #digitalart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #malecharacter #blond #longhair #flowers

#inktober #flower pic no.24 - #statice - Also called #sealavender, #caspia, #marshrosemary, and #everlastingflower, these flowers are often dried and used for decoration. They commonly come in shades of purple, blue, yellow, white, and pink, and have a papery texture to them. Because of their ability to preserve well, statice is a flower for remembrance and sympathy. - A quick one this time, almost like a watercolor pen drawing but with cheap alcohol markers. I really had a hard time figuring out what to do with stock and statice - they’re both similar in use as filler flowers in bouquets, but definitely not the same in meaning when you give it to someone. Perhaps my next flower pic won’t be so plain and thoughtless. 😑 — #inktober2018 #ink #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #pen #pencil #markers #platinumpen #platinumpreppy #crayolamarkers #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #purpleflowers

#inktober #flower pic no.21 - #magnolia - A large blossom native to Asia that was brought to the Americas, it is named after a French botanist. This flower comes in shades of white, pink, yellow, and purple. It stands for beauty, poise, dignity, self-respect, nobility, pride, and love for the natural. In the United States, it is associated with the South, and is a popular bridal flower in bouquets. - This time it’s Asia Williams, Tyrone’s wife. She and Tyrone are both from Houston, Texas which has a historic nickname of “Magnolia City” when magnolia forests used to grow naturally. Asia is a very prideful woman with strong opinions, which gets her both admiration and hate from people. — #inktober2018 #blackink #ink #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #penart #pens #lependrawing #pentelbrushpen #kuretakebrushpen #pencil #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #originalcharacter #femalecharacter

#originalcharacter 4️⃣: Vincent-Claude DeValeur (sometimes it’s spelled DeValuer) He has his hair up in a #manbun and loves to #smoke a #cigarette when he’s relaxing. Still not sure what his blood type would be, but most likely it’ll be B. Fun Note: Both “De Valeur” and “De Valuer” translates to “Valuable” in French. 🇫🇷 - I should get back to my Inktober flower prompt - I’m already 2 days behind! 😱 As for the next one of these, it’ll be original character 3️⃣: Freyja Ström. What determine the making of these? I asked which of the eight characters you liked in the last post, and I got only two responses. This means I do plan on doing more interactive pics based off of how people answer/comment. — #pen #erasablepen #pendrawing #penart #pensketch #pendoodle #handwriting #cursive #blueink #moleskine #moleskinejournal #malecharacter #smoking

For those who can’t read my #cursive: “ Just a random thought for my followers on Instagram: Which of my original characters do you like the most and why? Comment away - I like to hear what you have to say! ❤️😊 •List of Original Characters: 1️⃣Johannes Faustuz Kasper 2️⃣Cedrick Kasper 3️⃣Freyja Ström 4️⃣Vincent-Claude Piers DeValeur 5️⃣Rufus McClaine 6️⃣Tyrone Williams 7️⃣Kimiko Abe 8️⃣Granger Rodriguez “ And of course the two last options are ETC. and NONE.

It’s finally finished after being in the WIP folder for a long time. 🎉 And no matter how you look at it, there’s always a group of three matching in some way, lol. - Poor Cedrick is surrounded by his coworkers as he plays a virtual surgeon game - unless he’s actually operating with a game controller, lol. In their version of the world in the near future, the younger Hr. Dr. Kasper operates using virtual and augmented technology. Because he’s still considered a child at age 15-16, he can only operate under the supervision of his father and the director. Otherwise, Cedrick is either doing triage, lab work, or taking long naps in the office he shares with his father; if he’s not busy with work, then he helps tutor kids with homework and plays video games. Life as a wunderkind isn’t very much different from everyone else - just no more school as a kid and more work as if he’s an adult. - Top Left to Bottom Right: •Leyon DeValuer🇫🇷: hospital director/geneticist •Tyrone Williams🇺🇸: pediatrician •Johannes Faustuz Kasper🇩🇪: oncologist •Kimiko Abe🇯🇵: nurse •Cedrick Kasper🇩🇪: surgeon •Fatima Khan🇵🇰: cardiologist — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #doctors #frauv8_ocs

It’s #nationalbossesday today. If you have an awesome #boss, tell him/her thanks for an awesome job! 👏 - For my #originalcharacters who work at the hospital, the director Docteur Leyon DeValeur is their very enigmatic boss who appears when you least expect it. And when he starts speaking to you in his native French, you know he’s really keeping a close eye on you. Other than that, he’s a very nice guy compared to his protégé Hr. Dr. Kasper. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadprodrawing #autodesksketchbook #orginalcharacter #malecharacter #doctor #sitting #sittingdown #desk #work

#inktober #flower pic no.16 - #lotus - The flower of purity, rebirth, and eternity. It is the symbol of Hinduism and Buddhism with ties to reincarnation, spiritual growth, and enlightenment. It also represents a person’s journey in life, starting from being like a seed into a bud from the mud to a flower in bloom above the water and being able to see the sun. - I’m halfway through my prompt - yay! 🙌🏻 I’ll be cramming as many as I can the next few days since I’ll be busy with work again. I might toss in a few quick digital pics as well so it’s not just traditional media posts (if my energy levels allows it - I’ve been so tired!) — #inktober2018 #copicpen #sepiapen #pencil #crayola #crayolamarkers #mujimarkers #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pencilbox #drawing #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #markerart #plant #pink #green #pinkflower #pinklotus

#inktober #flower pic no.12 - #cherryblossom / #sakura - Comes in shades of pink, white, and sometimes red, these flowers are a national symbol of Japan. Similarly to the Morning Glory, they represent mortality but in a more positive light - cherry blossoms symbolize the beautiful journey and fragility of life. They can bloom as early as late January and early February, a welcoming sign for spring to come. - It’s Kimiko Abe, my Japanese #originalcharacter. She’s a bit klutzy, loves cute things and the color pink, and gets easily scared when she encounters unfamiliar things and people. — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #pens #copicpen #platinumpen #platinumpreppy #markers #crayola #pencilbox #hellokitty #originalcharacterart #femalecharacter

#inktober #flower pic no.11 - #morningglory - The flower of lovers, promises, and mortality, these flowers come in many shades of blue, purple, pink, and white. There’s another form of them called #moonflowers which bloom late at night. These flowers are given to couples on their 11th wedding anniversary, and are one of the flowers for the month of September. - It’s Freyja with her beloved Johannes Faustuz in their moment of morning glory. (*facepalms and groans*) The flower is named so for blooming late at night to early in the morning as the sun rises. The term, on the other hand, could be morning sex or something the male body does on its own... 😅 — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #copicpen #midliners #crayolamarker #mujimarkers #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #couple #kiss #lovers #blueflowers

#inktober #flower pic no.10 - #forsythia - This hardy flowering shrub produces bright yellow flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. This plant produces fruit commonly used in Chinese medicine to reduce inflammation and infection. It is named after a British botanist, and it is a flower that represents anticipation of things to come. - This #originalcharacter is Prince Asher Yang Solar, male counterpart of Princess Celestial Yin Lunar. — #pens #marker #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pentel #tradio #platinumpen #preppypen #sharpie #crayola #mujimarker #malecharacter

#inktober #flower pic no.9 - #lilac - These flowers represent confidence, innocence, and emotions of first love. They commonly come in violet and white, but can also come in pink, yellow, and burgundy. These flowers often bloom in spring to early summer. The wood of this shrub/tree is often used in making carving crafts and instruments. - This #originalcharacter is Princess Celestial Yin Lunar, a character I made way back in about 2003-2004. Her kingdom’s symbol was the lilac flower. She has a male counterpart, Prince Asher Yang Solar, whose symbol is the forsythia flower. — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #purpleflowers #yin #femalecharacter #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pens #markers #pentel #tradio #kuretake #brushpen #midliners #mujimarkers

#inktober #flower pic no.7 - #daisy - The flower of faith which many love-stricken people have plucked out its petals to determine the one they admire loves them back. Many children also make them into chains and wear them on their heads for fun. These flowers are commonly white and yellow, but can come in other colors. They’re also used in tea, its leaves eaten in salads, and ancient doctors used it for medicine. - It’s Freyja again, hoping her beloved Johannes Faustuz would love her back (of course he would). The two are often separated due to their careers (she’s a supermodel; he’s a doctor/scientist), so often she gets anxious being apart from him for long periods of time. - This might be the last #drawing for a while since I’ll be back to work tomorrow. I might be able to sneak in other pic - we’ll see. — #originalcharacterdrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #femalecharacter #moleskinecahier #moleskine #sketchbook #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #pilotpen #fountainpen #pentel #pentelpen #tradio #sharpie #sharpiemarker #pickingpetals #inlove

#inktober #flower pic no.6 - #iris - These flowers are named after the Greek goddess of rainbows, which is appropriate since they come in many colors from red to black-purple, though the most popular colors are white, blue, violet, and yellow. They represent loyalty and good tidings and news. - Like Cedrick and Vincent-Claude, I had drawn Rufus back in 2006-2007 with a flower. For Rufus, it was an iris, perfect considering his profession is a photojournalist. - I thought about coloring it, but decided to keep it plain and simple. There’s plenty of detail in the #inkdrawing as is, and I put my UK-themed notebook next to the pic because the character is British-Irish. — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pens #pilotpen #fountainpen #pentel #pentelpen #tradio #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdrawing

#inktober #flower pic no.4 - #sunflower - (I know I messed up the order of my prompt, but whatever, lol) My grandfather always called these flowers “weeds” in his corn fields, but sunflowers can be useful being grown for their seeds and oil. They grow up very tall, are symmetrical in shape, and are very recognizable with their bright yellow petals resembling the sun. According to Hanakotoba (the Japanese art of speaking with flowers), this flower called Himawari represents respect, passionate love, and radiance. - The line art was done with #ink, but I colored it in digitally with #autodesksketchbook using a basic marker brush. - For this pic, it’s a young Johannes Faustuz Kasper wearing traditional clothing with a pretzel in hand. And like a sunflower, he’s simple in appearance, grows up much taller than everyone else around him, and is always reliable whenever he’s needed. — #inktober2018 #inkdrawing #inkart #inkartwork #digitalcoloring #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pilotpen #fountainpen #pentel #pentelpen #tradio #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #child #boy #german #himawari

#inktober #flower pic no.3 - #orchid - These tropical flowers come in so many forms and shapes, from female bees to monkey faces (yes, look it up - it’s no joke). They’re very beautiful but also very delicate and require care. - I’m just cramming in as many of these I can before I get busy with work again; therefore, I’m probably putting a lot of people to shame being able to spew out three out of my #inktober2018 prompt in about a day when many barely are able to make one in a day (Sorry/not sorry, lol). This is a typical #inkdrawing that’s all #blackink, which makes it a bit more plain and simple. And I’m currently in love using the #clearfountainpen - one of many things I’ve bought from @maidosantaanita (I LOVE that store for art supplies). — #moleskinecahier #moleskine #sketchbook #pens #kuretake #kuretakebrushpen #whitebrushpen #pilotpen #fountainpen #pentelpen #tradio #blackwhite #inkart #inkartwork

#inktober #flower pic no.2 - #tulip - Tulips come in various colors and are one of the most popular flowers people grow in their gardens. They’re originally from around Turkey, but are also associated with the Netherlands due the Dutch being obsessed with these flowers in the 17th century. - This pic is kinda a nod to an old drawing I made of Cedrick back circa 2006-2007 using mainly #sharpiemarkers (it’s in my dA gallery somewhere). But this version the wunderkind is actually a kind, and I used multiple #inkbased media aside from #sharpie. - For #inktober2018, I’m just going to follow my prompt and cram as many as I can do while I don’t have work - my job has been uber busy and demanding lately, especially with Columbus Day coming up this month (that means working on a holiday, though many don’t consider it a real holiday, lol). And that means I might actually do more than the usual 31 pics, which my #flower prompt allows for. — #originalcharacterdrawing #originalcharacter #malecharacter #boy #child #inkart #inkdrawing #inkartwork #pilotpen #fountainpen #midliner #midliners #midlinerhighlighters #sharpiemarker #crayolamarkers #crayolablendingmarkers #sketchbook #molskine #moleskinecahier
