October is Cedrick’s birth month. His second-cousin Evangeline thinks he’s a cursed child being born on Friday the 13th, while Tante Yoko thinks he could be a reincarnation of his grandfather Richard (who was born on the 10th of October). Alongside him are marigolds, cosmos, and a calendula - all birth flowers for October. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #teenboy #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #october #flowers #cosmos #marigold #calendula #bowlcut #glasses #brown #orange #yellow #red #pink #green #fashion

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

Day 6: Casual Outfit 1 •Collared Plaid Shirt •Jeans •Boots - I might’ve added a few more things to his outfit...😅 Oh well. And Klimt also wanted to make an appearance with Papa Kasper. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #inktober #inktober2020 #clothing #outfit #outfitoftheday #digitalink #digitalinktober #digitalinktober2020

Day 5: Activewear Outfit 2 •Red Retro Gym Shorts •Tank Top •Running Shoes - Had fun with this one, especially with the color scheme. It’s just practically red, blue, and yellow with a touch of grey. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #inktober #inktober2020 #clothing #outfit #outfitoftheday #digitalink #digitalinktober #digitalinktober2020

Sidetrack pic of Fall fashion and colors with this father and son duo; I might be making more of these kind of pics throughout the month with other OCs. All this brown and orange makes me want a soy pumpkin latte and a pumpkin scone from Starbucks... — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #originalcharacters #orginalcharacterart #fallfashion #fatherandson #ipaddrawing #digitalart #digitaldrawing #brown #orange #blue #yellow #grey #gray #man #teenboy #leaves

Day 4: Activewear Outfit 1 •Tank Top •Leggings •Running Shoes - His outfit has a lot of color, making him more visible as he jogs; Johannes Faustuz also makes sure people can see his mask to show that it doesn’t affect his breathing as he exercises. “It’s not that hard to wear a piece of fabric for a few hours a day to save lives. We do so whenever we click on a seat belt before driving a car, so what’s the difference with face masks?” He’s also been having quite a bit of schadenfreude with recent news, but does hope people will finally put their politics aside and realize the scientific importance of wearing masks to slow the spread more than ever (he’s a doctor after all). — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #inktober #inktober2020 #clothing #outfit #outfitoftheday #digitalink #digitalinktober #digitalinktober2020

Day 3: Tracksuit •Jacket •Pants •Shoes - 2nd Slide, Johannes Faustuz decided to wear his father’s (Richard’s) 1980 track jacket instead. Sometimes wearing something contrasting and retro is just the perfect finish to an outfit. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #inktober #inktober2020 #clothing #outfit #outfitoftheday #digitalink #digitalinktober #digitalinktober2020

Day 2: Quarantine Outfit 2 •Tank Top •Boxers •Socks •Slippers - Looks like he caught the “Midnight Snacker” who’s been eating his stash of Baumkuchen (Tree Cake). But who? Cedrick? Erik? Rosemarie and her fairy friends? Who knows. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #inktober #inktober2020 #clothing #outfit #outfitoftheday #digitalink #digitalinktober #digitalinktober2020

Inktober 2020 will pretty much be an “Outfit of the Day” prompt with this guy, all done with digitally (unless I feel like a traditional pic for the day). I can’t guarantee a pic every day due to work, so some days I might get far ahead or fall behind. - Day 1: Quarantine Outfit 1 •T-Shirt •Sweatpants •Slippers — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #inktober #inktober2020 #clothing #outfit #outfitoftheday #digitalink #digitalinktober #digitalinktober2020

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

Granger Rodriguez in her Grim Reaper attire, heavily inspired by the Sugar Skull of Dia de Los Muertos and Spanish/Mexican clothing. — #autodesksketchbook #femalecharacter #originalcharacterart #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitaldrawing #halftone #blackandwhite #animestyle #mangastyle #hat #skull #mask #lace #woman #diadelosmuertos #grimreaper

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

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

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

This pic has been sitting in my scrap pile since mid-May (it’s nearing the end of August). It’s colored in with different shades of blue, yellow, and orange. It’s a pretty flat and boring piece, which is probably why I didn’t post it for so long. But at least it’s the whole family together in one pic, which makes it kinda cute. ———— #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipaddrawing #drawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #characterdesign #character_design #characters #malecharacters #femalecharacter #family #grandfather #mother #son #father #blue #yellow #orange #fashion #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
