Setting up my new PC right now! A test sketch.
Panel 1: Sayeon would still be the leader of Cell 4. Taeho has many, many problems with this.
Panel 2: Jungwoo intuitively feels an imbalance in the universe.
Hello everyone.
You may have noticed that I didn't update Patreon this month. My life has been fairly tumultuous as of late: I was at a Webtoon residency for half a month, flew home, immediately watched Brunhilda (my PC) crash and delete her entire C-drive, and then puked for five days straight because of some kind of f...

The high resolution, colored version of our girls :) Once I have time, I'd also like to draw Min and Iseul on the drums and guitar, respectively. I'm sorry for not drawing them as often-- I'm not biased against their characters; I just really like to draw women!
I'm currently in LA at a Webtoon boot camp thing. Super i...
Samin is not beating the cigarette mom allegations
In Ep. 54, Ryujin mentions that continuously using essence can actually give you a growth spurt. White (Min) and Samin were supposed to look older than their actual ages, because they've been abusing their essence for a long time (Kid Sayeon's friend's dad mentions tha...
I remember desperately drawing this during one of my final classes so that I could post it when Hand Jumper returned... and then I completely forgot to, haha. In fact, I'm pretty sure I didn't post about Hand Jumper's return at all. It's a wonder anyone is reading this series!
Sayeon doesn't like video games, but she's ...

Hello everyone! Sorry for the slow updates-- I'm in the process of graduating right now, and with that comes a lot of packing and moving and saying goodbyes to old friends.
These are some spreads from the "beta" edition of Second Suns, my senior thesis project. The full thing is riddled with spoilers, so I can't release...

April 29th approaches! In another life, Cell 4 would be trying to make it as a shitty school band. I think Sayeon would play the bass, but not very well. She doesn't have a musical bone in her body. Min would play the drums. Iseul would play the guitar and sing, lalala.
I made this for a homework assignment, actually......

For lunch every day, I used to eat a full baguette from my favorite French bakery. Sometimes with olive oil and butter, sometimes with nothing at all. I would just bite chunks out of it while walking down the street.

For warmup, I redrew Sayeon crashing out in Episode 53!
She's not one to indulge in her emotions-- when she smiles for longer than a few minutes, her face hurts. Before she returned to the others, Sayeon made sure to snap this moment out of existence... so technically speaking, this embarrassing meltdown never happ...

Making preparations for the return right now. Hand Jumper's colors were originally supposed to go from bright and saturated to increasingly darker and more realistic, until it was eventually entirely monochromatic (with the exception of essence, and the color red.) While I've long abandoned that idea, I still refresh the pale...

Sayeon's gift is both ideally suited to her abilities and also the cruelest power she could have received. She's a perfectionist, and on top of that-- or maybe because of that-- she's a person absolutely mired in regret. What could I have done better? Should I rewind? Should I extract more information? Is this the most de...

Hello everyone! The department chair is reviewing our theses at the end of the month, and everyone I know is breaking down. It's a mess over here! Thankfully, my panic response doesn't kick in until 6 hours before a deadline, so I'm chilling in my room right now, munching on a plate of toasted garaetteok. We'll see how I feel...

I have about a month left to submit my thesis. Times are rough... I miss drawing Hand Jumper. I miss writing every week.
More than anything, I'd like to read a book. I haven't had time to read in several months. I think the sight of a library would bring me to my knees.
I hope you guys are safe and well!
Aera is one of my favorite dead characters. As Head of the Aberrant Corps, Aera was both a Level 10 Captain and unanimously elected Head by all other Captains-- so she wasn't just powerful, but overwhelmingly popular. Her death on Seju Island shook the Aberrant Corps, and put the whole organization on a downward...

Happy Holidays, everyone! We've made it through finals! I have a few more winter-related HJ drawings to post in the coming days. But those will have to wait until after Christmas :)

Started out as a sketch of Sayeon, but I feel like this pose suits Ryujin much more. You can see me struggling to get her face right because I began with Sayeon's slightly narrower, longer one. Referenced a photo of Sofia Steinberg. Song is The Saints by People in the Box.

I'm testing some new pens and coloring styles :)
Same brushes... two very different sketches.
Found this cool (digital) brush that simulates watercolors. I haven't painted painted something in a long time, and I honestly thought I forgot how to do it. But the Min painting came very quickly and naturally to me-- took maybe thirty minutes.
They're both sa...

For a long time, I was too embarrassed to look back on the Canvas version of Hand Jumper. If you don't know what I'm talking about: before Webtoon began paying me to create Hand Jumper, I published it for free on Webtoon Canvas, a part of the platform that allows anyone to upload their comic.
I drew the first pages of H...

I can imagine her saying, "Perfection is not something to aspire for-- it is the bare minimum." I'm lazy. I left this painting of her imperfect.

Was looking through my sketches from last year and saw the first image here-- it sucked balls. I wanted to fix it.
If you find that your art isn't punching hard enough, check the contrast by adding a Color layer above everything, and then filling that layer with black! Contrast that is too low, too high, or directing y...
Sketches of the MCs of some other series I had planned! Alice is from Goetia, a supernatural thriller (with some fantasy action) about demonology. Sayeon is from Hand Jumper. Daisy is from an escape/puzzle room series that was mostly about deceiving the people trapped with you. Title would probably be A Contest of Lies o...

Hello! Now that Season 2 is in full swing, I wanted to touch base with you all. If you have any questions for me-- about Hand Jumper, writing, drawing, or creating in general-- comment below, and I'll respond to the best of my ability :)
Spoilers for the latest Fast Pass:
Ryujin finally got her power reveal! It's been, what... three years coming?
On paper, Sayeon's gift is very simple: she can turn back time by a handful of seconds. But on a thematic level, things are a little more complicated than that.
This is a power that emotionally isolate...

Some sketches I did of Sayeon with somewhat shorter bangs. Sayeon's current hairstyle is meant to look kind of dorky and uncool-- like if someone with bangs stopped getting their hair trimmed, and didn't care enough to style it properly (which is, in Sayeon's case, exactly what happened.) Sayeon had short hair for most o...
