2025 main art gallery of BLUE HORIZON characters by naila moonsi.


A new page for the upcoming new year! It's 12/22/2024. I might have a bit of art to show off soon.

The 2022 to 2024 page has a secret! Poke at it if you want. If it's too difficult to find, it's on the main page with other secrets, too. It's secret, but it's not "secret."

Have created a proper sketch gallery section for the site on 06/01/2025. You can find it here.

Let's begin with the main gallery.

Alia Atif-Akinyemi with dark brown skin, a cold, intense frowning expression has a lot the of curls of her hair billowing to the left, shown as an dark blue tone. She's wearing an indigo shirt. She seems to be guarding a Layla Chandrani who has dark brown skin, a broody expression, with red eyes and furrowed silver brows and a frown. She has wavy silver hair, a dark eyepatch with esoteric moon-and-stars design on it, and wears a white suit with a red tie and dark blue shirt. Behind them is the pulling in of the ocean of the grayish beachside they stand upon. It says on the bottom right, 'You're not the sort of (crossed out words upcoming) girl god goddess deity (crossed out words done) bitch who cares about people. Alia might as well be the worst. A hero.'

since forever ago.

(alia atif-akinyemi on the left and layla chandrani on the right.)

Have decided to drop a sketch into the main gallery again due to liking the action energy of it. This isn't colored to the point that I can manage, but I'll drop any sketches I particularly like in the main gallery at points. Drawn and dropped on 06/13/2025.

antonio chandrani-rivera is standing around, implied flippant as alejandro's alleged 'fire turkey' (a sort of gold-orange-reddish phoenix-like creature) is by his face, which he is reducing to its original for implied solid form with his oceanic waters. antonio is easygoing as he asks 'a warm bath...?' alejandro's fire chicken which is a phoenix with a number of eyes outlined in blue is coming from his implied sunlight core (or by his heart if not exactly from it). alejandro is sitting around in the air, implied to be floating, gauging the world with irritation as he stares with some sort of threatening look at the viewer (or possibly someone, or is spacing out, wanting to kick ass). alejandro says, 'my heart isn't lost.' a hazy earthquaking thought that's implied to come from antonio or one of his past lives says 'your stupid turkey is.' there's oceanic aquamarine pull of waters in a planetary ring around antonio and alejandro that antonio has done for them. the both of them are highly wet if not totally soaked. the phoenix has also created a sort of light halo or ring around them. antonio vaguely keeps them together by them without necessarily trapping alejandro. their wet hairs are mixing together. antonio has blue hair like waves, brown skin, and red eyes. alejandro has red eyes, long violet hair implied dark and wears a simple pink-red tunic. the text by alejandro says 'alejandro caldera is noticeably taken by antonio chandrani-rivera. this is a problem. this boy did not go where everyone expected and is now his number one. the problem is twofold. according to raj rivera, antonio chandrani-rivera is not working with chandrani interests, let alone herrera. his allegiance is likely with [BLACKED OUT TEXT] and as such, alejandro caldera is highly susceptible to betrayal alongside many allies such as the [BLACKED OUT FACTION]. farrah chandrani has been our in regarding the situation, but the girl herself has a worse demon on her than [BLACKED OUT NAME] and the rest of THEM.' The BG is pink.

ABOVE IS THE SEXIER VERSION A for the prompt I made up on my own, '"shonen anime husbands" Aletono.' Below will be a total flip.

SO... soon after I created the cute game-style Aletono donut date art that can be found in the sketch gallery here, I decided I wanted to try creating a total opposite energy with the theme of "shonen anime husbands" Aletono. Thus, these sketches were born--while I haven't gone all-out the way I could coloring them, I decided I like them enough and that they're pretty swanky enough to drop in the main art gallery instead of just the new sketch gallery.

Despite basing it on the concept of "shonen anime husbands," these artworks depict Antonio Chandrani-Rivera and Alejandro [Caldera-]Altaha's canon environment. Antonio Chandrani-Rivera is on the left and Alejandro Altaha is on the right.

OKAY.

So I decided to separate the two artwork with the text explaning them. Since the other artwork has blood and gore and a totally different energy, here it is below after some chatter so it's not that jarring:

antonio chandrani-rivera with red eyes implied via dark fuchsia is bloodied and it's implied he's bleeding from his quote unquote core, however there is a dark crystal-like star-like space implied with a star shape, which is an implication of his soul. there's a rainbowing halo-like thing surrounding his implied soul. alejandro with red eyes via dark fuchsia implied as fuchsia seems traumatized and unhappy, staring hollowly at the viewer with a slight tear from his eyes. there's slight blood on him, implied to be from antonio, and the blood mixes into his hair, and his hair is draped over antonio's arm. antonio is smiling lackadaisacal or with blood loss, with blood dripping from his nose and blood in his own blue hair like waves. there's water waves behind them. alejandro has long violet hair implied dark and wears a simple pink-red tunic. there's an aquamarine water stream behind them. it says antonio chandrani-rivera and alejandro caldera-altaha with the caldera crossed out. below is 'Blue Horizon,' the name of this series. the text by alejandro says 'THE TRUTH IS, do you think we expect you to talk to us? It's been a while. I don't understand. I was always planning to die and now we're supposed to have hope because obviously you'll change from this farce. You are a gorgeous demi-god of SELF-SACRIFICE.' Die is crossed out and 'demi-god' from 'You are a gorgeous demi-god of SELF-SACRIFICE.' is crossed out with a misty 'man' written atop of it. The BG is pink.


As noted above, it's an alteration of the same base art with a different feel attached to it. This was my original vision, but since I like the romantasy side of Blue Horizon a lot, I prefer the first artwork IN A WAY. I do like the themes Blue Horizon explores.

Here's The Protector and the Annihilation WIP animatic trailer. Uploaded on 05/27/2025 but dropped in this gallery on 06/01/2025 with this latest small batch.

Here's the incomplete animatic trailer for The Protector and the Annihilation...! Don't plan to add too much more since this was my first attempt animating on Clip Studio Paint. Will still take my time finishing it unless it suddenly grabs all my brainworms in the next days.

fernando stares gloomily at antonio. he looks identical, but has 'black hair' (shown violet) worn in a braid and golden eyes with the same brown skin and appearance. he wears a dark blue shirt with a pink bandom-looking boxiness on it. Fraternal twin Antonio with blue hair like waves, red-brown skin and red eyes smiles a bit sadly at Raj, who has silver hair, but a majority of Raj is not shown

The above is an alteration of game art for the sake of a side game on this site and several others. This art panel doesn't exist within the Blue Horizon: Hibiscus game, and is instead an alteration...! The characters featured are the identical twins Fernando Chandrani-Rivera and Antonio Chandrani-Rivera. Antonio is looking at Raj off-panel. (🌘🌑🌒 )

I put off dropping the couple acrylic charm arts for the Kickstarter here...! All three are below.

The Antonio and Alejandro acrylic charm design! Antonio is mixed fantasy-counterpart-South Asian and thus wearing a lungi.

 antonio chandrani-rivera with blue hair like waves, brown skin, and red eyes is relaxing in a dark blue lungi with bright green leaf designs by the beach with alejandro with red eyes, light bronze skin, long violet hair that stands for black hair. he appears gung-ho and is wearing pinkish red swim trunks with small angular green designs at the bottom. there's a cliff behind them and white cloud against bright blue skies. on the beach by alejandro there's a aqua blue pool with a pink flower in it and on the other side by antonio there's a light blue shell.

The Layla and Alia acrylic charm design!

 layla chandrani with wavy silver hair, brown skin, a red eye and an esoteric black eyepatch is reachingwith a worried expression toward alia atif-akinyemi with red eyes and dark blue curls that fall all over. alia atif-akinyemi is smiling. layla is wearing a mostly-covering dress-like periwinkle swimsuit with shorts and lined design-work that implies waviness of the cloth. alia is wearing a two-piece teal swimsuit with an opaque skirt. there's an immense dark blue oceanic wave behind them with starriness showing within that alia seems to be twisting and has a wave crest to it. there's a beach implied to be behind them.

The Armando and Ranvir acrylic charm design, featuring Armando's twin Antonio [Herrera-]Rivera! There's like 6 peeps in this thing.

 armando and ranvir are holding hands. armando has red eyes, long dark blue hair that stands for black, and light bronze skin. he wears red swimtrunks. ranvir has red eyes, an overgrown flipped blue undercut look, and dark brown skin. ranvir's looking at armando extremely affectionately, while armando seems to either be enjoying ranvir holding his hand or just experiencing emotions in general. armando's identical twin antonio is smiling. his main difference point are the two moles at the bottom right of his cheeks. he's smiling softly at the camera as it were. they're at the beach with a crab, shell and little pool with a flower EXCEPT...there's an immense shadow that leads into a place that's the implication of a world that's created by armando's mind, with a floating window showing a tree and clouds, an eye floating underneath, a road with a seagull flying above it, and a stepped pyramid-like building at one side.

I keep making cover art! This is for the upcoming 18k interactive fiction/text-based family + LGBTQ/gay/boys' love game featuring Raj Rivera...! It should drop within a few days' time (it's currently 02/21/25).

Here's a smaller version without the text:

Here's additional artwork that will be a part of the game!

Spoiler art for main routes within the game:

New 02/25/25 character art with extreme spoilers for a route within the game:

Secret route art.

[Current note 02/23/25. Moved the old Hibiscus artwork to the sketch dump section of the site, here.]





I created the cover art for the side story novella/light novel and dropped it after the new year, around January 23rd...! It came to me as a vision. (I'll put up a version of the artwork without any text in the way eventually; am just being lazy RN.)

chibi antonio chandrani-rivera is quote unquote singing and/or (likely actually) speaking to alejandro altaha, who is blushing at him. cousin layla chandrani is shocked and concerned toward antonio's identical twin fernando seeming to have colorful tv/computer-fritzing static on him, and he quote unquote sings or speaks with a rainbowing pixelated music note. he has an eye of ra or horus on him. his shirt has a sun with an odd pink-red pixel on it. antonio description: closed eyes, brown skin, blue hair like waves, blue panjabi-like attire with 6 stars around a moon and waves below. aqua pants. blue shoes. alejandro: smiling, blushing, red eyes, light bronze skin, red tunic, pink wavy pattern at the bottom with a rainbow of eyes, a sky blue shirt collar with sun pattern, dark pink pants, sky blue shoes. layla: white wavy hair, darker brown skin than antonio, black eyepatch with esoteric moon-and-stars, shocked and concerned expression and exclamation point and question mark, white european suit, green shirt and red tie, aqua pants and blue shoes. fernando: identical to antonio excepting freckle and braid and 'regular' violet-looking black hair. aqua shirt, sun design, odd pink-red pixel by the chest, blue pants, no shoes. staticking song icon, staticking tv + computer rainbow

Beyond that, there's two new regular artwork upcoming...! Until then, here's a sketch of the Main 4's Ancient selves via blog. It's of Nasir Hadid-Salah (Antonio Chandrani-Rivera) and Leila Hadid-Salah (Layla Chandrani) and their besties. Will be finishing it up soon.

As for the rest of the newest artwork...they are mainly all chibi! One is the header art for the site now, and the rest are enamel pin designs.

The header art:

The enamel pin designs...!

antonio chandrani-rivera with blue hair like waves, brown skin, and red eyes is stressed and trying to reach alejandro altaha with light bronze skin, red eyes and long violet hair with pink highlights, who is smiling up at him adorably and seems a bit oblivious to his stress. there is a scarlet reddish pink rose beneath. the outlines are normal black and violet. antonio is wearing an indigo blue chandrani outfit with silvery stars and moons falling into waves. alejandro is wearing a pink-red outfit with white flowers reaching up toward his abdomen with green leafy design trailing down to the side. there's an extra skirt that's darker pink and he has a shirt collar design that's gold blue with waning and waxing and full moon design. the bg is light spring green. Armando Rivera with dark blue falling hair, light bronze skin, amber eyes and a red speck presses his hand against Ranvir's in an attempt to hold it. They are both blushing. Ranvir with blue waterfall undercut hair, dark brown skin, umber eyes with a red fleck is peering down at the hand, seeming a bit bothered. Armando is wearing a violet shirt with darker violet undershirt as well as gray pants and white sneakers. Ranvir is wearing the dark blue Chandrani uniform with a visible hoodie and a fall of silver stars and moons into waves. There's a rainbowing sunflower behind them; it is a fantasy sunflower with blue filaments. The BG is light violet. Alia with dark brown skin, red eyes and curly indigo blue hair falling behind her is staring at Layla with a pensive expression and a blush, while Layla with brown skin, red eyes and wavy silver hair looks more wonderingly at her. They are above a red water lily flower with yellow filaments and there is a red ladybug with dark dots on it. There is a blue-green pond surrounding them and green outside implying grasses. Alia wears a dark blue captain-like outfit that's long with blue pants and V-like coat-lining that's light blue with silvery buttons and has a frilly white shirt collar beneath. Layla wears a white suit with red tie and dark blue shirt.

As noted on the main page, Alejandro's frock-like attire is based on historic photos of Apache men's outfits. Antonio's is just his Chandrani family's fantasy uniform. As noted in the 11/23/24 blog post, Alejandro [Caldera-]Altaha is mixed Apache and Mexican.

I didn't think about how 2025 would begin with the chibification of Blue Horizon characters. Fun way to begin it, art-wise...! Relaxing. I've been used to drawing chibis for a long time, despite otherwise doing an extremely extensive art break for about ten years.

Here's a few of the last artworks of 2024:

Late October 2024 additions:
