Pre-dating era, Yara poking the lion 🤣 Hamzah and Nuhro never let her pay for food, and while she knows how it goes (SWANA cultural shenanigans) she can't help but push their buttons here and there. Hamzah does not mess around tho LOL

Yara is a little bit of a weirdo, especially when she’s sporting her favorite plushie purse. Good thing Hamzah finds it endearing 😄❤️ (Nuhro is sometimes confused lol) Dating era for these two, also bonus little solo illustration of them from a previous post (he’s opening her soda for her 🥹)

Longing and jealousy 👀 Pre-dating era, cuz we love that yummy tension hehe. This is likely around when Yara begins to react this way to this kind of situation, sending her on some nervous introspection which ends up in denial LOL. She’ll figure out her emotions eventually, hang in there girl.

Officially naming this project "Suns of Suhad". A huge thanks to my friends Noor, Grace, BatteriB and Portlynn for helping me land on the title and a huge huge thanks to Qing for helping me design this typeface! While I'm still developing the whole story with the hopes of releasing it as a graphic novel/webcomic, I'll be working on an art of book (it'll be a romance anthology of the two couples Hamzah & Yara and Nuhro & K) for release this October. Will share more on that soon! Thanks everyone for following along so far and enjoying my sweet little SWANA bebes <3

The return of Noor (Hamzah’s niece/cousin’s kid!) First time Yara meets the little cutie and gets a new name LOL (pre-dating era). And Hamzah is just over there fighting for his life. Fun fact, Yara is Lebanese, but she greets Noor in Iraqi dialect (shlonich) because that’s what Noor’s familiar with ♥️🇮🇶

I'm super excited to officially announce the "Suns of Suhad" Romance Anthology ArtBook, coming this October! This artbook is a collection of all the "Suns of Suhad" art and comics I've posted thus far (ie. all the Hamzah/Yara and Nuhro/K goodies), and will include some book exclusive art and comics that I won't be posting online - it's just a little thank you for supporting the book! I'll be selling this puppy at Lightbox so if you're around and want one, please stop by! I am hoping to open a limited online run, as I know some people are not local, but it will take some time depending on how Lightbox stock sells and setting up an online shop etc. (since I don't normally do online sales LOL) but I'll keep y'all posted on that! Also stoked to be partnering with Nonstop printing to make this book as beautiful and high quality as possible.

Hamzah buying Yara cutesy keychains and harassing Nuhro at the same time (pre-dating era, he lost a bet to her - purposefully Nuhro would argue. Post dating he'd buy these for her anytime, all the time.) The man is normally pretty nonchalant and easy going, but if he's close with you he can be an absolute menace.

Yara's birthday is March 10 so Happy Birthday Yara! (a few hours late on this post sorry ;_;) Just the gang out celebrating the little pisces lady, circa pre-dating era for Hamzah and Yara. I have some dating-era birthday sketches too cuz they looked too good in these fits to not do some lovey-dovey stuff, will get to those soon.
