2020 Autumn pic of the Kasper Family - masked and unmasked versions. So what’s inside the big brown bag? Who knows. It could be a bunch of extra hand sanitizer, masks, and gloves - or it could be an array of weapons for soul reaping and monster slaying. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #femalecharacter #originalcharacterart #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #family #man #woman #teenboy #father #mother #son #fashion #facemask #strawberryblonde #blonde #blond #yellow #blue #brown #black #white

Day 13: Suit 3 •White - It’s not often Hr. Dr. Kasper wears a sparkly white suit for an awards ceremony. The only white things he usually wears are socks, shirts, underwear, and lab coats. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #inktober #inktober2020 #clothing #outfit #outfitoftheday #digitalink

Day 7: Casual Outfit 2 •Buttoned T-Shirt •Slacks •Loafers - This is something even I would wear, lol. Except I’d be wearing Adidas sandals and Super Mario socks instead of loafers. I’m just too sloppy and lazy to make even casual looks elegant and stylish like this guy. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #inktober #inktober2020 #clothing #outfit #outfitoftheday #digitalink #digitalinktober #digitalinktober2020

It’s just Cedrick walking the family’s pet Hellhound/Doberman Frl. Flicka. The closer it gets to Halloween, the more she starts to show off her true form as a fire-breathing monster. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #teenboy #dog #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #animestyle

It’s been a long time since I posted something... I’m really burned out from work, having lack of sleep, and severely suffering from Artist Block. Even the fashion Richard and Sigrid are wearing are off-season... (it’s Fall now, but still feels like Summer) - This was a quick #charactersheet made using the new mini posing figures I bought from Amazon recently; the figures just happen to be the right height difference for these two (as well as Freyja and Faustuz), which is going to be a great help drawing OCs from now on. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #femalecharacter #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdesign

From the Scrap Pile: Richard and Sigrid — #autodesksketchbook #digitaldrawing #digitalart #ipaddrawing #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #man #woman #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart

Richard vs. Johannes Faustuz at the same age (23). - I haven’t done a #charactersheet of these two guys together, especially since Richard would not be alive when his son was 23. Next one I probably should draw is either one comparing Cedrick with his father and grandfathers (Cedrick has been told he looks just like Richard or a younger Erik) when they were his age (14-15), or Sigrid vs. Johannes Faustuz to show how much he takes after her (of the two, Faustuz really looks more like his mother but with his father’s coloring - especially with his hair long). These can be a lot of fun to draw when looking at fashion over time and making sure some slight details are showing (Faustuz has the same hairline as his mother, Richard’s nose is slightly upturned, etc.) — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #malecharacter #malecharacters #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #autodesksketchbook #characterdesign #fatherandson #fatherson

From the “Scrap Pile”: The Kasper Siblings: Hansel, Hannah, and Johannes Faustuz. - Hansel and Hannah never were close with Faustuz due to their large age gap (8 years and 6 years respectively), and thought of him as the reason of their beloved “Auntie Sigrid’s” death when he was born; this gets compounded when Richard dies almost a year later from being overwhelmed with illness, raising a son on his own, and work abroad in Africa as an Epidemiologist. Even Faustuz’s physical appearance alienated him from his older cousins since he’s not half Japanese like they are, making people question whether if he’s a result of an affair when he’s the orphaned son of their father’s younger brother (making his relationship with his aunt Yoko complicated). All these factors put a strain on their relationship as siblings. But after the death of Heinrich in 1992, Hansel and Hannah slowly grew to accept their younger cousin and enjoy his presence since he reminds them of their father - especially when he becomes an adult and takes after Heinrich’s no-nonsense mindset (as well as Sigrid’s kindness and Richard’s devotion). Because he’s tall and blond like Heinrich, occasionally Hansel and Hannah get the feels and have the urge to hug Faustuz out of nostalgia for their father. Whenever Faustuz returns to Kiel and works at the hospital performing surgery, he’s accompanied with his oldest cousin Hansel as his nurse (Hannah owns restaurants around the world and Yoko still works as a librarian with Hansel’s oldest daughter Evangeline; there’s more distant relatives in the Kasper Family who’ll be mentioned whenever). — #digitalart #autodesksketchbook #digitaldrawing #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #siblings #family #frauv8_ocs

Crazy what a difference a year can be... - After a long shift at work at the hospital, Tyrone and Johannes Faustuz would often hit the bar for a beer or two to relax. Since COVID-19 hit, the two can no longer hangout with Tyrone still working at the hospital and Faustuz indefinitely furloughed (now working at home as a substitute professor). But timed right, Tyrone and Faustuz find a moment to share a toast and chat online. - •Side Note: TBH, I kinda envy my OCs because I don’t have close friends; since leaving school and other factors (I’d rather not mention out loud), I’ve lost contact with past friends and pen pals over the years, only having immediate family, my husband, and coworkers to keep me company (in other words, I’ve been living the quarantine life even before it was a thing, lol). So drawing and interacting with others on IG are integral to keeping the mind off the loneliness and boredom during this tough time; if I can entertain and inspire others here, then my work is worth it. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #malecharacters #friends #originalcharacters #comic #animestyle #2019vs2020

Floral Shirt & Strawberry Dress. (idk what their son would wear if it’s the whole family, lol) Also a combination of hard and soft brushes (still prefer hard brushes because it’s the closest thing to drawing with an actual pen in sketchbooks). The color scheme also screams California (it’s literally these colors year-round, especially SoCal). - This was originally was supposed to be another Bio 101 highlight pic with Freyja making a surprise appearance as Hr. Dr. Kasper is teaching his online class cell division/reproduction (awkward), but it got more detailed over time and turned out like this. ——— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #autodesksketchbook #animestyle #originalcharacters #characterart #femalecharacter #malecharacter #couple #green #yellow #pink #fashion #floralshirt #strawberrydress #blonde #blond #manbun #frauv8_ocs

“Come on~ I know you wanna play, Ricky~” - Richard and his older brother Heinrich. Despite their five year difference and clashing personalities, Ricky and Dickie are very attached to each other. Since their mother Ida left their father Olaf for a younger lover when Heinrich was 9 and Richard was barely 4, the two brothers do everything they can to keep their broken family together. As the older brother, Heinrich always kept a watchful eye on Richard while keeping up with duties as the family heir; on the other hand, Richard was oblivious of his brother’s surveillance and was always out to cause trouble (mainly sneaking into forbidden territory and chasing after pretty girls). But everything changed when Heinrich fell in love while on a business trip to Hiroshima, Japan; against family expectations, Heinrich married a foreign woman named Yoko Kobayashi. Because none of his two children inherited “Odin’s Eye”, Heinrich was stripped of his title as heir, forcing the family legacy and duties onto Richard, the son Olaf always saw as “an obnoxious extra mouth to feed” and the reason why Ida left the family. Despite adoring his brother’s family, Richard had lashed out on Heinrich numerous times for the responsibilities thrusted onto him. Olaf had even arranged a potential bride for Richard, but she had shown her cruel nature towards Yoko and the children which immediately broke off the engagement (he left Sheila out in the rain with her shopping bags after seeing her treating Yoko like a servant). About a year later while on a mission in Copenhagen, Richard encounters a teen girl named Sigrid, shocking the whole family when he marries her, bears the next family heir, and dies soon afterwards from heartbreak and illness (Sigrid died after giving birth, making him inconsolable and unable to handle the stress of raising his son alone). In a cruel turn of fate, Heinrich was forced to resume his family duties and raise his nephew Johannes Faustuz as future heir of the Kasper legacy. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #originalcharacters #malecharacters #brothers #men #frauv8_ocs

Another point of view of “The Doghouse”. I couldn’t choose which version, so I just put all three in one post with the line art (4 slides total). - With Freyja using his personal study for her live videos and blogs, Hr. Dr. Kasper teaches Biology 101 using an old iPad Pro with Zoom in the indoor patio room where all the critters and houseplants reside (both agreed that their bedroom is a place that stays private). It’s almost a 💯% guarantee that at least one critter will make an appearance during class sessions, especially the family cat Klimt. See if you can find: •Faustuz’s favorite mug •Tricia Williams •Fritz the Wolpertinger •A Dachshund •A Doberman •Richard and Sigrid •A cell diagram •A copy of Freyja’s magazine — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #drawing #ipaddrawing #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #lineart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #man #cat #houseplants #desk #room #mangastyle #animestyle #blackandwhite #color frauv8_ocs

It’s Papa Kasper’s turn to work at home as a Biology 101 professor in place of Vinnie DeValeur (Prof. DeValeur has some family matters in France at this time). And like Freyja, Faustuz has his moments with the cat, their son, and technology (in this case, rolling blackouts due to the extreme weather here in California). If I have to make another one of these shorts, it’d be Papa Ström constantly asking for help since he’s not very tech savvy. - •BONUS OC FACTS: Now we know what Cedrick’s middle name is, lol. “Magnus” was the original name Richard wanted for Faustuz, but Sigrid hated it and wanted a more formal and traditional name. When Sigrid died after giving birth, Richard kept her wish by naming their son “Johannes Faustuz”; knowing this story, Faustuz made it Cedrick’s middle name. Cedrick got his name because it means “loving ruler” from the Celtic word “Cariad” meaning “Love”, and root “-rik/ric/rich” meaning “King” (just like Erik, Richard, and Heinrich - all important family members to the Kaspers and Ströms). Cedrick’s mother Freyja is also a big fan of literature, so it’s also a nod to “Ivanhoe”, “Little Lord Flauntleroy”, and of course, “Harry Potter”. ——— #digitaldrawing #digitalart #drawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #femalecharacter #malecharacter #man #boy #cat #chibi #chibistyle #kawaii #cute #stayhome #workfromhome #workathome #frauv8_ocs

Going back to Late Summer 1979 with Richard and Sigrid (Faustuz’s parents). It’s hard to say which “package” poor Sigrid is looking at. Maybe the Tiffany blue box? 😅 - Soft brushes again... 😑 I prefer using hard brushes when drawing and coloring because it feels more finished and pops out more compared to soft brushes. It’s actually easier to color and shade with soft brushes since they blend into each other, but there’s something about using hard brushes and halftone when I’m coloring and shading... Oh well - it’s more practice with the anti-characteristics of my artwork. (Segway: My “Artist Bend” challenge is still a thing - go visit the Highlight for more information) —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #characterdesign #characters #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #fashion #red #white #blue #frauv8_ocs

Soft pencil and marker brushes with pastel colors this time; not my forte, but it’s good practice. Also looks like Papa Kasper’s glasses are fogging up, but at least the Herr Doktor and his son are wearing their masks correctly over their mouths and noses. 🚨RANT ALERT 🚨 Don’t ask how many people at work I see that don’t cover their noses. NOSES ARE VIRAL SUPER-SPREADERS! COVER THEM UP! 😷 Seriously - we had all the scientific proof that masks, hand washing, social distancing, and lockdowns worked a century ago with the 1918 (NOT F-CKING 1917!) Pandemic, so we should of bagged COVID-19 in months (the 1918 Pandemic took 2 years to recover from, but keep in mind they didn’t have any of the medical tech we have so millions got sick and died; had we done all the things to reduce a pandemic early on, we probably wouldn’t have as many people sick and dead). But at the rate things are going with idiots running around in the world, it’s going to be YEARS before it’ll be “normal” again. (phew - that’s my ranting for a while 😤) It’s just frustrating seeing everything I’ve learned from Biology classes during the H1N1 and Ebola epidemics happening all over again but in a much bigger and worse scale - and there’s not much I can do about it but do my part wearing my masks, washing my hands, staying home whenever I don’t have work, and sharing the words of Dr. Fauci. ——— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #animestyle #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #pink #blue #yellow #pastelcolors #pastelcolours #malecharacter #man #teenboy #fatherandson #fashion #glasses #facemask #bowlcut #manbun #frauv8_ocs

Dickie, I’m so sorry that I made you kinda look like a botched Arnie. At least he has a cool “Jojo Pose”...😭 Seriously not my best work, either one of them. I had another idea in mind when I started, but it’s late and I’m tired... (I’ll just make it into a comic page if I get back to the idea). Gawd I feel worthless after drawing this... - •OC INFO: Richard’s nickname is “Dickie”, not “Ricky” or “Richie”; his older brother Heinrich’s nickname is actually “Ricky”, not “Henry” as expected. Sigrid calls him “Dick” as a jab on his playboy ways, even after they’ve become a couple for life. - This won’t be my only take on the #artstylebend challenge going on (my challenge is good until the 23rd). The next pic based off the prompt could be a female OC since female bodies are obviously not the same as males. And drawing only using soft brushes is not easy (coloring with soft brushes, on the other hand, is actually easier than hard shading/lighting for me). This just shows that even I can still suck at drawing.😫 —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #animestyle #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #1980sactivewear #frauv8_ocs
