#inktober #flower pic no.17 - #sweetpea - A flower of sweet fragrance and multitudes of colors, it represents gratitude, simple pleasure, enjoyment of one’s company, and farewell. It is also a term of endearment people call their beloved ones. These plants were also used in genetic experiments, providing information about inheritance of physical traits. - It’s Freyja and Johannes Faustuz again, enjoying their time just cuddling together. “Schatzi” is Freyja’s word of endearment for both her husband and son, which sounds a lot like “Sweet Pea”, but from memory I remember it meaning a cute form of “Treasure” (correct me if I’m wrong). — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #pens #pentel #tradio #kuretake #brushpen #platinumpen #platinumpreppy #pilotpen #fountainpen #blackink #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #blackandwhitedrawing #blackandwhiteart #originalcharacters #couple #cuddling #plant

Haven’t made anything digitally in a while - and the rain is keeping me up (it has been pouring with thunder and lightning in SoCal). - Anyway, it’s the 13th of October and it’s a special day - it’s my #originalcharacter Cedrick’s birthday! 🎉 He was born via emergency c-section, weighing at about 6 lbs (2.7 kg) and measuring a bit more than a foot (33 cm). His birth was damaging on Freyja, which is why he’s an only child; he was also born when Faustuz just started his career as a doctor, making it difficult for him to take care of his newborn son. But a surprise occurs: Freyja’s father Erik decides to make up with his daughter after finding out she had been in the hospital. - It’s not a very good #digitaldrawing, just something quick since I’m still working and I’m tired. — #digitalart #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #autodesksketchbook #fatherson #father #babyboy #originalcharacters

#inktober #flower pic no.15 - #peony - A symbol of China and Japan, the Peony is a large and lush blossom the represents many good things: luck, prosperity, fortune, riches, romance, honor, compassion, and a long happy marriage; it also stands for bashfulness and shame. The flower gets it name from the Greek name Peaon, the student of the god of medicine; its petals are used in salads and drinks, and the roots are used in traditional Asian medicine. - Freyja was arranged to marry her father’s business partner Sigmund after graduating from high school, but Faustuz managed to get past security dressed as a server and object to the union. And many guests at the wedding were relieved someone had the guts to say something - they were also able to air out their objections, revealing Sigmund’s intentions to sell off the family company and the fact he had another affair on the side. The groom left threatening to sell off all his shares and create a rival company as Freyja’s father Erik stands ashamed for arranging his daughter to marry such a man. But not all was wasted and lost - Faustuz bends down on his knee and asks Freyja to marry him once more, fulfilling the promise they made to each other as children. Erik begins to object, only to be ignored by the priest and other guests excited to finally see the childhood sweethearts together. Despite being disowned by her father, many years working odd hours to pay off his student debt, and together having a wunderkind son who’s a handful, Freyja and Faustuz are still together as a couple. — #inktober2018 #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #couple #wedding #red #inkart #inkartwork #pendrawing #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pens #pentel #tradio #platinumpen #platinumpreppy

#inktober #flower pic no.14 - #pansy - The flower of remembrance, care, memory, and humility, its name comes from the French word “Pensée” which means “thought”. These flowers come many combinations of colors, and pansies are edible, used in salads and as garnishes. - It’s Vincent-Claude again, this time with a nice dress shirt and with his hair down. It’s pretty obvious why I picked him - the name “Pansy” comes from French, the character is French, and the pansies are tricolored like the French flag. — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #penart #pendrawing #pentelpen #tradio #pilotpen #fountainpen #platinumpen #platinumpreppy #markers #crayola #crayolamarkers #french #pensé #pensée #tricolor #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter

#inktober #flower pic no.13 - #hydrangea - Named so for its cup-like flowers and need for water to thrive, these flowers come in various shades of blue, purple, pink, red, white, and sometimes yellow-green; the color of the flowers are determined by a combination of environment and genetics, giving them the nickname “Change Rose”. They are one of the most popular ornament flower in gardens, but they are poisonous when eaten in large doses. Hydrangeas represents pride, a sometimes negative trait when it refers to being heartless and selfish; they also stand for heartfelt gratitude and mutual understanding, and are given as gifts for a couple’s 4th wedding anniversary. - Hr. Dr. Kasper is often just called Faustuz after his mother, Sigrid Faustuz. She died giving birth, not long after his father Richard Kasper had died while responding to an outbreak in Africa; this left Faustuz an orphan in the care of his uncle Heinrich and aunt Yoko. According to his aunt, Sigrid was obsessed with hydrangeas; the flower also represents how she and Richard were like - not a very a close or romantic pair, but more like “friends with benefits.” — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #pentelpen #tradio #platinumpreppy #platinumpen #fountainpen #marker #markerarr #crayola #midliner #zebramildliner #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #originalcharacter #femalecharacter

#inktober #flower pic no.12 - #cherryblossom / #sakura - Comes in shades of pink, white, and sometimes red, these flowers are a national symbol of Japan. Similarly to the Morning Glory, they represent mortality but in a more positive light - cherry blossoms symbolize the beautiful journey and fragility of life. They can bloom as early as late January and early February, a welcoming sign for spring to come. - It’s Kimiko Abe, my Japanese #originalcharacter. She’s a bit klutzy, loves cute things and the color pink, and gets easily scared when she encounters unfamiliar things and people. — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #pens #copicpen #platinumpen #platinumpreppy #markers #crayola #pencilbox #hellokitty #originalcharacterart #femalecharacter

#inktober #flower pic no.11 - #morningglory - The flower of lovers, promises, and mortality, these flowers come in many shades of blue, purple, pink, and white. There’s another form of them called #moonflowers which bloom late at night. These flowers are given to couples on their 11th wedding anniversary, and are one of the flowers for the month of September. - It’s Freyja with her beloved Johannes Faustuz in their moment of morning glory. (*facepalms and groans*) The flower is named so for blooming late at night to early in the morning as the sun rises. The term, on the other hand, could be morning sex or something the male body does on its own... 😅 — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #copicpen #midliners #crayolamarker #mujimarkers #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #couple #kiss #lovers #blueflowers

#inktober #flower pic no.10 - #forsythia - This hardy flowering shrub produces bright yellow flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. This plant produces fruit commonly used in Chinese medicine to reduce inflammation and infection. It is named after a British botanist, and it is a flower that represents anticipation of things to come. - This #originalcharacter is Prince Asher Yang Solar, male counterpart of Princess Celestial Yin Lunar. — #pens #marker #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pentel #tradio #platinumpen #preppypen #sharpie #crayola #mujimarker #malecharacter

#inktober #flower pic no.9 - #lilac - These flowers represent confidence, innocence, and emotions of first love. They commonly come in violet and white, but can also come in pink, yellow, and burgundy. These flowers often bloom in spring to early summer. The wood of this shrub/tree is often used in making carving crafts and instruments. - This #originalcharacter is Princess Celestial Yin Lunar, a character I made way back in about 2003-2004. Her kingdom’s symbol was the lilac flower. She has a male counterpart, Prince Asher Yang Solar, whose symbol is the forsythia flower. — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #purpleflowers #yin #femalecharacter #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pens #markers #pentel #tradio #kuretake #brushpen #midliners #mujimarkers

#inktober #flower pic no.7 - #daisy - The flower of faith which many love-stricken people have plucked out its petals to determine the one they admire loves them back. Many children also make them into chains and wear them on their heads for fun. These flowers are commonly white and yellow, but can come in other colors. They’re also used in tea, its leaves eaten in salads, and ancient doctors used it for medicine. - It’s Freyja again, hoping her beloved Johannes Faustuz would love her back (of course he would). The two are often separated due to their careers (she’s a supermodel; he’s a doctor/scientist), so often she gets anxious being apart from him for long periods of time. - This might be the last #drawing for a while since I’ll be back to work tomorrow. I might be able to sneak in other pic - we’ll see. — #originalcharacterdrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #femalecharacter #moleskinecahier #moleskine #sketchbook #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #pilotpen #fountainpen #pentel #pentelpen #tradio #sharpie #sharpiemarker #pickingpetals #inlove

#inktober #flower pic no.6 - #iris - These flowers are named after the Greek goddess of rainbows, which is appropriate since they come in many colors from red to black-purple, though the most popular colors are white, blue, violet, and yellow. They represent loyalty and good tidings and news. - Like Cedrick and Vincent-Claude, I had drawn Rufus back in 2006-2007 with a flower. For Rufus, it was an iris, perfect considering his profession is a photojournalist. - I thought about coloring it, but decided to keep it plain and simple. There’s plenty of detail in the #inkdrawing as is, and I put my UK-themed notebook next to the pic because the character is British-Irish. — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pens #pilotpen #fountainpen #pentel #pentelpen #tradio #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdrawing

#inktober #flower pic no.4 - #sunflower - (I know I messed up the order of my prompt, but whatever, lol) My grandfather always called these flowers “weeds” in his corn fields, but sunflowers can be useful being grown for their seeds and oil. They grow up very tall, are symmetrical in shape, and are very recognizable with their bright yellow petals resembling the sun. According to Hanakotoba (the Japanese art of speaking with flowers), this flower called Himawari represents respect, passionate love, and radiance. - The line art was done with #ink, but I colored it in digitally with #autodesksketchbook using a basic marker brush. - For this pic, it’s a young Johannes Faustuz Kasper wearing traditional clothing with a pretzel in hand. And like a sunflower, he’s simple in appearance, grows up much taller than everyone else around him, and is always reliable whenever he’s needed. — #inktober2018 #inkdrawing #inkart #inkartwork #digitalcoloring #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #pilotpen #fountainpen #pentel #pentelpen #tradio #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #child #boy #german #himawari

#inktober #flower pic no.5 - #daffodil - (I’m a Dummkopf - I accidentally skipped no.4; I’ll have it done next, but again, this is my prompt and I go at my own pace, lol) Also known as #narcissus, these flowers are usually bright yellow and white, sometimes orange and pink. Many bloom during the winter and early spring months, and grow in a variety of conditions. They return year after year, which may be the reason why they’re used to represent respect and resilience. - This is another nod to an old pic of Vincent-Claude I made back in 2006-2007 in my dA gallery where he is holding a single daffodil; this time he has two in hand with his hair tied up and #tattoos in view. — #inktober2018 #inkart #inkartwork #inkdrawing #blackink #pens #pilotpen #fountainpen #pentel #tradio #frixion #crayola #crayolamarker #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdrawing #malecharacter

#inktober #flower pic no.2 - #tulip - Tulips come in various colors and are one of the most popular flowers people grow in their gardens. They’re originally from around Turkey, but are also associated with the Netherlands due the Dutch being obsessed with these flowers in the 17th century. - This pic is kinda a nod to an old drawing I made of Cedrick back circa 2006-2007 using mainly #sharpiemarkers (it’s in my dA gallery somewhere). But this version the wunderkind is actually a kind, and I used multiple #inkbased media aside from #sharpie. - For #inktober2018, I’m just going to follow my prompt and cram as many as I can do while I don’t have work - my job has been uber busy and demanding lately, especially with Columbus Day coming up this month (that means working on a holiday, though many don’t consider it a real holiday, lol). And that means I might actually do more than the usual 31 pics, which my #flower prompt allows for. — #originalcharacterdrawing #originalcharacter #malecharacter #boy #child #inkart #inkdrawing #inkartwork #pilotpen #fountainpen #midliner #midliners #midlinerhighlighters #sharpiemarker #crayolamarkers #crayolablendingmarkers #sketchbook #molskine #moleskinecahier

#inktober #flower pic no.1 - #rose with #babysbreath - Roses are classic flowers that often represent love, beauty, and grace. They’re also a birth flower of June alongside Honeysuckle. - Freyja’s birthday is in late June, making her a Cancer; kinda funny because she’s married to an oncologist (doctor who diagnoses/treats cancer). — #drawing #inkdrawing #inkart #inkartwork #inktober2018 #originalcharacter #flowers #femalecharacter #sketchbook #moleskine #moleskinecahier #fountainpen #sharpiepen

He won’t be that short for too long, lol. It’s no wonder why Faustuz is always so stoic and death glares at people as an adult - literally everyone always had looked down on him most of his childhood, and it doesn’t help being the class geek either. - Another old pic from last year: the #childhoodsweethearts Freyja and Johannes Faustuz. - I’ve been bogged down with work lately, which concerns me a bit with Inktober coming up. What I might have to do is cram 7 drawings in the few days I have off per week. 😬 We’ll see what happens - life right now has been tiring. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #wacomdrawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterdrawing #boygirl #girlboy #girl #boy #couple #children #throwbackdrawing #olddrawing

#flashbackfriday / #sentimentalsaturday : an old pic from last November - #hospitaldrama with Dr. Tyrone Williams and the younger Hr. Dr. Kasper Cedrick covered in blood. - Fun Note: Cedrick wears mismatched socks and slippers while he’s at work - a bit of an ode to a German saying about putting on one’s slippers before leaving, or in other words, to hurry up (I forgot how it’s said or where exactly I learned it - either a podcast, book, video, or a pen pal). — #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitaldrawing #wacomart #hospitalsetting #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdrawing

It’s a rough drawing that might get cleaned up and colored - we’ll see. 🤷🏻‍♀️ - The hospital crew together watching their wunderkind try to either beat a boss level in some game, or using a game controller as a remote to fix something technical; either way, it looks intense. - Top Left to Bottom Right: •Leyon DeValuer🇫🇷: hospital director/geneticist •Tyrone Williams🇺🇸: pediatrician •Johannes Faustuz Kasper🇩🇪: oncologist •Kimiko Abe🇯🇵: nurse •Cedrick Kasper🇩🇪: surgeon •Fatima Khan🇵🇰: cardiologist — #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #ipadprodrawing #ipadprosketch #autodesksketchbook #sketchbookautodesk #originalcharacters #originalcharacterdrawing
