Another #sketchdump of Richard and Sigrid. • Richard often helps Sigrid with her schoolwork; occasionally when he’s out shopping for work supplies and books, he might find a couple notebooks/journals/diaries his girlfriend would like using since they’re plain and have blank pages for her to doodle notes. • Aina loved seeing her daughter Sigrid and Richard finally becoming a couple; they stayed together despite the academy’s strict rules about dating, Richard’s true identity as Death and background as a foreigner, and the large age gap. It was when the timer from Sigrid’s curse went off Richard was forced to separate from her, tearing out her soul only days after she gave birth to their son. • Since the arcade owner is a close friend of her mother’s, Sigrid is allowed to take home some of his apples. She’s tall for a teenage girl, but not quite tall enough to reach the top branches of his tree; both she and the arcade owner are appreciative whenever Richard is around to pick the apples hardest to reach (Batty, on the other hand, gets upset seeing a stranger helping his father when he has time to help himself). • Richard often gets playful when showing his affections for Sigrid; she’ll get embarrassed if it’s too much affection, but gets upset if he’s not around for long periods of time - if he’s gone for too long, Sigrid would start crying and worry that he had been injured during his travels or had reverted back to his true form as Death Himself. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #comic

Sigrid often hid amongst plants during Richard’s visits to her mother Aina’s flower shop. At first she was cautious with him based on his horrible reputation and checkered past, and not happy with her mother constantly trying to push her to instantly liking Richard (Sigrid’s aloof and shy, preferring to take her time to get adjusted with new places and people). But as she got accustomed to his weekly visits and started talking with him about their shared interests in arcade games and movies, the two became close as if they were siblings - which quickly grew into love. — #mentalcanvasdraw #mentalcanvas #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipaddrawings #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #femalecharacter #man #girl #plants #leaves #flowers

Finally finished after staying up super late last night into the morning light, and dabbling on it some more in the afternoon and evening. 😮‍💨 It’s a different type of art style I felt like trying out, and I dabbled with #mentalcanvas to move around the image layers. - Initially Sigrid was cautious of Richard with his reputation as a cruel Reaper, the youngest son from an ostracized family, and promiscuous heartbreaking playboy. Sigrid would often hide amongst the plants in the storage room in her mother’s flower shop or in the greenhouse and quietly observe Richard whenever he’s visiting taking care of assigned chores, killing Tatzelwurms and other pests, or picking up ingredients for experimental medicine (his day job is an epidemiologist attempting to treat illnesses caused by curses; his real job is collecting marked souls as Death Himself). But as she got to know him more and was used to his weekly visits, Sigrid would start watching Richard with admiration and curiosity like that of a younger sister that grew into romantic love - often getting embarrassed and flustered whenever she’s been caught doing so (especially by her mother Aina, who’d constantly tease her until she fesses up her feelings; Richard would pat her head and laugh before giving her a kiss on the forehead, making her blush even more). — @mental_canvas #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipaddrawings #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #mentalcanvasdraw #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #malecharacter #femalecharacter #man #girl #garden #plants #leaves #flowers #flowerpots #green #black #brown #yellow #blue #red #white #orange #grey #gray

Sigrid manages to keep a Tatzelwurm away from her mother Aina using the new repellent, but not without getting a few bites and scratches before grabbing the squirt bottle. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #femalecharacter #woman #girl #tatzelwurm #garden #comic

Richard normally would enjoy getting attention from Sigrid, but being naked and covered with countless Tatzelwurm bites and scrapes, he feels extremely vulnerable - making him embarrassed, sensitive, and jumpy around her. Sigrid was also not initially happy dealing with him locked up in the bathroom whenever she needed to freshen up before working in her mother’s flower shop; she quickly got used to seeing a nude Richard and helped heal his wounds with sample ointments she and Aina made with their plants. Richard hates dealing with Tatzelwurms because of how vicious and destructive they are; he also hates them because he always ends up being a bloody mess after getting rid of them - which led to the invention of his Tatzelwurm repellent. Since he’d be covered and dripping with so much blood, Aina would force him to strip down and rinse off before being kept in the family bathroom to prevent him from staining her rugs inside her flower shop; at the meantime Aina would wash his clothes and hang them out, hoping they’ll be dry before Sigrid returned home from school. But sometimes Sigrid was back before his clothes were done and he was still disinfecting his wounds out in the backyard, which led to awkward moments between the two - especially before they were officially a couple. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #frauv8_ocs #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #comic

Another #sketchdump with extra notes. I haven’t been able to think up of much with the lack of energy and feeling bogged down… - • Sigrid and Richard often watch movies late at night at the theater for dates. They have similar tastes in genres, but occasionally they’ll butt heads deciding which movie to watch. Also, Richard’s actually wearing something new for once (though he still prefers his tailored bell bottoms over straight legged jeans). • Sigrid sees a photo of Richard when he was about her age. He was a very popular boy in school who enjoyed playing sports (especially football/soccer), singing in choir, and dating girls only to shatter their hearts for fun (how he got the nickname “Playboy Dick”). It wasn’t until after meeting Sigrid he felt pity and a constant desire to take care of her to make up for his eventual taking of her soul (which added to the cause of Richard’s lovesickness). • Richard isn’t a fan of cats due to their antics and numerous lives, but he’s developed a slow liking to Hedy and Odin as they show him affection and gift him souls they managed to capture. (his girlfriend also loves cats, so …) • Sigrid is a bit tomboyish and occasionally likes dressing in gym clothes to make some of her tasks easier. She also works hard to grow rare plants such as mandrakes for their helpful properties and to prove the ancient knowledge she and her mother Aina have isn’t inferior to other magic users. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #notes #autodesksketchbook #frauv8_ocs #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #malecharacter #femalcharacter #couple #man #girl #cat #plant #red #blue #green #yellow #pink #purple #violet #white

Another #sketchdump with extra notes… • Aina, Sigrid, and Richard together in his rickety old red 1969 VW Beetle. Aina loved teasing her daughter and Richard, trying her best to get the two hook up quickly - which didn’t go so well at first (Sigrid only started liking Richard without her mother around to push them together - she hates being rushed though she didn’t have many years left due to her curse). • Richard at the time in the 1980s was really into computers and other miscellaneous technology. For a fun project, he tried making his own computer system with random items tossed out in junkyards and thrift shops - which he ended up using to help count his daily quota of souls when he returned to his true self as Death. • Sigrid was actually surprised how many movies Richard had watched and liked almost all of the same genres as he did - including Romance (Richard actually cries watching Romance films; he’s really sensitive underneath his scary appearance as a Reaper). Because of their shared love of film and games, the two started out having a kind of Big Brother/Little Sister relationship that grew from there. •Since their one night together, they became inseparable until Richard had to return to home in Kiel or travel overseas for clients/patients. Because Sigrid’s school prohibits dating and people don’t like Richard as a foreigner, they kept their affection to a minimum in public until their relationship was exposed. •After being together for almost two years, Sigrid’s life curse takes final effect; but days before her soul was removed, she gives birth to their only child Johannes Faustuz. Aina constantly mentions how he eats, cries, talks, and even sleeps was just like Sigrid when she was a baby, but most people just focus on how much he looks his father and use that fact to carry their dislike of Richard onto him (Richard had a notorious reputation as a doctor and Reaper when he was human). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #notes #autodesksketchbook #frauv8_ocs #characterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #malecharacter #femalcharacter #couple #baby #man #girl #woman #red #blue #green #yellow #pink #purple #violet

2021’s holiday kiss.😘 - Freyja and her husband Hr. Dr. Kasper have been sharing a holiday kiss each year since I’ve been active on Instagram.

Another #sketchdump of Sigrid and Richard… • Often whenever Aina’s too busy with work at her flower shop, the weather’s bad, or if she really wants to play matchmaker (which was most of the time), she’ll ask Richard to pick up Sigrid from school. Initially Sigrid hated it, but when it means not having to deal with bullies, not riding her bike over five miles one way, a free trip to the university library, and some rounds at the arcade, she quickly took the offer. And as their relationship grew, Sigrid looked forward to having conversations about the latest video games and reaching over to eject his disco cassettes to listen to the latest hits on the radio (Sigrid mostly loves Synth-Pop). • Sigrid studies really hard - she’s the top student at her academy despite not being a “pure” enchantress (she and Aina can’t cast spells on their own and have to rely on plants). But she has her struggles - she’s not very good with English and Mathematics, and if she’s overwhelmed, Sigrid will fall asleep. Whenever she gets to study at the university library, Richard often helps her with her homework. • Sigrid grew more attached to Richard as he continued to visit Aina’s flower shop over the months, occasionally staying overnight if he’s unable to get to his rented hotel room during his travels. It got more difficult when they officially became a couple having a long distance relationship and Richard constantly called overseas. • Sigrid does get a little too curious about what Richard does for a living (besides collecting souls as Death’s incarnation). Richard is an epidemiologist who treats people with diseases caused by curses (Sigrid has a life curse, so naturally he was drawn to her); one of his patients was Freyja’s mother Sonja who was cursed by a troll and slowly dying as she gradually turns to stone. Because of his numerous attempts to make treatments for her condition, Richard has been called a “Quack” by Erik. — #frauv8_ocs #frauv8ocs #originalcharacterart #originalcharacters #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #animestyle #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #man #girl #blue #red #green #pink #purple #comic
