Who wants to be Number 400? It’s almost there... 🔜 Cedrick is such a dork. (like me😛) - When I first started here in Instagram back around 2017, I had less than 10 Followers. After millions (if not billions) of hours of making pics, I have all 399 of you to thank for putting up with my weirdness and keeping me motivated in working on this crazy project I’ve been doing since 2005-06. Your support is deeply appreciated!🥰 (It’s almost as old as my OC Cedrick...😱) Here’s to 450, 500, or daresay, to 1K? It’d probably take me another three years or more get there.😅 Once again to all of my Followers from all around the world: Thank You, Vielen Dank, Merci Beaucoup, Arigato, Mucho Gracias. I wouldn’t be this far without you.😘 —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #autodesksketchbook #comic #animestyle #originalcharacters #characterart #malecharacter #femalecharacter #boy #girl #teenagers #frauv8 #frauv8_ocs

A quick colored #digitalsketch of Cedrick and Freud. As for what he’s holding, it could be a book, or based on it’s dimensions, it could be a VHS tape from his father’s archives (Papa Kasper is a Millennial, so he grew up in the 90s during the age of tapes and CDs). - Cedrick is mostly wearing retro 80-90s clothing that probably was once Johannes Faustuz’s and Hansel’s back in the day (most likely Hansel’s because Faustuz was forced to wear his older cousin’s clothes until he got too tall and wore his uncle’s old clothes). Freud doesn’t get as much attention compared to the other two pets (Klimt and Frl. Flicka), but it’s probably because he’s such a troublemaker digging up Freyja’s garden and steals sandwiches from plates, landing him in the covered outdoor area of the house called the “Doghouse” (it’s also where Faustuz sleeps when he’s not in good favors with his wife Freyja). He was originally Papa Olaf’s dog until he was first diagnosed with dementia; Aunt Yoko didn’t want to take care of a yapping puppy, Hansel and Hannah don’t have enough time or space to take him, leaving Faustuz the only relative able to care for Freud. —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #drawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #characterart #character #malecharacter #boy #pet #dog

Another simple color scheme pic with these two guys.🤦🏻‍♀️ I really need to find more challenging color schemes, lol. This one is basically hues of green, red, yellow with black line art and white accents for the eyes and lab coat. I kept the coloring flat since the line art is dark and quite bold. The line art style is a bit reminiscent of my inking with Sharpies back in 2006-07. I included both versions of the line art for coloring (just tag @frauv8 #colorthis_fv8). - The second version with Papa Kasper’s hair up was my final choice because it seems more balanced with the blank space (original version on last slide). No glasses for either one of them since the frames will interfere with the limited details on their faces, and the pic isn’t big and zoomed in. As usual, Cedrick has his mismatched scrubs and shoes (pink slipper on one foot, Adidas Superstar on the other) while his father Johannes Faustuz is in dark grey scrubs topped with a lab coat and wears Puma Suedes. Both father and son also have heterochromia, which is hard to see since their eyes are so light-colored (zoomed in slides might show it better). —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #sketchbookautodesk #animestyle #originalcharacters #characterart #characterdesign #characterstudy #colorscheme #malecharacters #doctors #fatherson #frauv8_ocs #frauv8

When the odd left eye glows, either Cedrick or his father Johannes Faustuz knows that there’s a powerful nonhuman creature around. One in disguise and in need of medical attention would be very afraid to see a Kasper ready to perform surgery on them because it might be their last chance to be alive - but only if the creature was known to cause any serious trouble amongst humans. — Aside from being doctors, our current Kaspers are known to be researchers and killers of rouge creatures. Most creatures fear them, regular people see them as eccentric, while fellow families involved in the same business of the mythical and occult view them as scum and low-class due to their ancestors’ involvement with dark moments of history (ie. Black Plague, witch-hunting, bodysnatching, WW2). - It’s not really my best work, and I couldn’t choose between no glasses or wearing glasses. Also, Cedrick is being creepy AF in this pic, so I might shove this in the Archives eventually. —— #digitaldrawing #digitalart #drawing #ipaddrawing #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #doctor #mangastyle #animestyle #pixaloop #frauv8_ocs

Sleep deprivation will make you crazy...🤪 - It’s another color study/experiment. This is another one of my favorite color schemes since it’s vibrant but balanced - no vibrating edges, nice complimentary colors. It also has that popular yellow color that’s everywhere Fall/Winter 2019 fashion season. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #animestyle #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #colorstudy #animation #malecharacter #youngman #teenageboy #bowlcut #blond #doctor #scrubs #frauv8_ocs

Cedrick and his father Johannes Faustuz with hot drinks. What kind of drinks? Both Kasper guys are lactose intolerant, so most likely straight black coffee or soy versions of popular holiday drinks (the soy version of the peppermint mocha coffee latte is delicious). Where the Kaspers come from, Winter is cold, rainy, and often snowy. (It’s currently cold and raining were I live; it’s really feeling like Winter yet it’s still technically Autumn) - I used Pixaloop for the snow and breath/steam effects. —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #pixaloop #animestyle #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #man #teenageboy #fatherandson #holidayseason #winter #snow #frauv8_ocs

Without or with glasses? - Original version of Cedrick and Frl. Flicka together. It’s a more softer and painterly look than my usual tablet coloring. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #autodesksketchbook #animestyle #originalcharacter #characterart #malecharacter #glasses #blond #bowlcut #dog #doberman #dobermanpinscher #yellow #blue #red #frauv8 #frauv8_ocs

About a week ago I asked if there’s any fan art anyone would like me to draw, and here she is! She’s not exactly the same as the original in detail, but I’d say she has the same vibe. (@porkopti) - I know a lot of people just think I only draw my OCs, but it’s not always the case. I’ll do occasional DTIYS challenges, some fan art (whether it’s requested or out of whim), and rarely commissions. Doing challenges and requests allow me to interact with others as well as sharpen my skills and creativity as an artist. - Let me know what you think in the comments!👩🏻‍🎨 — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #autodesksketchbook #animestyle #characterart #fanart #femalecharacter #hatsunemiku #miku #mikuhatsune #racingmiku

Cedrick walking Frl. Flicka again, who has now become a living flamethrower. On Halloween, her true Hellhound form will be revealed; afterwards she’ll be back to being a normal dog until next Halloween. - Originally Cedrick was supposed to have his hair slicked back like his grandfather Erik Ström, but after adding on a beanie, he looks way better and proportionate with his bowlcut down (2nd slide has original idea). I must say that I really like his Autumn outfit here - it’s cute and looks comfy! ❤️🧣🥾🧦 — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #autodesksketchbook #animestyle #originalcharacter #characterart #malecharacter #dog #doberman #blue #frauv8 #frauv8_ocs

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

Pick your challenge: #dtiys_frauv8 #colorthisin_frauv8 - No deadlines. All entries will be featured as a story highlight. Feel free to look through my account for references. I await to see how you draw/color my OC Cedrick Kasper as a Necromancer Mage. 💀 (sadly, I don’t expect much interest and attention from this) - It’s the Kasper Fantasy Concept this time with Cedrick wearing his skull mask. Every Kasper Necromancer Mage has a skull mask they wear when performing rituals and spells. Cedrick’s mask resembles a goat/ram skull; his father Faustuz’s skull mask is that of a bird while his grandfather Richard/Death’s mask is a horse’s skull. Cedrick’s mask also has a crown indicating that he’s a prince since he’s the child of Princess Freyja and grandson of the Warrior King Erik Ström. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #animestyle #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #blackandwhite #mage #skull #dtiys #frauv8

Cedrick with his older second-cousins Elizabeth Keiko and Evangeline. - Evangeline “Eva” Kasper-Schmitt is Hansel’s oldest daughter, ten years older than Cedrick at age 25; she’s from Hansel’s second marriage to Martha Schmitt, a woman he dumped his first wife Greta Strauss for while in medical school. Eva is a very quiet young woman who has a passion for history and art; she’s very superstitious and religious, often distancing herself from the Kasper Family. She denies being able to see mythical creatures, but push comes to shove, Eva will only help the family by providing historical records of sightings. Eva has her father’s brown eyes and long dirty blonde hair like her mother. - Elizabeth Keiko “Leisa” Kasper-Müller is Hansel’s second daughter from his third marriage to Heidi Müller, another romantic interest he chased after being divorced from his second wife (Heidi ended up divorcing Hansel after an encounter with a headless horseman at the family estate in Kiel, not infidelity like the previous two wives). Leisa is seven years older than Cedrick at age 22. Leisa has heterochromia like Cedrick, but with one hazel-brown eye and the other the normal blue; her hair is a mix of her father’s dark brown and mother’s auburn. Unlike her older half-sister Eva, Leisa is very loud and energetic like their father Hansel; like Eva, she wants nothing to do with their father despite his unconditional love for his daughters. She’s into martial arts and weaponry, and is working as an intern for the Ströms. Leisa is eager to learn more about the Kasper legacy due to recent circumstances, often visiting Los Angeles to extract information from Johannes Faustuz and Cedrick to the point of annoyance. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #lineart #animestyle #originalcharacters #characterart #characterdesign #femalecharacters #malecharacter #frauv8_ocs

The Kasper Siblings: Hansel, Hannah, and Johannes Faustuz. All three are often nicknamed “Hans” due to their similar first names. - Hansel and Hannah are actual brother and sister; Johannes Faustuz is their younger cousin who was raised with them after his parents died. Growing up Hansel and Hannah weren’t particularly close with Faustuz since the age gap between them is a bit (Hansel is 8 years older; Hannah is 6 years older), but growing older they realize they actually like their younger cousin. Faustuz often gets random hugs whenever Hansel or Hannah miss their late father Heinrich due to his resemblance to him. Aunt Yoko never liked Faustuz; she has always been tough on him since he’s not her biological child and he had been chosen to be the next head of the Kasper Family whenever Olaf Kasper dies (the Kasper Siblings‘ grandfather, Yoko’s father-in-law). Because of this, Hansel and Hannah try their best to support their younger cousin by all means so he can take care of the family legacy. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #animestyle #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #family #cousins #siblings #frauv8 #frauv8_ocs

A repost of Freyja Ström in her #itsybitsyteenyweenyyellowpolkadotbikini with added effects.

It’s always the cutest Yōkai that are the most dangerous and powerful. - Normally Kappas and Hyōsubes are mischievous little things, but without their garden and pond at the Kasper’s estate, they’re desperate for water to stay alive. And they’re being very polite to Johannes Faustuz for some reason that’ll be revealed later. - I’ll make another “Wunderkind’s Notes” to explain what Kappas, Hyōsubes, and Garappas are (they’re close relatives just like Hansel, Hannah, and Johannes Faustuz). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #shower #yokai #kappa #hyosobe

“I always feel like somebody’s watching me~ And I have no privacy~” Cue the “Psycho” music🔪🚿 - Johannes Faustuz hasn’t been able to relax since coming back to the Kaspers’ home in Kiel. Not even the bathroom is safe. So what Yōkai would be drawn to the shower? - I used an app called Pixaloop to make the steam and running water. Let me know if you like me to make more pics with effects.🤗 — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #pixaloop #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #shower

Happy #nationalicecreamday! Here’s a scribble of Papa Kasper with Fräulein Flicka, followed by a drawing of Cedrick from last year. - Ice cream is one of my favorite things to eat, but it’s very bad for the waistline and tummy due to lactose intolerance. 🍨🍦🍧 - I’m still alive - just been super crazy busy with work and dealing with a car accident (my fault hitting a parked car; nobody was hurt). I’ll work on my current story regarding Tante Yoko’s Yōkai once I’m not so bogged down with life and get some needed rest (I’ve been working since July 12th, and the 21st is the last day of this work period; each day I’ve worked at least 8 hours, so I’m mentally exhausted). - This pic will eventually go to the archives, so save it if you like it. — #digitalsketch #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #icecream #man #dog

All three Kasper cousins are together again after a number of years. As for Aunt Yoko, she’s a no show. She doesn’t want part of this reunion despite needing help getting rid of Yōkai in the family house. - Yoko isn’t very attached to Johannes Faustuz after having to raise him alongside her own children, nor was she happy with the decision of the family’s patriarch choosing Faustuz to be the future head of the Kasper family despite being the youngest child. The main reason is that neither Hansel or Hannah inherited “Odin’s Eye,” which is expressed as having odd eyes; “Odin’s Eye” is a trait that allows the person to see a creature’s strengths and weaknesses in a glance, which is needed for the Kaspers’ family secret business of defeating monsters. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #malecharacters #femalecharacter #originalcharacterart #cousins
