A week off and the boats had long sailed away from the canal, but it’s still the end of June, so… ⛵️ It’s kinda a paper doll of Richard featuring something he would be wearing for Kiel Week. His human character design almost always has him wearing a shirt with a 1970s-80s logo design tied to his hometown via county flag, city/state flag colors, text, and/or sailboats. (The Kaspers are from Kiel where an annual festival of boats is held in June; Kiel Woche is also Germany’s 2nd largest festival after Oktoberfest) There’s a lot of reasons why Kiel was picked as the Kasper’s hometown - the main ones are that boats are associated with Death and the journey to the Afterlife (the Kaspers are Grim Reapers), and the name “Kiel” is similar to the word “Keel” which is the backbone of a ship that keeps the whole unit together as one piece (Kaspers are known to be very loyal to their family and who they serve). Kiel is in part of Jutland that was once ruled by Denmark, making them descendants of Vikings who were masters of boats and the sea; Kiel also starts with the letter “K” like “Kasper”, so yarp - it can’t get any more literal than that. River cities like Hamburg, Bonn, or Cologne technically could’ve work instead since they have boats as well, but it feels a bit off… Kiel was also historically a naval port and has a cool coastal climate (two things I hold dear to my heart as a Navy Brat spending my early years living next to the ocean). And cool coastal areas tend to be foggy, which adds to the creepy ghostly vibes the Kaspers give off as descendants of Death. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #characterdesign #charactersheet #originalcharacter #malecharacter #frauv8_ocs #man #1980sfashion #clothing #tshirt #croptop #shorts #rollerskates #red #white #blue #yellow #grey #gray #kiel #kielwoche #kielweek

It’s officially Summer, but it’s already been super hot! 🥵 It also means I’ll be more busy with work over artwork… I’ve made this one a while back, featuring Richard and Sigrid wearing 1980s summer attire. There’s a few other pics I haven’t posted yet, and I’ve been working on a story featured on my IG Story feed at the meantime (highlight titled “Gwisin”; the new OC featured is a Gwisin named Kim, and the story is loosely based off the script titled “Substitute Professor”). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #typography #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #autodesksketchbook #couple #malecharacter #femalecharacter #orange #blue #pink #red #yellow #1980sfashion #1980s #frauv8_ocs

Cedrick chilling with his music blasting out loud… So how did I came up with the color scheme for this pic? Felix from STRAY KIDS @realstraykids, sampled from his green jacket and the red heart on his necklace. (He almost looks like an IRL version of my OC too, lol) — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #frauv8_ocs #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #teenboy #boy #typography #helvetica #graphicdesign #japanese #korean #german #red #green #black #white #fashion #straykids #felixstraykids

OC Freyja wearing the classic Chanel tweed pink dress suit and matching accessories while walking her dog Frl. Flicka. She’s also wearing her husband’s aviator eyeglasses - which means he’s probably unable to see well without almost hitting a wall or pole somewhere.

Retro vibes once again… - By the late 1970s/early 1980s after establishing himself as Europe’s most deadliest Reaper, Richard was told by Fate he approx. had 5 more years before he had to return to his true form as Death for an unforeseeable time. This made things even more complicated for him since becoming the current heir of the Kasper bloodline after his older brother Heinrich gave up the title when he married Yoko and their 2 children didn’t inherit the family’s infamous “Odin’s Eye” (Richard enjoyed being single and breaking many young women’s hearts for fun as a wandering Playboy, and as the younger of 2 sons he expected to live a carefree laidback life). Richard had agreed to get engaged to a high-class Enchantress named Sheila handpicked by the family’s patriarch to stop the incessant lecture of needing a new heir. But after a year of dealing with her expensive spending habits driving him to close his private medical practice from bankruptcy and witnessing Sheila mistreating his sister-in-law, he immediately threw her out in the rain with her newly bought clothes and vowed to let Fate decide what will happen. Out of a whim a few months later, Fate assigned him to observe Sigrid who had a life curse due within 2 years, knowing he would have to personally claim her soul as the price promised by her father to extend his life. Richard was immediately smitten by Sigrid’s beauty and snarky personality, but also felt pity knowing that most of her dreams and wishes would never happen because she didn’t have long to live (Sigrid was already suffering heartbreak after her childhood crush Batty chose another girl to be his eventual fiancée, and she was constantly the target of bullies at the academy due to her Wicca background); after seeing Sigrid’s cursed condition, Richard felt determined to woo and give her the best quality of life. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #malecharacter #femalecharacter #frauv8_ocs #typography #gridpattern #black #white #pink #blue #green #yellow #red #orange

#happypridemonth everyone! Even though I’m a cis female who’s quite straight, it always makes me happy seeing a rainbow flag fly outside because rainbows are supposed to be fun, colorful, happy, and I dare say gay~? Love is love - it’s all shapes, colors, and sizes, plus we all need a lot more of it in these crazy times. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎 - I haven’t been drawing much lately (a combination of too tired, too lazy, too bored, and uninspired), so here’s a flashback #repost of last year’s featured OC for June: Freyja’s lovely cousin Einar Ström who is gay. (I’ve had people ask if Cedrick is gay; he was raised gender-neutral as an only-child but turned out to be 100% male who likes to occasionally wear stuff considered feminine - especially makeup and accessories; Cedrick is also a big fan of K-Pop boy bands and fashion despite being a boy himself; so no, Cedrick isn’t gay, but he’s not afraid to break norms by showing off all his emotions as all humans should be able to regardless of gender and sex). — #happypride #🏳️‍🌈 #happypridemonth🏳️‍🌈 #happypride🌈 #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #frauv8_ocs #frauv8ocs #malecharacter #gaycharacter #brown #yellow #pink #blue #black #red #purple #rainbow

It seems like I’ve been really into Graphic Design and Typography for whatever reason lately… It’s hard to say whether if I’m actually an Artist or a Designer at times… But lately I’m feeling mentally burned out trying to think of something different besides OCs… (It’s why I try to get polls done for fun ideas) It also just feels like I’m not doing a good enough job when I’m drawing this time around… — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdrawing #frauv8_ocs #malecharacter #femalecharacter #typography #blue #red #yellow #white #black #pink #purple #1980sstyle

Richard Kasper’s true form as Death Himself.💀 - So how does being an incarnation work? Death’s essence gets transplanted into an assigned unborn body by Fate Herself and is allowed to live as a human for no longer than 35-40 years, therefore he often lived recklessly for fun (which is why he never married and had children - until he unexpectedly became the heir of the Kasper Bloodline when his older brother Heinrich gave up his title, forcing him to look for a bride). Often times the same families are chosen to raise Death over generations, especially if they have a lot of resources and particular abilities that he finds fascinating (Death has been reborn in the Kasper Family twice before becoming Richard and is fond of their “Odin’s Eye” and notoriously so-called “evil” reputation within the occult community). If Death grows fond of a person during his limited lifetime, he will keep their soul by his side for eternity. Currently he has over 40,000 souls in his personal collection over the 350,000+ years he’s existed, often rotating favorites (one of them his older brother Heinrich). One soul he keeps by his side almost all the time is his beloved Sigrid, but she does occasionally like to wander away on her own to visit living relatives (Cedrick had always wondered why there’s a pink soul continuously floating in and out of the house for years, so he wants to cast a spell to reveal its true identity). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #malecharacter #frauv8_ocs #grimreaper #death #scythe #souls #blackrobe #typography #gridpattern #blackandwhite #black #white #pink #blue #green #yellow #red

OC Cedrick Kasper and his pet Hellhound/Doberman Frl. Flicka. - The red is really vibrant, but I actually like it since it’s complimentary to the green Japanese and German text - which happens to be the same color as a particular bird that reminds me to take my daily dose of languages (I’m already going “Nope!” after picking at a few lessons of Korean, I occasionally brush up on what little French I know, and I’m almost done with two units of German - a language I just want to scream at because there’s no pattern to the three genders, having to kick secondary verbs to the end of a phrase, the Frankenstein words…🤬Otherwise, I’m actually surprised that I lasted this long studying it). I also included the white and pink background versions after the closeups. — #autodesksketchbook #typography #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdrawing #frauv8_ocs #malecharacter #boy #bubblegum #dog #dobermanpinscher #fashion #clothing #red #pink #white #green #blue #purple #yellow #german #japanese
