Hey! This is Suubi (they/them): Animation x Computer Science double major, Immersive Media minor, rising second-year, and certified menace. After attending the virtual camp in 2022, I knew I wanted to be a part of the crew. As for interests, I really enjoy webcomics, indie video games, and anything with reaaaalllyyy pretty art (*cough cough* spiderman into the spiderverse *cough* arcane *cough* hades). I've got a soft spot for anything and everything artistic or technical, but more than anything else, I care about stories, especially ones of marginalized folk. That's a bit why I'm so happy to be here -- y'all got stories to tell. <3
Hello, I'm Lily. I'm 21, majoring in Studio Art/Game Design, still deciding on which 1 I want to commit to. I like doing digital art in clip studio and have a knowledge about other programs too, still deciding on if I wanna commit to one! This is my first year as a youth leader, I hope to to do a good job! I like working on personal projects, mostly incomplete though since life is so busy. I do mostly illustration and character design work, mostly in 2D. I play all sorts of games and so I have interests and incomplete projects on various genres, except FPS games, those aren’t really my thing.
