The dreaded flight across the Atlantic with a kid kicking the back of his seat, a sick passenger in front, and airplane seating more cramped than ever before. It doesn’t help being very tall either (Johannes Faustuz is 195cm/approximately 6’4”-6’5”). - What’s the longest you’ve flown by plane? Longest flight I’ve been on was 18 hours straight across the Pacific to the Philippines - with turbulence since it’s flying against the jet stream.🤢 — #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadprodrawing #halftone #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #originalcharacterdrawing #malecharacter #flying #airplanepassenger #animestyle #mangastyle #comic

Awww... Poor Cedrick hates being apart from his father; he also wants to go back home to Kiel where it’s not as hot as Los Angeles in the summer. (I’m the same way - I miss the cool coastal weather in Port Hueneme where I lived as a kid; anything above 85F/30C is stupid hot) After flying six hours to New York, then another eight hours to Frankfurt, Papa Kasper will be meeting up with his cousins Hansel and Hannah. — #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadprodrawing #lineart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacterdrawing #malecharacters #femalecharacter #fathermotherson #animestyle #mangastyle #comic

Hannah (also spelled Hana) is one of the Herr Doktor’s two older cousins; she and her older brother Hansel call him “Fausto” since they don’t like that they’re all named similarly (all three were often nicknamed “Hans”, causing lots of confusion amongst schoolmates). Johannes Faustuz grew up frightened of Hannah for many reasons, from her being the mean older sister figure to feeling her wrath accidentally walking in on her and boyfriend as a little boy. Over the years the two have gotten along better, but Hannah still often pushes her younger cousin around despite his towering height. Hannah also keeps in touch on behalf of his aunt Yoko who feel less close and obliged to maintain a relationship with him since he’s not her biological child. But as the heir of the Kasper’s legacy, Aunt Yoko needs his help in dealing with Yōkai in their home in Kiel. — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #drawing #ipaddrawing #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #man #blackandwhite #manga #comic #mangastyle #halftone

With everything going back to the 1990s these days, let’s go back when Johannes Faustuz was a cute little nine-going-on-ten-year-old. - Faustuz was raised by his uncle Heinrich and aunt Yoko since he was orphaned as an infant (both parents died on a trip to Africa “on a mission to cure illnesses”; it’s still a mystery how and what killed them). He has two older cousins named Hansel(Hanzo🇯🇵) and Hannah(Hana🇯🇵); Hansel is eight years older while Hannah is six years older. His cousins are half Japanese, making him physically stand out from his adoptive siblings. All three children have similar names (Hansel, Hannah, Johannes Faustuz), making many people say that there’s “too many Hans in the Kasper family.” Unfortunately Uncle Heinrich passed on from lung cancer when Faustuz was almost eleven, making times hard for the family when Hansel just started college and Hannah often running away with her boyfriend. This was also when Faustuz first meets Freyja Ström, a foreign exchange student from Sweden who will eventually become his wife. - I’ll have a story sometime with yokai in the near future featuring the Herr Doktor’s extended family members since they’re Japanese. But which yokai...? I’ll look one up that’d be fun for all three cousins and elderly Aunt Yoko to deal with. — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #ipadart #ipaddrawing #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #family #1990s #frauv8_ocs

Which background color you like best on Cedrick and his father Johannes Faustuz? ❤️💙💛 Comment below!🤗 - I ended up with red, though I really like blue just as much since it really contrasts with the Kaspers’ blond hair; red just draws you in like a hummingbird. Yellow is nice being monochromatic, but it’s a bit too plain and their eyes stand out too much - I’d have to desaturate them into more of a grey-green color. — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #ipadart #ipaddrawing #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #fatherson #blond #glasses #animestyle #mangastyle #red #blue #yellow #black #white #halftone

Hearts and turnips everywhere! - Freyja is finally convinced that it’s not a Skvader in her garden because Mama Wolpertinger is huge (Skvaders to her are supposed to be like small rodents); Baby Wolpertinger also seems to really like Freyja a lot too. Mama Wolpertinger is extremely happy that she and her baby will have enough food for their summer hibernation; for next season, the Kaspers will make sure they have turnips growing in their garden. As for the fairy... Well, there’s one more thing waiting for her. Apparently she’s been punished for being such a bad little sprite. - This was actually fun to draw since it’s all the characters in this story in one pic. The fairy was definitely a fun character to bring back, and she’s most likely to come back again in something else in the future. Next story in mind might actually take place in the fantasy world or go back in time when Freyja and Johannes Faustuz were younger. We’ll see.🤷🏻‍♀️ — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalsketch #illustration #ipadart #ipaddrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #autodesksketchbook #fathermotherson #wolpertinger #fairy #turnips #animestyle #mangastyle #mythologicalcreatures

Somehow Johannes Faustuz managed to escape the wolpertingers to get turnips at the local store. If the whole family is at the store, they need to hurry before Mama Wolpertinger decides to go kaiju outside their garden. - Note📝: Despite being very close and attached to his father, Cedrick rarely calls him “Papa”, “Vati,” “Dad,” “Old Man,” or anything else out of respect. Faustuz, on the other hand, often calls his son by his nickname “Wunderkind.” — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #ipadart #ipaddrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdrawing #malecharacters #autodesksketchbook #fatherson #turnips #animestyle #mangastyle

The fairy explains all - she let the wolpertingers in Freyja’s garden, lying to them that there’s turnips for them to eat. Now they need to figure out where to get turnips, and rescue the Herr Doktor before he gets stomped out of existence - unless he’s figured out something to divert Mama Wolpertinger’s wrath for a while. — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #ipadart #ipaddrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #femalecharacter #autodesksketchbook #fairy #motherson #animestyle #mangastyle #comic

Meanwhile, Cedrick has finally caught up with the fairy. Freyja is going to do some serious interrogation to make her tell what happened to Johannes Faustuz. — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalsketch #ipadart #ipaddrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #teenageboy #fairy #autodesksketchbook #animestyle #mangastyle

Now Mama Wolpertinger is mad - you don’t make her baby cry. Papa Kasper better get some turnips ASAP, or else it’s more than just his wife’s garden that’d be destroyed. — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #drawing #ipaddrawing #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #autodesksketchbook #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #man #wolpertinger #manga #comic #mangastyle #animestyle #mythologicalcreatures

Freyja and Cedrick are looking for their missing family member, and they find his glasses with a fairy ring. While Papa Kasper is with the wolpertingers, Mama Kasper and Wunderkind have a fairy to catch. — #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalsketch #ipadart #ipaddrawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #femalecharacter #autodesksketchbook #motherson #animestyle #mangastyle

The pink fairy next to the Herr Doktor’s shattered glasses. - She’s one little vengeful sprite towards the Kaspers after being attacked by the family cat; her wings have cutout scars as a result from the surgery to preserve her ability to fly. Also as a fairy, she enjoys causing trouble and watching the chaos in action. But if she’s not careful, she’ll get caught up with the commotion. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #animestyle #lineart #glasses #fairy #mythologicalcreature #orange #pink #cyan

The fairy returns!🧚‍♀️ (reminder on the second slide) The fairy was almost killed by Klimt the Weegie, so she still has a grudge towards the Kaspers despite being revived and stitched together by Cedrick. - So does Freyja have any turnips in her garden? No, she doesn’t.
