Bonus poster illustration I did for school. There may be characters from Hand Jumper in there...

As an aside- there's a backlog of content that I'd love to share with you guys, but can't for spoiler reasons! We'll have to wait for the webtoon to advance a bit.

The history of Bobo

Bobo, the toy Pomeranian who appears in episodes 2 and 4, is actually based on my friend’s real-life dog Coco. Coco is incredibly sweet and a tad manic, which is why, one Christmas, I drew my friend a comic revealing Coco’s dark inner thoughts (image 6).

Coco's appearance would later feature in Hand Jumper as Bobo, Jaeil’s demonic dog. Bobo’s name is simply a result of combining Coco’s name with ‘Boba,’ a second toy Pomeranian owned by another friend of mine. In another li...

Full Launch Illustrations

Special thanks to Samuel and David for sticking it with me through the long, arduous process that was creating Hand Jumper. And to new patrons, welcome! I'm glad to have you for however long you elect to stay :)

These are the full, finished versions of some promotional illustrations I did for Hand Jumper's launch. Last image is a bonus drawing a friend drew me as congratulations for launch.

Happy Halloween!

I was hoping to launch Hand Jumper this month, but my editor informed me that Launch Week slots for this month and the next have been filled! So for now, you can expect HJ to launch the first or second week of January. Two months... so close yet so far...

In the meantime, here's a quick illustration of Sayeon in her Halloween costume to tide you over. I hope you've had a wonderful Halloween.

Not sure which of the finals is best.

Finalizations

It's been a while, folks! I've had a busy month- moved across the whole country and moved all my things into a tiny room, which put things on hold. But we're hitting the ground running. This is the finalized banner design, which will be modified by the graphics team at Webtoon and put up on the homepage during launch! (Second image is a bonus- finally finished that drawing of a certain Aberrant officer.)

As for the production side of things, I'm in the process of acquiring assistants, s...

WIPs

Finally preparing launch assets! These are two quick mockups I made for launch banners (what'll display on the Webtoon home page when the series goes up.) I'm going with the first one; you can see my lineart for it in the third image.

Various out-of-context shots of various characters in various chapters. Wouldn't want to spoil anything : )

Sketch Timelapse

Sketched Sayeon to test out the timelapse function in Clip Studio Paint.

Music is Rust from the game Hotline Miami 2.

animation v2

I finished this a while back, but I've had to put it aside so that I can work on the actual project- the webtoon! There are many elements to it that still need adjusting. The finished video will likely go up after the webtoon has launched.

(Samuel and David, If you'd prefer to be called something else in the end credits portion of the video, do tell me so I can correct it.)

exciting update

An official launch date is in the works. Nothing is set in stone so I can't be saying it here, but what I will say is that it's in the near future!

Video rough draft

This is probably not what you were expecting...

 Here's the first half of that video I was making. I didn't work on this in place of the comic, of course- this was an unrelated project for my university that I decided to center around Hand Jumper. Another twenty-ish seconds are in the works! After some polishing up/adding things in, it'll likely go up on YouTube as a public video : )

Big old concept sketch dump

These sketches were made around when Hand Jumper was greenlit, in an attempt to organize character designs in a more cohesive manner. They've been modified (and vastly improved) now, but it's fun looking back at what could've been.

Some characters are blacked out to avoid major spoilers.

some Hand Jumper character illustrations. (Nothing is finalized, so don't expect them to look exactly like this when the comic comes out!)

Officer Concept Art

One of the goofiest-looking officers. Attached her old design for reference on how much she's evolved- her pigtails and eyes are the only things that stayed!

Fun fact: back when she was in school, she was consistently the top-scoring student of her grade.

happy holidays! another sneak peek

Progress is still chugging along. Happy holidays!

Min

Attached an old drawing of Min at the end there (and by old, I just mean from the Canvas version of the comic.) So that's what three months of artistic growth looks like!

sneak peek

Sneak peek at the new fully colored intro scene to Chapter 1. And by sneak peek, I mean not even my editor has seen it yet.

Everything is getting redrawn and rewritten. Everything.

Sayeon Lee

Fun fact: Sayeon's glasses used to be blue.

Happy Halloween from the cast!

Furiously scribbled out this sketch in one night, all past 1 AM.

First episode storyboards are being approved. Episode 1 is always hardest. Good luck to all you college students in your quarantine schooling.

Sayeon Lee

Warm-up painting of our main character.

As far as progress on the series... the overall story has undergone a lot of revisions so that it will be stronger and more exciting to follow.

Cell 4 (finished image)

I'm currently polishing the full plotline for Hand Jumper (4 seasons!) with my editor, so I can't upload much in the way of comics. But I'm always working on concepts and ideas. Thank you for supporting me!

Coming soon!

Cell 4 (Full Color Version)
