The illustration shows a self-portrait of Ender; there is a single character facing the viewer. The character is black and white. Surrounding the character is a flower motif with neon red colours, repeating (composed of identical drawings) except for the corners, and in some parts, it remains behind. The character, dressed in a hoodie and denim pants like an ordinary young person, has a completely contradictory situation in his head, which can be described as terrifying but also cute due to being drawn with a humorous tone. In the upper left corner, a small cute bat-like creature resembling a furry ball pulls the skin of the character's face gently, drawing all attention directly towards us while revealing the character's skull on the right side of the head, as if pulling a blanket from a bed. There is a visible skull on the right side of the character's head, separated from the skin above. There is no blood or detailed other tissue between the skin and the skull; this intense and frightening movement is drawn with a simple, cute comic style. The character's large eyes and huge pupils, almost covering the entire eye, look directly at us with attention and a sense of vacancy. The character is holding a hand scythe similar to that of the Grim Reaper. Designed as a combination of the Grim Reaper and an ordinary young person, this character has taken on a frightening, cute, and humorous appearance.

Ender Yıldızhan

Seo Hye's self-portrait illustration depicts her head and shoulders with her upper body painted in a watercolour texture in black ink, creating a stark contrast against the white background. The illustration is drawn by hand with textured pencil and watercolour painting. Seo Hye's hair falls just above her shoulder, and she has a distinctive dot on her right eye next to her eyebrow. Her facial expression is contemplative, with her lips closed; she is looking straight ahead at the viewer.
