It's #SangSoo September! Han Sooyoung and Yoo Sangah wish everyone heading back to school lots of energy and laser-sharp focus... and hopefully, no distractions when you're working!

bittersweet: a SangSoo zine will open pre-orders in October; be sure to mark your calendars!

Image: The characters Yoo Sangah and Han Sooyoung are seated at a table. Han Sooyoung is holding a paper; she is wearing glasses and glaring at Yoo Sangah with an unimpressed look. Yoo Sangah is resting her head on her hand and smiling gently at Han Sooyoung; she is wearing a visitor's badge around her neck and holding a coffee.

The text on the image reads: Schedule Update! Pre-orders will open in October!

Graphic: The text reads “Applications Closed! Keep an eye on your inbox! Results emails will be sent on May 8th!” The accompanying art is of a purple dragon curled around a white swan. The dragon is yawning, a tear in one eye, while the swan is reading a book. The window behind them shows a starry night sky.

A chaotic-looking collage of scanned sketchbook pages. In the centre is a wolf-like rabbit character with their hands clasped in front of their body, staring at the viewer. Various small drawings of a rabbit with one eye crossed out are overlayed on top like stickers. The rest of the image is a cacophony of overlayed sketches, scribbles, writing, and hand-lettering.

A scanned sketchbook spread depicting a demon-looking girl in street clothes, backdropped by a mixed media collage.

A scanned sketchbook spread depicting exploratory hand-lettering of the words "live laugh love" in graffiti inspired bubble letters.

hihi! i'd like to get some inking practice in with my pens before getting started on lining a larger piece — if you have any general requests (ie. a cat) or any ORV #orvtwt related requests (because my brainrot is back), reply with one! can't guarantee i'll draw them all but direction is appreciated
