Hr. Dr. Richard Kasper surrounded by a lot of holiday red and boca. He holds an Iris, a birth flower of February - his beloved Sigrid’s birth month. But at this point of time (c. 1979-1980), Sigrid hasn’t warmed up to Richard’s charms yet - she sees him as an annoying old foreign man with a lot of baggage constantly visiting her mother’s flower shop. — #malecharacter #autodesksketchbook #pixaloop #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #originalcharacter #red #flower #man #iris #coat #glasses #boca

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

I finally made a coloring sheet to share for the holidays!🎄 (I should color it too...) It ended up being Freyja and her hubby Johannes Faustuz because Christmas just reeks of their homelands (the only thing in the pic that’s not Scandinavian/Germanic is “Feliz Navidad”, a nod to their current home in California). If anyone else wants to color it, tag me @frauv8 and #colorthisinyourstyle_frauv8 or #colorthisinyourstyle_fv8 so I can see your work.

I’ve been super busy and lazy at the same (work and not feeling like drawing). So here’s a little something for the meantime: Johannes Faustuz and his aunt Yoko coming home from the Asian market. — #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #originalcharacterart #originalcharacters #malecharacter #femalecharacter #boy #man #woman #shopping

#charactersheet 3: Tricia Williams and Cedrick Kasper. They’re not a couple (over 5 years apart, Tricia being 19 and Cedrick 14-15), but the two are quasi-friends and often seen together mostly for tutoring sessions. - Tricia has always been a bit of a B- her whole life, but she has legit reasons (never had a dad around, mother died, being deathly allergic to animals, etc.). After being taken in by her uncle Tyrone at age 16, Tricia has been adjusting to her new environment for the last few years. She’s still wary being around the Kaspers for reasons, and finds their mishmash of Scandinavian/Japanese culture weird, on top of their ability to fight monsters and reap souls. Tricia in general doesn’t like either Kasper guy by all means, (Hr. Dr. Kasper being too stern and Cedrick being a boy), but deep down inside she actually appreciates their help. Cedrick, on the other hand, can be a bit too naïve, impressionable, and carefree. He’s very sociable with other kids, always curious to learn about anything, and willing to share his knowledge with everyone; being a prodigy, his father Hr. Dr. Kasper affectionately calls him “Wunderkind”. Cedrick is working on becoming a full-fledged surgeon like his father, but also has dabbled with design and crafting - showing potential for the Ström side of the family. Cedrick doesn’t always like being around Tricia, but being Tyrone’s niece, Cedrick puts on a cheerful face and does his best to help her out (he actually had called her “B!tch” once out of frustration, which ended up with Tricia crying and his father hitting his head and screaming at him in their native language to apologize immediately). — #malecharacter #femalecharacter #teengirl #teenboy #originalcharacter #characterart #characterdesign #black #white #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing

Page 10. ENDE. - Well, I might make another character sheet to include Tricia. And I thought it’d be funny for Tricia to say the same thing her uncle Tyrone said at the start of the story. — #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #man #teengirl #autodesksketchbook #comic #digitalart #digitaldrawing #blackandwhite #black #white #halftone #femalecharacter #malecharacter #chickcharney #mangastyle #animestyle

I’m too lazy to color this in. Took me all day to make it. Two versions too (look at the crib mobile in the next slides). - December 1981: Richard with a newborn Johannes Faustuz. Sigrid at this point had died after childbirth, at the end of the lifespan she had left from her father’s curse. Though the whole family was devastated by Sigrid’s death during the holiday season, the birth of child brought the family closer together. Unfortunately the stress of caring for a baby alone and the family business took a toll on Richard’s health, leading to his unexpected death and leaving Faustuz with his uncle Heinrich and his family. I thought about making the mobile Christmas-themed (since Faustuz was born on 23 December), but it’s a tiny bit early to be posting that stuff (it’s in the 3rd slide). And with Faustuz being born in the 1980s, there’s a few things some older Millennials might recognize in the Kasper nursery (I had to look up toys from the early 1980s; I’m a Millennial myself, but I don’t have many memories before 1992 and the toys I played with were mostly from the mid-1990s). — #autodesksketchbook #pixaloop #malecharacter #man #father #baby #babyboy #infant #son #nursery #crib #bedroom #toys #black #white #blackandwhite #digitalart #digitaldrawing #halftone

Page 9 - Cedrick has finally arrived! He’s completely out of breath, unable to speak in either German or English after pedaling from the Kasper residence to a garden center then the Williams’ house. Normally it’s a 5 Mi/8 Km trip one-way to the Williamses, but add in a trip to the local garden center in the opposite direction, Cedrick is one tired kid (he’s not old enough to drive yet). It’s also not as easy to find a pine tree sapling around the start of the Holiday Season during Quarantine (most have been grown and sold to become Christmas trees). The Chickcarney is more than happy to see any live pine tree to use as a portal to his spiritual home, but this one might need a little bit of growing more up for the Chickcarney to use it properly. (Cedrick is going to get an earful from his papa for buying a year-old pine tree sapling...) Also, Cedrick hardly calls his father “Papa” or “Vati” out of respect (he actually refers his grandfather Erik as “Papa”, so it adds to the weirdness and confusion calling his father “Papa”). — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #boy #bicycle #chickcarney #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #black #white #blackandwhite #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #halftone

Kinda Page 8? There should technically be another page or two before this, but I’ve been wanting to draw Cedrick on the Kasper Family’s errand bike for a while.😛 I should really rewind a bit and get back to the Chickcarney and Queenie now... - Cedrick was called from the Kaspers’ home located elsewhere around Los Angeles, not too far away from the Williamses (about 5-10 miles). Of the Kaspers’ three bikes, it’s the pink one that has the hardware needed for shopping and transporting goods (the other two are for biking trails). Both Hr. Dr. Kasper and Cedrick try to avoid the pink bike for obvious reasons (they get snickers and second looks from passerby’s), but with Freyja being the only female in the family and in charge of the family resources, they quickly swallow their pride for the sake of getting errands done. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #boy #bicycle #pinkbike #comic #animestyle #ipaddrawing

Wunderkind’s Notes 2: The Caribbean Pine Cedrick’s notes about the type of tree the Chickcarney dwells in. As a creature tied to the spiritual world, it’s very vulnerable when exposed to the human world - thus why it seeks out anything it’s familiar and associated with (ie. Asia and Queenie’s Caribbean ancestry). — #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #digitaldrawing #caribbeanpine #pinetree #notes #black #white #blackandwhite

Don’t worry - I’ll be back on the Chickcarney project soon enough ... November 1981: Aina, Sigrid, and Richard on their way back from the grocery store. Richard is wearing his grey wolf fur coat while Sigrid is looking a lot rounder this time, and it’s not only because of her constant consumption of ice cream cones. Aina is Sigrid’s mother, known as “The Witch of Copenhagen” due to her exotic flowers, extensive collection of herbal medicine and potions, eccentric behavior, and striking appearance (she’s albino). Aina and Sigrid are very close, though Aina can get a bit nosy and often teases Sigrid whenever she’s trying to process something new; despite that, Aina is very supportive of her daughter and tries her best to get Sigrid out of her shell and experience the World - especially with a life curse placed on her by her own father cutting her life down to less than twenty years to live. It was Aina who encouraged both Richard and Sigrid to get together despite what society had to say (Richard is almost 8 years older than Sigrid, raising a lot of eyebrows seeing a teenage girl with an older man); she could tell Richard was tired living life as a traveling playboy while her daughter Sigrid needed someone experienced to guide her and push her to live to the fullest. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #femalecharacter #mother #daughter #husband #woman #man #couple #family #digitalart #digitaldrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart
