CATBOY ANTONIO CHANDRANI-RIVERA art gallery by naila moonsi.


The goal of this part of the gallery is 200 "pages" of catboy ! Antonio Chandrani-Rivera artworks done over the course of possible years. Then it will one day be compilied into an official catboy Tono zine. At one point I'll throw most of them onto Patreon instead, but for now the first dozens will have their own dedicated gallery.

The background for this project: Itch delisted me during the height of their pr9n bans so I started a catboy ! Tono zine where other characters, particularly Alejandro, will occasionally feature, but everyone will be at least five feet apart. Tono will be a catboy!!! Alejo will be a wolfy!!! That's about it.

Current count: 7 satisfactory catboy ! Antonio Chandrani-Rivera.

Let's begin with the catboy ! Tono gallery.

catboy antonio chandrani-rivera with some '90's computer graphics OR '80's aesthetic design style. the polka dots are dark in his blue hair like waves, there's a starry but dark pattern in his dark blue shirt or diver's suit, and he has cat ears. he's grinning with his red eyes low-lit and his fuchsia pupils a little noticeable. he has a breezy smiling expression. it says on the right in pink 'i might be able to manage a smile around you once more. only a fool expects anything at all to ever go well again. between you and me...' with a pink simple box surrounding the pixel font. on antonio's other side there's a pink-red apple that says 'sweet darling apple' underneath it and above him to the top left there's '80's style vaporwave pastel liquid with ribbon patterns atop of it. the bg is aqua-teal.

party like it's '99? or was it '89?

(v quick catboy ! antonio chandrani-rivera doodle just to bring back my og "fast" spectral eyes, which will now occasionally be utilized for low-lit spectral eyes.)

'“It's not that I don't love you.”

Truth is, these flowers aren't
your favorite. But they remind
you of someone warm.

You're not sure if you want
to be thinking of him.

Or someone else, long lost.'

Catboy Antonio stares down at a few sunflowers or black-eyed susans or false sunflower of the like with an emotional look in his red eyes. He has blue hair like waves, darker blue cat ears with pink insides, and yellow sunflowers in his hands. Otherwise his world is grayscale. He wears a lighter panjabi and has darker skintone.

just wanted to grayscale the boy.

catboy ! antonio chandrani-rivera holding sunflowers or black-eyed susan flowers or something.

This version has chibi Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's cat ears in the ERROR message.  A pixelated retro-looking desktop where fernando chandrani-rivera is looking very gently at a cheery diego garza. fernando has flowing hair that seems to pull down into a braid with a pink ribbon, while diego has a dark pomade and niko-niko generally closed cheery eyes going on out of happiness. the desktop background is a rose pink and a few icons populate it--a world-like icon, a 'notepack' icon, an anime eye with a fuchsia spectral pupil, a simple chibi bunny icon nearer to fernando, and an odd paw-like icon by an error screen. by fernando's chest there's an odd diamond icon with a heart. all these icons have a fantasy language under them. the error message displays a chibi twin antonio chandrani-rivera with squiggly soft red chibi eyes and he has his usual blue hair like waves and wears a chibi blue shirt with soft falling blue sleeves like waves. there's aquamarine waves behind him on the error message. the error message says 'A devil-may-care ERROR OCCURRED.' beside the text there's a pink pixelated broken heart icon. the error message's upper section is a wave-like aquamarine stripe. there's two other error message--one looks normal like the main one above and another has a strange gold tone with a rainbowing array to it.

Retro Fernando Chandrani-Rivera and Diego Garza on a desktop wallpaper; just had a vision for it. Of course it wound up an "eye catch image" for the upcoming visual novel, as can be seen here.

The main focus initially was chibi kitty Antonio; I realized late that I based the chibi style on 2000's shimeji art styles! Due to realizing my subconscious inspo, I looked up shimeji and again and discovered they recently came back into vogue!!! Party like it's 2008!!! B)

Saw it via its active Reddit @ shimeji BTW and an active Bluesky tag. Very happy to learn it, though I highly recommend avoiding getting any 2000's era shimeji, since they're ancient and probably mess up modern computers.

A catboy version of Antonio Chandrani-Rivera stares softly at Alejandro Altaha. He has blue hair like waves, red eyes, and is wearing a tanktop with a pale undershirt. He has muscled arms that are prominent. Alejandro is laughing joyfully. He has his eyes closed, has long dark falling hair shown violet, and wears a simple pink tunic. End cover description.
antonio chandrani rivera with blue hair like waves is staring at beach waves. he is extremely chibi aesthetics. he has big red eyes and is looking sad at the waters. his eyes are sparkling. he has a white fox mask with red flowery forehead lines (3 of them) and little red whiskers and a red nose and red fox smiling mouth, tied on his head with a red ribbon. the rest of the canvas isn't that intense, mostly teal-aqua. the beach seems a bit staticky but it's made to look like sand. the ocean waves are a pretty aqua. at the top it says 'there's something you don't want to forget.' aside from the fox mask, antonio has black kitty ears, wears dark gloves, a shirt with short black sleees and a black kitty on a white shirt, and wears a teal lungi with lines. he has his feet in the water. it says 'darling antonio.' there's pink and silvery flower petals flying everywhere. there's a lone golden flower petal behind him, seeming right by him.

Kitty. These two are already in the short story section (Here at "Blue Horizon: what he sees at your side.") and while I orignally drew them for fun, somehow they became part of a prelude short story to the upcoming visual novel! Essentially I stared at chibi nekomimi ! Antonio and had an Experience of writing caliber.



Catboy Antonio shenanigans continue with his rougeish fall of hair, catboy dark cat ears, red eyes and bemused expression. He has muscled arms. Light aqua BG. It shows Paint Tool Sai 1's layout.

So I learned my sis got Paint Tool Sai 1 some time ago on this tablet I'm currently utilizing for sketching until I can get back to my spooky Blue Rize game.

I stopped practicing art for a long time and only ever utilized Photoshop. Despite that I long admired and romanticized the OG Paint Tool Sai AND....

After finally using it, I have to say I favor Clip Studio letting you select multiple layers to adjust an eye, etc. There's also certain functions made intuitive in ancient versions of Photoshop and many current art programs that I realized I would have to search up for the OG SAI. I do like its main brushes and adjustability.

Going back to Clip Studio Paint. Despite this I'll always admire the vibrancy of 2000's Sai artwork on Deviantart. I haven't tried Sai 2 but am curious about it. (˵ •̀ ᴗ •́ ˵ ) ✧

Chibi Tono foreground Ale background. Antonio has pink cat ears pink shirt with teal tiger red eyes and bemused expression going "nothing's working..." with teal underline. Alejandro behind him has long dusk pink hair and teal shirt with darker teal heart with wings and snek below. Both have sparkling chibi red eyes. Teal text by Ale by the art is A dog can only scratch not give scratches sweatdrop pensive kaomoji Raj is silver going no they are nice teal title on the side says oekaki blues sweatdrop on the opposing side a big blue VN box with red nametag that says error and the text below says define Antonio chan-rive cut off. On pink section the teens are talking! nothing's working!!! On the astra they said check pen pressure & tablet GRRR - Ale. Ye - Raj. Yellow-green Fernando why is my brother a strawberry anime smiley sweatdrop - not naan. fruity shampoo - raj. Computer-error-implying blue txt beneath says notes dot texty Let me speak on it. The stressor we've been dealing with is how little he cares for what is... done to his reputation and ... vs ... for him AND I BELIEVE ITS MY FAULT Layla even spoke to me about it of all people upon Imion and I will have to figure out what to do. I must. It never matters if its out of love ... he as a person matters to me not [cut off text like earlier].

Too lazy to fix Wacom on my tablet era. The tablet itself has no pen because it was lost like 5 years ago.

Despite the awkwardness, this one involves themes in the upcoming game and series as a whole! I learned oekaki boards have become uncommon, so I'm glad cinni's one (part of Neocities) sparked interest back up! Here's a thread of others I've read are active in 2025.

These were drawn in the days prior to 10/23/2025.
