These two lovebirds again. With their respective careers/assignments and raising a son, Freyja and Johannes Faustuz hardly ever have time for each other; if they’re lucky, they get to work together in getting rid of rouge creatures or collecting cursed items. - I originally started this as a crappy pencil sketch in my mini sketchbook at work, but using it as a base, I finished it up on my iPad Pro at home. But I should really try to get the Yōkai Project finished before Inktober creeps up - I’m still figuring out my prompt for this year. I’m really getting distracted and lazy, lol. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #ipaddrawing #ipadart #ipadproart #ipadrodrawing #lineart #animestyle #originalcharacters #characterart #femalecharacter #woman #malecharacter #man #couple #kiss #frauv8_ocs

Which one do you like: 1 or 2? Also, which sportswear brand is your favorite? Comment below.🖤 - Just felt like drawing something black and white, and I really went literal with black and white...🤦🏻‍♀️ I ended up with these two teenage OCs in sportswear based from their home countries (Cedrick is German; Tricia is American). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #animestyle #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #femalecharacter #teenagers #black #white #adidas #nike #sportswear #frauv8

Papa Ström returns!🧔🏼 - Papa Ström and Cedrick have arrived at Kiel to transport the Yōkai back to California, only to find out Aunt Yoko suddenly wants to keep them. Johannes Faustuz is having a meltdown seeing these two with dueling emotions - fear of his father-in-law, and disappointment towards his son. I should draw the poor guy’s expression for the next page, lol. But again, it’s up to the Yōkai whether they want to stay or not; it’s also been about three days since Garappa laid her egg, so it should be hatching pretty soon. - Erik Ström is one of my favorite OCs: he’s a bad-ass Grandpa with a tough exterior, but melts like butter when it comes to family- especially for his daughter Freyja and grandson Cedrick. Papa Ström is from a long proud line of Viking warriors and weapon makers, making him an expert on what to use in killing mythical creatures gone rouge; he’s still baffled by Freyja’s attraction to Johannes Faustuz Kasper, a descendant of doctors who have a dark secret of experimentation for the sake of knowledge and sharing it with people of power (medieval times they were involved with alchemy; in the 18th century, dissecting of bodies of criminals; in WWII, they provided knowledge of the occult and kept records of experiments). Because of this background, Erik Ström often calls the Herr Doktor a “Quack” and not worthy of his daughter’s love. But he owes Faustuz a lot - he saved Freyja from being married off to his business partner Sigmund, who was actually a mythical creature called Bluebeard disguised as a human (Erik was under the spell of the creature). It’s a possible comic idea, but it’d be a tough one to get done (I’m already having a hard time getting this one wrapped up). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #frauv8

Another Cedrick pic.🤦🏼‍♂️ With a cup of coffee.☕️ Just like the last one.😑 But why is he in Kiel when he’s supposed to be taking care of his father’s work? Johannes Faustuz is going to be shocked seeing both his son and father-in-law show up at the Kasper Manor. - I included the line art for anyone who wants to color it in - tag it #frauv8colorthisin @frauv8 If anyone is feeling ambitious, you can do this as a #dtiys; if so, tag #frauv8drawthisinyourstyle @frauv8 — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #lineart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #blond #teenageboy #glasses #watch #coffee #frauv8

Aunt Yoko decided to not get rid of the Yōkai after all, only after seeing how the Yōkai were staying together as a family despite everything she had done. It reminded her of when her husband Heinrich had died and all the hardships she endured trying to keep the family functional. But at the same time, it’s possible she decided to keep the Yōkai only to make things harder for her nephew since she doesn’t like him. It’s ultimately up to the Yōkai whether they want to stay or go with Johannes Faustuz. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #frauv8

A rare work drawing I made yesterday. It’s been a long time using markers, but it looks like I’m still able to blend my inks well. - It was supposed to be a younger Johannes Faustuz, but it ended up being an older Cedrick.😛 In my original concept made back in 2005-2006, Cedrick was supposed to be in his 20s; my current project has him at age 15-16. — #lechtturm1917 #sketchbook #minisketchbook #traditionalart #drawing #pen #pencil #mechanicalpencil #coloredink #blackink #ink #alcoholmarkers #winsorandnewton #originalcharacter #malecharacter #coffeecup #glasses #blond #frauv8

The Kasper Siblings: Hansel, Hannah, and Johannes Faustuz. All three are often nicknamed “Hans” due to their similar first names. - Hansel and Hannah are actual brother and sister; Johannes Faustuz is their younger cousin who was raised with them after his parents died. Growing up Hansel and Hannah weren’t particularly close with Faustuz since the age gap between them is a bit (Hansel is 8 years older; Hannah is 6 years older), but growing older they realize they actually like their younger cousin. Faustuz often gets random hugs whenever Hansel or Hannah miss their late father Heinrich due to his resemblance to him. Aunt Yoko never liked Faustuz; she has always been tough on him since he’s not her biological child and he had been chosen to be the next head of the Kasper Family whenever Olaf Kasper dies (the Kasper Siblings‘ grandfather, Yoko’s father-in-law). Because of this, Hansel and Hannah try their best to support their younger cousin by all means so he can take care of the family legacy. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #animestyle #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #family #cousins #siblings #frauv8 #frauv8_ocs

Hannah is using her skills as a chef to prepare a nice meal for the Yōkai; unexpectedly her mother Yoko decides to help out. Maybe Aunt Yoko isn’t so heartless and has a change of heart? — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #femalecharacters #vegetables #cucumbers #eggplant #frauv8

Haven’t done one of these in a long time~ 😫 Just felt like drawing a watch because I’m expecting my own watch to arrive in the mail sometime soon, lol. My dream watch is a NOMOS, but I settled with something that looks very much like it at a fraction of the price. - Anyway, I might make a digital version of this because why not.🤷🏻‍♀️ — #lechtturm1917 #sketchbook #minisketchbook #drawing #pen #pencil #mechanicalpencil #pilotpen #blackink #ink #originalcharacter #malecharacter #watch #wristwatch #glasses #bowlcut #frauv8

The Yōkai are so happy to have a new family member on the way; it won’t be known whether it’ll be a Kappa or Garappa until it hatches in three days. Afterwards, hopefully Johannes Faustuz can take them back to his current residence in California. - As for Hans and Hans, it’s emotional for them to see a family together when they’re separated from their own. Hansel has the worst luck of the three Kasper Cousins/Siblings in regards with relationships due to his work and wandering eyes; back in his younger years, he was the most popular boy in school with many girls chasing after him. He has two daughters: Evangeline (with his second wife Martha) and Elizabeth Keiko (with his third wife Heidi); his first wife Greta had left him due to his infidelity in less than two years of marriage. Eva is ten years older than Cedrick, while Leisa is seven years older. Like Cedrick, Leisa has odd-eyes, except one brown, the other blue. Neither daughter wants anything to do with the Kasper lineage, but they’ll be featured sometime in the future. - As for Hannah, she never had children for multitude of reasons. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #yokai #garappa #kappa #hyosube #frauv8

Johannes Faustuz was filling up a kiddie pool when Garappa started having labor pains. He’s calling out for his older cousin Hansel because he is a nurse; even though he’s a doctor, Faustuz needs some assistance in dealing with this situation. Egg laying for Garappas is extremely painful and risky considering how large the egg is compared to body size (think of a Kiwi bird). A Garappa will remain with her egg until it hatches; she will have to rely on her mate for food and comfort for the next few days. This is also a vulnerable time since she’ll be weak from egg laying and incubation, not be able to eat to regain her strength. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacter #yokai #garappa #kappa #hyosube #frauv8

Cedrick’s notes on Kappas and Garappas. - Kappa is much shorter than his mate Garappa, kinda like how Johannes Faustuz was once shorter than his wife Freyja when they were children. - In actuality, Kappas and Garappas in Japanese folklore are only male; they can be violent, are pranksters, and are drawn to human women in an unpleasant way (think opening episode of “Goblin Slayer”☹️). I decided to made these Yōkai a bit different so they can be more likable while still drawing from original sources. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalsketch #autodesksketchbook #drawing #notes #sketches #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #animestyle #yokai #kappa #garappa

The Garappa finally reveals herself to the Kasper Siblings - and she’s so adorable with her big eyes and round belly ready to pop. - The Kappa and Garappa are mates expecting their first egg. In their case, a male offspring will be a Kappa, while a female will be a Garappa. I’ll have another “Wunderkind’s Notes” regarding how Kappa/Garappa pairings work. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #yokai #garappa #blackandwhite

Freyja normally doesn’t like having creatures living in her garden, but after hearing what happened to the pond in Kiel, she can’t help but take in the Kappa and Hyōsube. It’s also revealed that a third Yōkai is also homeless - the Garappa. But she’s in hiding and expecting her egg any day now. Johannes Faustuz, Hansel, and Hannah will have to figure out a temporary fix until the Garappa lays her egg. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #yokai #kappa #hyosube

Uncle Heinrich’s pond is gone!😱 Aunt Yoko replaced it with concrete slabs for easy maintenance without any consideration for the Yōkai that lived there for almost fifty years. There’s a few options in mind to fix the problem, but it’s going to be a work of compromise. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #drawing #ipadproart #ipadprodrawing #ipaddrawing #ipadart #halftone #mangastyle #animestyle #comic #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #garden #pond

Kappas love cucumbers, but as a little boy, Johannes Faustuz was only able to get jars of pickles to feed the one living in his uncle’s garden. Pickles are still cucumbers, just... well, pickled; the Kappa is more than happy to eat them regardless whether they are fresh or preserved. - It’s also another shot in making a #drawthisinyourstylechallenge. My challenges don’t get any attention, so I don’t expect much tbh...🤷🏻‍♀️ I included the #lineart if anyone wants to do a #colorthisinyourstyle instead (use #ctiys_frauv8 if you do color). No deadlines, and (if any) entries will be featured on a highlight on my profile.
