This is what I’ve been working on for the last few weeks — finally a new short story done after over 2 years, but this time it’s featuring Johannes’ parents Sigrid and Richard. [IG is only letting me post 20 at a time, but this is most of the story; I’ll have the remaining pages in the next post] — Copenhagen, 1985. Sigrid is sixteen, brilliant, cursed—and marked by Death. When a Fossegrim tries to drown her in a haunted fountain, she’s saved by a towering figure with mismatched eyes and a bloody scythe. His name is Richard Kasper, and he is Death Himself. But Death doesn’t just want her soul—he wants to protect her. And Death never lets go. #digitalart #originalcharacters #artontiktok #webcomic #digitaldrawing

So I know it’s currently a trend rn, but people really need to respect Miyazaki and just learn how to draw if they really want to appreciate his art…😒 Someone out there likened using ai to recreate the Ghibli art style is like a person saying microwaving a frozen pizza makes him a professional chef. It can be fun tool to use, but ai is sucking out the experience of creativity and appreciation of work; it’s making people really think art is just some quick, easy, cheap gimmick when in reality it took many lifetimes to get where we’re at. I don’t hate ai as in can be a useful tool to help in the process [as well as assist in many other things such as searching for cures for diseases and programming], but exclusively using it to make stuff is soulless—art will always need a human touch. This? I lost count how many hours it took me to make this, and it’s not even animated like a Studio Ghibli film… [it definitely took me more than 8 hours overall 💀] #frauv8ocs #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #moldiv_videolab #prequelapp #artoninstagram #originalcharacters #animeartstyle #studioghibliartstyle #studioghibli

Why do I draw summery pics in the dead of Winter…? [sometimes it actually feels like Summer during Winter with warm daytime temperatures, super dry and windy conditions, and the terrible wildfires rn over in LA - this isn’t normal for Winter 😭] Anyway, I just felt like drawing all these - alongside a Chat GPT generated story based on the idea of Richard and Sigrid going to the beach. 🏖️ ☀️ #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #malecharacter #femalecharacter #animeartstyle #beach #swimwear #summer #bellevuebeach #bellvuestrand #1980s

15/16: Vinnie DeValeur in the art style of “JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE” Vincent-Claude "Vinnie" DeValeur, the son of the hospital's director Dr. Leyon DeValeur, is a versatile professor at the University, teaching Biology, Anthropology, and Archeology. He's often called away for excavations involving occult artifacts, entrusting his classroom duties to his colleague, Hr. Dr. Johannes Kasper. Vinnie adopts an informal teaching style, usually laid-back but strict in grading exams, whereas Johannes takes a more formal and thorough approach to ensure students pass. Vinnie's heritage traces back to "Pied-Noir" refugees, carrying profound knowledge of the occult, and speculation lingers about his true age due to ancestral ties to Iberian, North African, and Middle Eastern magic. With his charming (yet tattooed and pierced “Bad-Boy”) appearance featuring tanned skin, long dark hair, sapphire-blue eyes, and a captivating smile, Vinnie has a penchant for chain-smoking and flirting with women - even among his students - regardless of their marital status or age (such as Hannah Kasper, Freyja Ström, Tricia Williams, and Kimiko Abe). Johannes often feels uncomfortable around Vinnie due to these habits but appreciates having an experienced expert in the unnatural, sometimes sharing a drink with hospital coworker Tyrone while entertaining Vinnie's company at the local sports bar. #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #mangastyle #animeart #mangaart #jojosbizarreadventure #hirohikoaraki #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #prequelapp #artoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artwork #originalart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #characterart #malecharacter #man #professor

13/16: Erik Ström in the art style of “MY HERO ACADEMIA” (also a colored pic after several black and white ones) Erik, the unwavering patriarch of the Ström Family, holds the reins of STRÖM CORPORATIONS & INDUSTRIES, a seemingly innocuous global shipping enterprise masking the family's true vocation: crafting occult weapons to combat and eliminate monsters and confront supernatural challenges. As a master Occult Weapon-smith, Erik takes immense pride in his ability to create the finest tools within the Occult Community, particularly for his immediate kin. He wears his mantle as a loving and protective father to Freyja with immense pride and tenderness. Furthermore, Erik has welcomed four nephews, Ragnar, Werner, Einar, and Gunnar, into his fold, raising them and integrating them into his workforce. He holds a special place in his heart for his grandson Cedrick, affectionately dubbing him "Zeddy." However, Erik's relationship with his son-in-law, Hr. Dr. Kasper, is marred by constant power struggles within the family. While his primary residence is the Ström Estate in Stockholm, Sweden, where the family's business thrives, Erik frequently joins his daughter's household and shares in their life together. #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #mangastyle #animeart #myheroacademia #koheihorikoshi #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #artoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artwork #originalart #originalcharacter #characterart #malecharacter #man

5/16 OCs: Einar Ström drawn in the style of YU-GI-OH! Einar stands as one of Freyja's four male cousins, positioned third in the line-up. Born to Sven, Erik's youngest sibling, and elder to Gunnar, Einar enjoys a special place in Freyja's heart, their shared interests notably including a passion for fashion and dressing up. Collaborating as co-hosts for the television show "FLASH FASHION," they display their shared flair, while in their family enterprise, Einar's purview is the financial domain. Openly embracing his identity, Einar identifies as gay, a truth that unfolded progressively alongside the stories of his siblings and cousins, who were all taken under the wing of Erik and Sonja after being estranged from the family estate due to their parents’ opposition to their grandfather Aki's decree that pronounced Freyja heir to STRÖM INDUSTRIES & CORPORATIONS. With an affinity for the finer things in life, Einar's penchant for opulence is well-known, as is his trail of relationships with various boyfriends through the years. In playful jest, he engages in harmless flirting with Johannes, a move intended to rib his cousin Freyja, though the nature of his connection with her husband remains a mystery. Einar also possesses a supernatural gift, enabling him to briefly manipulate thoughts and read minds, albeit at the price of enduring intense migraines for the remainder of the day. #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #mangastyle #kazukitakahashi #yugioh #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #prequel #prequelapp #artoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artwork #originalart #originalcharacter #characterart #malecharacter #man #suit #halftone

A little practice after almost 2 years being tortured by Duolingo - and I still think I’m no good.🥲 … Well, I’m actually doing good reading German and French, though spelling words without a Wörterbuch is a NIGHTMARE. 💀 Listening is a little hit-‘n-miss, but I’m able to understand some phrases without looking at the subtitles on Netflix. Each language has their quirk and frustrations (i.e. FRENCH with their stupid silent letters, GERMAN with split verbs and 3 “Genders”), but sometimes I’m having fun and blaze through my lessons with ease. (And for anyone wondering, yes I still write most of my notes in cursive - or what some jokingly call “Doctor Writings” because so many can’t read cursive at all these days and it looks a lot like a handwritten doctor’s prescription) - In Sigrid’s pic, some of her labels have Danish in red underneath the German showing how very similar those words are (makes sense since Denmark and Germany are right next to each other). My pics are also cutoff in order to fit the 4:5 ratio, so not everything is in frame (original format for both are 2:3). I had a lot of fun with each color scheme, one being warm and the other cool in tone (the pics are also complementary to each other). Both dress well, but being set in the 1980s Sigrid does poke fun at Richard by calling him “Old Man” wearing stuff from the previous decade (his true identity as Death actually makes him quite ancient at over 350,000 years old). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #art #drawing #artwork #originalartwork #originalart #artoninstagram #artworkoninstagram #artistoninstagram #animestyle #animeaesthetic #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #characterdesign #characterart #character #malecharacter #femalecharacter #man #girl #notes #fashion #clothes #clothing #german

It’s been so long since we’ve seen our cute Junior Grim Reaper… - I’ve been really burned out, my brain hasn’t been able to create, and I’m also getting prepared for my annual trek to Del Mar for work (thus I won’t be able to draw as much). - #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #animeartstyle #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #artwork #originalart #artoninstagram #originalcharacter #characterart #charcterdesign #character #malecharacter #boy #grimreaper #text #halftone #yellow #white #blond #fashion #clothes #scythe #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram

Back to the 1980s with Sigrid and Richard… As their relationship deepened, Richard found himself becoming more and more devoted to Sigrid, especially knowing that her life curse would prevent them from being together for long. He hoped to ease her heartbreak from her failed attempt of romance with her childhood crush Batty, and showered her with all the love and affection he could muster. Sigrid was taken aback by the intensity of his affection at first, but soon found herself craving it whenever Richard had to depart for work or his responsibilities as Death. The enchantress academy strictly forbade students from dating until after they graduate at around the age of 21, forcing Sigrid and Richard to keep their love a secret in public, minimizing their physical touch and conversations. But once they found themselves alone, they couldn't help but steal kisses and whisper declarations of their undying love to each other. The fear of being caught only added to the thrill of their secret love affair, making every stolen moment together all the more precious. - #digitalart #digitaldrawing #art #drawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #animestyle #prequelapp #prequel #motionleap #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #femalecharacter #malecharacter #couple #man #girl #woman #kiss #flowers #hydrangeas #red #blue #yellow #green #vhsaesthetic #1980saesthetic #artoninstagram

OC Tricia Williams with a selfie and boba tea. 🧋 Seeing some current Y2K fashion trends made me want to draw this quick pic (makes sense since she’s Gen Z who’s obsessed with anything dating between 198X-200X right now [Cedrick would actually be Gen Alpha, considering my OCs were originally supposed to be set in the 2030s]). I have a quick skit in mind with her teasing her substitute professor wearing JNCO Jeans and other Y2K stuff in his younger years (Hr. Dr. Kasper was his son Cedrick’s age in the late 1990s-2000s), but I haven’t gotten a chance to draw it yet - I’m still stuck in the 1980s with all the amazing fashion trends they had (90s and 2000s are a bit too close for me considering that was my entire childhood experience). #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #art #drawing #originalart #originalcharacter #teenager #girl #africanamerican #afro #afropuffs #black #pink #yellow #artistsoninstagram #artistoninstagram #artofinstagram #artoninstagram #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #boba #bobatea #y2k #y2kfashion #y2kaesthetic #2000s #2000saesthetics #2000sfashion

#sketchdump featuring Sigrid’s younger half-brother Torben & their father Samuel. Torben physically takes after his mother (blond hair & brown eyes), but has a similar sweet demeanor like his older sibling. He’s extremely attached to Sigrid, making him protective towards his classmates at the boys academy (many of them have crushes on her). He personally didn’t like Sigrid’s childhood crush Batty due to his overall cold behavior - especially towards Sigrid and children in general. On the other hand, Torben was more than happy meeting Richard seeing how well he treats Sigrid and would return lost balls & toys back to the neighborhood kids; he also thinks Grim Reapers are more interesting than Warlocks because they not only can use teleportation spells but also weapons to fight monsters & collect lost souls. Samuel is Denmark’s strongest Warlock; he appears to be a man in his 50s, but is over 200 years old & extends his lifespan through life curses, placing him under Death’s watchlist. Being a proud man, he cursed Sigrid mainly because she wasn’t born a son or even an Enchantress, but also because his daughter was born with a mutation that gave her so much more “Magical Potential” than any European Warlock on record. Because he cursed their daughter, Aina changed her name and left with Sigrid to set up her flower & oddities shop. Samuel soon remarried to the Enchantress headmistress Sarah, having Torben a few years later; because Sarah still wanted a daughter, he tolerated her request to allow Sigrid to attend her academy until the life curse takes effect. Samuel is suspicious of Richard not collecting Sigrid’s soul as her assigned Grim Reaper, but also because he’s the talk of Europe since becoming the new heir of the Kasper bloodline and is Europe’s most powerful man in the occult community; he hopes that there’s no romance between Richard & Sigrid in fear that any child born would replace him (it’s the reason why Sigrid’s death was set before her 20th birthday - making her so young to have a relationship). #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #drawing #drawings #frauv8_ocs #artistsoninstagram #characterart

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). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #characterdesign #charactersheet #femalecharacter #woman #frauv8_ocs #souls #voodoo #africanamerican #yellow #black #pink #blue #green #animestyle
