Which lighting looks the best? 1, 2, 3, or 4? (4 is the same as the one without characters sans Soft Light layer effects) - It’s Freyja and Johannes Faustuz’s bedroom. Either they’re getting dressed up for the day or undressed for the night - you decide.😏 - Originally I planned on using a reddish-brown for the line art, but the blue just adds the right amount of pop for the details. And of course I had fun with the Soft Light layerings - thus I have a hard time choosing which one to put first on the post. I’ll have the full versions up on my Highlights since the original isn’t square format. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #animestyle #originalcharacter #characterart #malecharacter #man #femalecharacter #woman #couple #bedroom #interior #frauv8 #frauv8_ocs

It’s still a #wip. Still needs more lighting and shading. It’s not as detailed as the last one, but it’s still quite a bit of work. - It’s Freyja and Johannes Faustuz’s bedroom this time. Either they’re getting dressed up for the day or undressed for the night - you decide.😏 — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #animestyle #originalcharacter #characterart #malecharacter #man #femalecharacter #woman #couple #bedroom #interior #frauv8 #frauv8_ocs

The Kaspers’ home office at night. ✨ The second page looks like Johannes Faustuz either caught his son Cedrick out past his curfew... or the Herr Doktor is secretly planning how to kill you. - This was a challenging piece to make: the details, coloring, and especially the lighting/shading. But it was also fun adding the items reflecting the family’s side job in dealing with mythical creatures and the occult (the jarred Meerjungfrau, fairy skulls, eyeballs). All three family members are avid readers, and there’s multiple languages featured in their titles (German, Swedish, English, Japanese) as well as various subjects related to their day jobs. There are also heirlooms that shows the Kasper Family have a dark history (alchemy, inquisition, WW2). Kaspers over the ages had always been advisors, scientists, and soldiers willing to serve to obtain and share their knowledge by all means - even if it crosses moral lines. Faustuz and Cedrick know the sins of their ancestors, and the heirlooms are painful reminders to not go down that path for the sake of their work. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #sketchbookautodesk #pixeloop #animestyle #originalcharacter #characterart #malecharacter #man #interior #desk #shelfs #frauv8

Papa Ström returns!🧔🏼 - Papa Ström and Cedrick have arrived at Kiel to transport the Yōkai back to California, only to find out Aunt Yoko suddenly wants to keep them. Johannes Faustuz is having a meltdown seeing these two with dueling emotions - fear of his father-in-law, and disappointment towards his son. I should draw the poor guy’s expression for the next page, lol. But again, it’s up to the Yōkai whether they want to stay or not; it’s also been about three days since Garappa laid her egg, so it should be hatching pretty soon. - Erik Ström is one of my favorite OCs: he’s a bad-ass Grandpa with a tough exterior, but melts like butter when it comes to family- especially for his daughter Freyja and grandson Cedrick. Papa Ström is from a long proud line of Viking warriors and weapon makers, making him an expert on what to use in killing mythical creatures gone rouge; he’s still baffled by Freyja’s attraction to Johannes Faustuz Kasper, a descendant of doctors who have a dark secret of experimentation for the sake of knowledge and sharing it with people of power (medieval times they were involved with alchemy; in the 18th century, dissecting of bodies of criminals; in WWII, they provided knowledge of the occult and kept records of experiments). Because of this background, Erik Ström often calls the Herr Doktor a “Quack” and not worthy of his daughter’s love. But he owes Faustuz a lot - he saved Freyja from being married off to his business partner Sigmund, who was actually a mythical creature called Bluebeard disguised as a human (Erik was under the spell of the creature). It’s a possible comic idea, but it’d be a tough one to get done (I’m already having a hard time getting this one wrapped up). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #frauv8

Well... it’s another #dtiyschallenge pic. I had a story slide up a few days ago with 6 options for me to draw, and this was the only one picked out.😅 (I really do like to pay attention to what my followers have to say; my last pic’s comment mentioned they liked the yellow background for Cedrick and Faustuz, so my next OC pic most likely will be done in yellow) - This one is by @soniastegemann to celebrate 40K. #soniadtiys40k - I’ll have the story slide up in the third page for you to decide which #dtiys pic to draw next time (I just did 5️⃣). Soon I’m not able to draw as much with work starting to get busy for the summer meet, so I’m trying to cram in as much pics in the next few days. — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #pink #femalecharacter #girl #soniastegemann

Something summery and 90s-inspired with Cedrick, Tricia, and Carmen. - Tyrone likes to shoo Cedrick away with his niece Tricia every time she shows up wanting extra allowance money for boba drinks and mall shopping. Tricia and Carmen don’t like Cedrick hanging around not only because he’s a boy, but he’s very awkward and can be a bit of an annoying walking encyclopedia spouting facts in relation to whatever they’re doing. The only reason why they keep him around is that he has a lot of allowance money - so mean.😑 — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #femalecharacters #teenagers #boy #girls #pink

Another character sheet: Freyja and Vincent-Claude - These two are rarely seen together for many reasons. Aside from not working in the same region in the world and working in different fields of interests, the Herr Doktor does his best to keep Vincent-Claude far away from his wife - Vinnie can be a bit of a womanizer. His latest obsession is Kimiko Abe, trying his best to woo her despite her rejections; but that doesn’t stop him from looking up and flirting with another female at whim. - Vincent-Claude is the son of Dr. Leyon DeValeur, Director of the hospital where the Kaspers work; he also works at the university as an Archeology and Biology professor. He’s not as familiar with the obscure and occult as the Kaspers, but as an Archeologist he’s able to obtain some artifacts if Erik is unable to provide a modern equivalent. - Freyja is a fashion supermodel who also works as a magazine editor and TV show host (think Heidi Klum with “Project Runway”); she’s also the heiress to the Ström Company run by her father Erik, wife to her childhood sweetheart, and mother to a teenage son. Under the facade of all those things, Freyja follows her father’s footsteps in being knowledgeable about mythical weaponry; she joins her husband and son when they need support and backup. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #lineart #characters #originalcharacters #malecharacter #man #femalecharacter #woman #charactersheet #characterdesign #characterstudy #frauv8_ocs

Papa Ström and Papa Kasper. - They never quite see each other eye to eye - figuratively and literally (maybe when Johannes Faustuz was Cedrick’s age he was the same height as Erik). Erik always thought of the Herr Doktor as weak, scrawny, and a pushover; Faustuz thinks of his father-in-law as insensitive, stubborn, and a bully. Despite their disagreements, they both love Freyja and Cedrick very much - sometimes to the point they’ll fight each other for their family’s affection. The one thing Erik will admit about Faustuz is that he’s an honorable man of his word and hard worker; likewise, Faustuz respects his father-in-law being more experienced with life in general. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #characters #originalcharacters #malecharacters #men #charactersheet #characterdesign #characterstudy #frauv8_ocs

Character Sheet: Cedrick and Tricia bickering as usual. - They’re not a cute couple as people often assume but rather behave more like siblings since Cedrick’s father and Tricia’s uncle work together; thus they have no choice but to see each other often. Tyrone wishes Tricia would like and date Cedrick, but Tricia has another boy from school in mind. Cedrick could care less about dating girls at his stage of life, but does occasionally get concerned for Tricia for making risky decisions affecting her well-being in the long run because he cares as a friend. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #characters #originalcharacters #malecharacter #femalecharacter #charactersheet #characterdesign #characterstudy #frauv8_ocs

It’s another #drawthisinyourstyle challenge pic, this time by @abbirelly and @artezaofficial. Since she does her work with traditional media, I felt like I should do the same. She’s a popular artist, and I didn’t use digital media so I don’t expect this pic getting much likes and views (another reason why I avoid popular #dtiys challenges - I’m not “good enough” in Instagram to get attention). I also included WIP pics, a page of the media I used to make this, and the original challenge pic just to show that I didn’t intend for this character to look like my own female Elf character Sigrid. - Comment below to let me know what other drawing challenges you want me to do - you can even suggest your own. — #abbiredraw #redraw #drawing #crayolamarkers #platinumpreppy #ecolinebrushpen #unipencil #mastermarkers #traditionalmedia #femaleelf #yellowflowers #purplehair #yellow #purple #green #pink #orange

Today I just went with the first #drawthisinyourstyle challenge that appeared on my feed, and it was @pernilleoerum’s #drawthispernille challenge. I try not to do anything uber popular because I want to draw ones by lesser known artists for obvious reasons (less of them, plus give them some attention and love). But hey, what can I do when I was already committed in doing whatever challenge that first shows up.😑 - Feel free to suggest any other challenges down in the comments if you want me to draw another one. — #drawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #girl #woman #female #femalecharacter #longhair #white #pink #cyan #dtiys
