A digital self-portrait illustration of Gizem. The mood of the image is dreamy and playful. There is a woman with dark brown, wavy hair smiling slightly. Her skin colour is vibrant orange-pink, painted flatly. Her hair is dark blue to turquoise with a spray brush texture. Her big, puffy hair dominates the illustration. From her hair, black abstract wavy shapes are coming out and creating a messy pattern for the surroundings. She has relatively slit eyes and a crooked nose. Her face looks towards the audience while her right shoulder is more visible. There is an empty white space below her shoulders, again patterned by the black wavy shapes that come from her hair, but this time, they look like water waves.

A digital collage self-portrait of the artist Sabrina Tirvengadum illustrated in neon green, blue, and pink tones with Photoshop tool icons, on a purple-patterned background. The use of neon colours and details such as the green face and pink hair give the impression of an artificial portrait. Sabrina, a woman with long wavy hair, has her arms crossed behind her neck and looks with a neutral expression. She is wearing a long-sleeved top with an intricate pattern in which details such as flowers, leaves and the sun are recognisable.

A self-portrait illustration of Hatiye, drawn in vivid colours on a dark and warm orange background. Hatiye is a medium light-skinned person with a dark and short bob haircut. She smiles with her back turned and looks backwards. She is wearing a coat resembling the yellow sunflowers. An imaginary blue bird, which she always uses in her illustrations, is flying towards her face.
