#sketchdump - just testing out the color palettes I made for skin and hair tones since Autodesk Sketchbook updated on my iPad. I still struggle a bit with skin tones, especially dark ones (medium skin tones are the easiest; fair skin tones can be tricky because if it’s too dark it pretty much becomes medium skin). As for hair tones, blond and grey hair are actually the hardest for me - dark hair like Tricia’s are the most easiest to color. So to say which OCs were the easiest to draw here? That’ll be Sigrid, Freyja, Kimiko, Vincent-Claude, and others with similar coloring (Freyja is also fun to draw realistically because she has freckles; Cedrick is still by far the easiest OC to draw based on design). Feel free to comment below to say which OC you like best. 🤗 — #frauv8_ocs #frauv8ocs #originalcharacterart #originalcharacters #characterdesign #characterart #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #drawing #ipaddrawing #animestyle #malecharacter #femalecharacter #man #girl #woman #boy #blue #green #orange #yellow #red #pink #white #black #grey #gray #brown

Another #sketchdump… Took awhile to finish this due to being busy with work and feeling lazy/tired/uninspired the past several days. •Sigrid likes dressing up in shorts & tanks when she’s not wearing school uniforms/dresses; when it’s nighttime she gets cold since she forgets to bring a sweater/jacket. Since Richard appeared, he’s been lending his coats which smells like Calvin Klein Obsession (Sigrid thought he’d stink with all the monsters & souls he hunts). •Hedy (Sigrid’s home room teacher/neighbor Mr. Vannderhassen’s cat) loves sneaking into Aina’s greenhouse for naps and visits with Odin (the neighborhood stray tomcat). As much as Sigrid and her mother love cats, their neighbor often accuses Aina of stealing his cat and is upset seeing a another man with Sigrid. •Richard gets calls from Aina at his office in Kiel about Tatzelwurms; they’re weasel/snake-like creatures that burrow underground & drawn to valuable crops (Aina grows flowers, shrubs, and herbs). He’ll get bloodied with scratches and bites killing them, which leads to stains on Aina’s floors; to prevent them, she’d force Richard to strip off his clothes and rinse off all the blood before getting locked in the bathroom until the laundry was done. •Sigrid relaxing after a doctor’s appointment; both know they’re expecting a boy but not sure if he’ll look like his mother or father (Johannes Faustuz ended up looking a lot like Richard). •Faustuz was able to see souls when he was about 3-6 months old; one soul would be floating nearby which scared him; it was his mother’s soul Richard keeps around for sentimental reasons after removing it from Sigrid’s body (Death keeps a special collection of souls of people he loved). •Aina has a hard time telling her grandson about his parents, esp. since it was Richard as Death who took Sigrid’s soul out; because of this, Faustuz grew up hating his father. — #frauv8_ocs #frauv8ocs #originalcharacterart #originalcharacters #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #drawing #ipaddrawing #animestyle #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #man #girl #woman #boy #baby #blue #green #orange #yellow #red #pink #white #black #grey #gray #brown

#sketchdump with a lot of OCs at once…😶 • Asia’s not happy with her hubby Tyrone having a hangover after having several drinks the night before with his “work spouse” Hr. Dr. Kasper. • Cedrick noticed Stern wasn’t in her fishbowl; since she’s so tiny and prone to drying out after long periods of time, he’s panicking trying to find her (she most likely crawled into a hot cup of tea sitting out in the kitchen). • Freyja is all dressed up for a red carpet event; she’s caught off guard with someone asking where “Mr. Ström” is for the night. • Some random guy at the local sports bar made fun of Johannes Faustuz drinking a pink cocktail, calling him a “Girly Man”. Kaspers are known to be extremely vengeful when insulted, so in retaliation Faustuz challenges him to a drinking contest - whoever drinks the most pink cocktails wins. Tyrone knows his coworker can tolerate a lot of alcohol, but he’s scared of the other guy getting hurt as well as explaining to Asia his whereabouts late at night. • Sigrid and Richard out on a rare daytime date in the 1980s. Most of their dates were at night to avoid people they know who don’t approve of their relationship, but if they want to eat out and play the latest arcade games on the same day then they have to plan a date for an earlier time. — #frauv8_ocs #frauv8ocs #originalcharacterart #originalcharacters #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #drawing #ipaddrawing #animestyle #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #men #man #girl #woman #boy #blue #green #yellow #red #pink #white #purple #violet #black

Another #sketchdump… 🖊 About each drawing: • Freyja loves using her husband’s glasses as a fashion accessory. That’s why Johannes Faustuz has so many styles and pairs of them - and because he has so many, he always has a spare pair to see (his right green eye is nearly blind unless it’s activated). • Faustuz doesn’t like buying new clothes if it’s avoidable, especially for expensive items (he rather spend the money for a date night with Freyja or on treats for the many creatures the family has at home). Luckily he inherited some stuff from his father Richard that he actually likes to wear, such as watches, rings, and suits (Richard bought a few Armani suits in the 1980s to impress Sigrid). • Freyja and Faustuz are notorious for staying out late after their dinner dates (for obvious reasons - mainly to get time away from work and their son Cedrick), often upsetting Erik when they finally get home around dawn (he’s always going to be a protective father for his daughter no matter how old she is). — #malecharacter #femalecharacter #man #woman #couple #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #characterstudy #characterdesign #characterart #character #characters #frauv8_ocs #frauv8ocs #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #drawing #ipaddrawing #ipaddrawings

Papa Kasper and son’s fantasy versions, including past drawings going all the way back to 2017. - Johannes Faustuz wears something that resembles a mage and plague doctor; Cedrick wears something like an imperial military uniform (he was conscripted to join The Mad King Erik’s elite naval guard). Both are skilled in magic, making potions, treating illnesses and injuries, and Necromancy - something only descendants of Death and Blood Elves know. —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #characterdesign #charactersheet #fantasy #fantasyart #malecharacter #blond #skull #ghost #frauv8_ocs

Quick drawing featuring Freyja Ström-Kasper in her fantasy Viking princess form. You don’t want to mess with this mama and her family in this alternative universe. - Included are pics of her in her fantasy version over the years, going back to 2017. As for her hubby and their kiddo… I might draw their fantasy versions another time when I’m not feeling so bleh. —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #sketchbookautodesk #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #characterdesign #charactersheet #fantasy #fantasyart #femalecharacter #redhair #warrior #viking #frauv8_ocs

Something drawn earlier this month but been sitting in a digital folder for a while because meh… I also included closeups of the plaid - it’s no secret that I love drawing patterns on clothes, lol. I’ve just not been excited drawing lately - I feel like an uninspired slob… But I’ve been on Duolingo lately to feel productive with my spare time, and I have quite a bit to rant about with some of the things I’ve learned (seriously - “der Mann” [Man] is masculine, “der Junge” [Boy] is also masculine; “die Frau” [Woman] is feminine, so you’d think the German word for “Girl” would also be feminine. NO! It’s “das Mädchen” which is neutral! WTF! And funny I bring that up because this pic literally has a girl in it, lol) — #femalecharacter #malecharacter #man #girl #plaid #characterart #characterdesign #originalcharacters #frauv8_ocs #originalcharacterart #characterdesign #charactersheet #characterstudy #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing

Quick drawing - OCs Freyja and her husband Johannes Faustuz wearing matching cornflower blue outfits.💙 (One of my favorite colors) It’s a bit reminiscent of an old pic of the same two characters from 2018 also wearing matching outfits (last slide). — #autodesksketchbook #man #woman #couple #femalecharacter #malecharacter #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #characterart #blue #white #cornflowerblue #fashion #matchingoutfits #coupleoutfit #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing

Huh… How did this ended up in my Reels drafts? Whatever - it’s finally getting posted. - #malecharacter #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #eyes #frauv8_ocs #frauv8ocs #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #drawing

I finally made one - it’s a pattern!💀 It’s just like the Sanrio characters origami paper I used to get for paper crafts, only with my OCs and their pet Hellhound. I’m open to making another pattern soon, but not sure what or who… I might do all the medical characters, mythical creatures, everything Sigrid as a schoolgirl, or even something like a Disney Princess pattern - who knows.🤷🏻‍♀️ — #malecharacter #originalcharacterart #originalcharacters #originalcharacterdesign #originalcharacterdrawing #characterart #patterndesign #patterns #pattern #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #drawing #grimreaper #hellhound #skull #skulls #soul #star #cross #yellow #red #blue #green #black #white #chibi #chibiart #chibistyle #frauv8_ocs

“One eye blue, the other green which sees everything that can be seen.” - The Kaspers’ inherited trait “Odin’s Eye” is expressed as Heterochromia (Odd-Eyes). When activated, the right green eye allows him to see how long someone or something has long to live and their other vitals, making him able to assess how to defeat monsters and when he should arrive to collect a person’s soul when their time is up; otherwise, his green eye is nearly useless in normal sight and needs glasses or contacts to reduce eye strain. It’s easy to mistake a Kasper with glowing eyes as a cat in the dark; it’s a sign that either a monster is nearby or a soul needs collecting. — #frauv8ocs #frauv8_ocs #malecharacter #man #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #drawing #ipaddrawing #black #white #grey #gray #blackandwhite #suit #hat #heterochromia #blond
