Hr. Dr. Kasper and Freyja - Grim Reaper style.💀 (and separate alternative versions of the two) - This pic is giving me “Shaman King” vibes - I loved that anime growing up, and I’m uber excited for the reboot. I think it’s pretty obvious which character from SK had an influence on me (hint on last slide), but overall, the art style had always been an inspiration (anime and manga in general, but some more than others). — #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #mangastyle #animestyle #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #man #woman #grimreaper #skull #skeleton #fashion #dress #coat #hat #glasses #highheels #blackandwhite #frauv8_ocs

A dark entry in Sigrid’s diary, showing the other side of Richard as a Grim Reaper. - It’s not known whether if Death ordered Richard to collect Mr. Vannderhassen’s soul, or if he acted out of spite and annoyance towards a man threatening himself and his family (Kaspers are known to be vengeful, often doing so as a form of bad karma); either way, Sigrid is more frightened of her death quickly approaching after seeing his true form, temporarily distancing herself from Richard out of fear. As of what Mr. Vannderhassen died from, it was cardiac arrest in the eyes of humans outside of the occult and mythical. - Richard’s Grim Reaper costume is based off the Plague Doctor; unlike his father Olaf, older brother Heinrich, and his son Johannes Faustuz, Richard wore mostly white instead of black - giving him the nickname “The White Ghost”. I plan to draw all of the Kaspers’ Grim Reaper costumes from Olaf’s from the 1950s to Cedrick’s modern day outfit (🔜). — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #originalcharacter #grimreaper #plaguedoctor #scythe #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #halftone #blackandwhite #frauv8_ocs

Sigrid never had an attachment with anyone else besides her mother, until Richard suddenly appeared. With each visit, she slowly warmed up to Richard’s charms - especially when he had gifts in hand to coax her out from hiding in the storage room. Each gift was intriguing to her, the first one being a bottle of Chanel perfume, the second a batch of Japanese hard candies, the third a puzzle box with Swiss chocolate truffles inside, and the fourth she waited to open until his return from Sweden: a pair of crystal stud earrings. Sigrid also grew to love his odd-colored eyes, goofy smile, feathery hair, and his voice. — #autodesksketchbook #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #originalcharacter #femalecharacter #blackandwhite #halftone #frauv8_ocs

Freyja and Johannes Faustuz (pseudonym Jonah Fritz) for December’s cover using 2021’s Pantone colors of the year. - Faustuz usually doesn’t like being shown out in public via his wife’s work, but with a pair of red glasses and shiny gold shoes Freyja picked out for him, he actually feels like showing off this time. Cedrick hasn’t been featured for the magazine yet, but Freyja has been itching to have a spread of her son soon. —— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #animestyle #originalcharacters #characterart #man #woman #malecharacter #femalecharacter #fashion #magazinecover #grey #gray #yellow #black #gold #frauv8_ocs

Another random quick outfit/pose drawing of this guy... Wasn’t sure which expression to do, so I included both. I’m still trying to figure out something more elaborate to draw for the season, but with work and feeling depressed about the state of where I live in comparison to other places in the world, it’s getting harder to look forward to making new things (and my birthday is coming up: it’s on Christmas Eve and 2020 is my “Jesus year” - more reason to hate this year). — #malecharacter #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #characterdesign #fashion #man

Silly Instagram squares... - I tried making it like Ito Junji’s style. Perhaps I should try Hirohiko Araki next. 💀 — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #femalecharacter #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalcharacters #black #white #blackandwhite #digitalart #digitalink #ipaddrawing #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #man #woman #couple #fashion #itojunjiinspired #itojunji

Character Sheet 2 - The Kasper Family: Freyja Ström, Hr. Dr. Johannes Faustuz Kasper, and Cedrick Kasper. A little foreshadowing of what’s to come rests in Cedrick’s hands. - All three are quite tall, but considering their Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, and Dutch ancestry, it’s really not a surprise (all the mentioned nationalities are known for being much taller than average). Freyja looks short in comparison with her husband Hr. Dr. Kasper, but at 5’7”/170cm (5’9”/175cm in heels 👠), she’s actually a little bit taller than the average American woman (about 5’4”/163cm). Despite that, she’s labeled a “Petite Model” in the fashion industry, which she takes extreme offense (she doesn’t believe in so-called “height standards” for models, which is why she tries to have various types of people featured in her TV show). Cedrick at 14-15 years old is actually quite tall for his age (6’0”/182cm), quickly catching up with his father standing at 6’5”/195cm. Asia always asks “WTF are you feeding this boy?!” every time she see him because he seems to grow an inch or so (she doesn’t see him as often as Tyrone or Tricia so she notices his rapid growth). Johannes Faustuz wasn’t always the tall man he is today. As a boy he was actually much smaller than his peers; because of this (and the fact he was mainly raised by his Japanese aunt Yoko), he was picked on equally by both boys and girls. He constantly got into violent fights defending himself, getting suspended from school and ended up spending most of his early childhood reading books at the library where Tante Yoko worked (it was also there he first met Freyja visiting as an exchange student from Sweden, and ever since the two had been inseparable). It wasn’t until when Faustuz was about age 13 he started growing up like a Great Dane, quickly surpassing the other teen boys in height by age 15, and kept growing up until he was 21. Nowadays hardly anyone messes with the Herr Doktor, knowing doing so would result in serious consequences. — #malecharacter #femalecharacter #man #woman #boy #originalcharacter #characterart #characterdesign #black #white #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #autodesksketchbook
