The cover art for the volume is by "大一酱", it's a commissioned piece, and I've selected the lineart of Shizun! The final piece is somewhat spoilerly as it's of the two in later chapters: so it'll be revealed in its entirety then.
Hello! lavandul here: I've gotten the motivation to draw the character references // update them! Here are LXX and SQL in their current state~ Please zoom out if you feel if the aspect ratio is warped :/ These are rough sketches I've done with the watercolor brushes I have on CSP.
I hope these serve as better visuals when everyone is reading 👻

As XingXue does age throughout the series, he'll go through major changes. Future references and art will be posted when it's relevant ^^
