2025 sketch gallery of BLUE HORIZON characters by naila moonsi.
Here's the 06/01/2025 sketch gallery drops with art spanning back to early April 2025.
Below is a sketch batch starting from late May 2025. Will continue adding to it in the next weeks, since I've been trying to draw more.
LAST SKETCH ARTWORK FOR 2025...! Includes Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's last blog posts of the year on his secret Tumblr blog, though he doesn't seem aware of it.
Last sketch of the year...! A photo of Antonio Chandrani-Rivera taken with a mysterious 2000's A.D. cell phone camera, despite him having been born 100,000 years in the future.
From Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's Secret Dream Blog.
![[Direct description from Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's Secret Dream Blog on Tumblr.] It's my selfie! I look cool AF and tried smiling. I have dark falling hair and dark tone to my skin; there's aquamarine lighting from our atmosphere in the lower horizon, but there's countless stars in the dark skies behind me.
My Red eyes are glowing more than usual, hmm. The pupils look odder than usual. Usually there isn't any gold to the glowing fuchsia of my pupils. How odd. [End description.]](/antoniochandranisdreamblog/nighttimetonoforneocitiesbbz.png)

((( Artist's notes: I tried doing a '90's anime-styled skintone lighting with aquamarines amid the darker colors. Then I wound up altering it due to wanting a different aesthetic and color tone. Did my best, but am unsure what to think of it RN. )))
That's all for 2025, folks...!
wintertides or something...!!! in canon??? we'll see.
diego working v hard to give fernando chandrani-rivera a new quantum physics book for christmas!!!
fernando is already reading the quantum physics book volume ii…!?
(Small Christmas offering that's a spinoff from the February 2024 Valentines edit found WAY below [may stop being lazy and link it with an a-name later] and easiest on Tumblr. Will this be the last thing here before I switch to the 2026 gallery and make going between the pages more dynamic. I hope not hahaha.)
Sketch dump between December 11 to December 22 below. Became increasingly thematic (kitty).


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.

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.

I dropped these comics here because I feel like the 2025 sketch gallery has way more context you can gain about Antonio and possibly Fernando. Will drop with an actual side comic batch in the side comics section later.
First time I drew on an Android tablet and on Ibis Paint! Happened December 11. I used to be stressed about sharing my art process since it starts off very rough, but wound up liking the art process vid enough to show it off here and elsewhere. Really enjoy Ibis Paint and am excited to have a particularly portable thing to draw on, especially by spring and summer. :D
THIS ONE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE UPCOMING FIRST NOVEL, "THE PROTECTOR AND THE ANNIHILATION." View at your own discretion.
Initial context: Antonio at 15 has not grown up (UNLIKE the upcoming horror game where he'll be 20 or 21) and Antonio at 15 is a mess. HOWEVER despite this he's both a trans ally and listens to women. (And despite that he will be v messy. Cannot explain everything that happens in the books without over-spoiling.)
Antonio Chandrani-Rivera Brain @ 15 Starter Pack:
Halloween sketch of Antonio Chandrani-Rivera a few years after his teens.
Will be part of the official catboy!Antonio zine + comic after I clean it up some more. Right click and open in new tab to check out his five-'o-clock shadow better. Drawn 10/29 or 10/30 and dropped here on Halloween.
₍^. .^₎Ⳋ
I worked on a few sketches for the upcoming official catboy!Antonio zine + comic during the foray of bricking my ancient refurbished computer while attempting to put Win11 on it (they said not to but I saw a workaround. Don't do that to your ancient refurbished computers):

This last 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.
together, often unworried.
identical twins maria and mario herrera. (mario is trans.) again, they're cousins to the chandrani-rivera triplets. drawn 09/28 and dropped 09/29/2025.

updated with the original starry background, which i accidentally turned off after saving it as a second canvas and doing extra edits there, whoops. had to redo a few details, but shouldn't be too noticeable. second one dropped on 09/30/2025.
Diego Garza on the left and Fernando Chandrani-Rivera on the right, full canvas. Drawing them was inspired by a recent Blue Horizon side story.
At the top of the canvas, Fernando is wearing a lungi due to being half-fantasy-counterpart-South-Asian. He's wearing a wetsuit at the side. Drawn and dropped 07/08/2025.

alia atif-akinyemi on the left and layla chandrani on the right. i liked the lineart version with a different expression so dropping that one here too! drawn and dropped on 06/22/2025.
bothered today, so here's a 2000's era alejandro sketch i wasn't planning to share for a long time.
water background behind the sketch is a brush by zelleruna on clip studio assets.
this sketch won't be relevant for a really long time. got the concept in my head after drawing the 2010's to 2020's antonio sketch, but wasn't totally satisfied. decided to go ahead and finish it tonight anyway. finished between 06/21 to 06/22/2025.
(for people who keep track of the side stories i've been releasing, just a reminder that 2010's antonio references being with alejandro, and i said 2000's alejandro above.)
how to hold hand by the uni dorms.
liliana caldera on the left and rosalia altaha on the right.
(note that liliana is fantasy counterpart latina (mexican) but rosalia is fantasy counterpart indigenous american (apache)...! (alejandro and adrián caldera-altaha are mixed children.))
purposefully messed around with this one and settled on a fake low-poly game appearance (created from 2d art)…! that i love or hate. unsure rn.
alia atif-akinyemi on the left and layla chandrani on the right with a mentor-y figure in the middle as mysterious as layla. drawn and dropped on 06/14/2025.

(1 out of 2 or 3 pages up! First page dropped on 06/18/2025.
If anyone notices the secret, I'll be seriously happy. It's p difficult to catch, IMO.
PLACEHOLDER COMIC AREA TO FIX THE CARDINAL LAYLA DESIGN SIN DEBACLE. She wears an eyepatch for [Spectral Eyes] reasons.)

me & you!
(aletonos. antonio chandrani-rivera on the left and alejandro [caldera-]altaha on the right.) second one is an experimental pixelated version; unsure what to think of it. drawn and dropped here on 06/05/2025.
the woman who despises the past and future. the here and the now, alia atif-akinyemi. added here 06/04/2025.
aletono having A Moment. (antonio chandrani-rivera on the left and alejandro [caldera-]altaha on the right.)
the fancy frame is only because bsky dislikes smaller images, but since it looked pretty curious, i decided to drop it here too. since it's pride month, i might dedicate a bit of time to drawing more romo sketches (especially because i've been wanting to, since blue horizon is pretty romantasy-vibin'), so here's to the start of that. hopefully i'll be able to. drawn 06/01 to 06/02/2025. (will try to start dating these better, maybe.)
A quick sketch of Raj Rivera, the fraternal twin amid the Chandrani-Rivera twins. Decided to mess with gradients and brushes and such.
catboy and snek boyfriend doodle (compulsion). it's antonio chandrani-rivera and alejandro [caldera-]altaha.
twin souls, twin stars. alejandro and adrián caldera-altaha.
alejandro's twin adrián caldera won't be a Particularly major character, but he is important to blue horizon's overall story.
alejandro is blushing heavily with a surprised smile as antonio seems to sweet-talk him, or something similar. alejandro has a shy stance and antonio is leaning in with his arms held loosely behind his back, with a foot popping up. alejandro has long dark hair while antonio has falling rougish hair that is implied blue but, due to the purple and pink color tones of the comic, is more periwinkle purple. antonio is wearing a sherwani-like suit and alejandro is wearing an apache-style tunic, as they are both mixed.The above sketch is from the side comic "Alejandro Altaha Hates Soul Bonds," which has been updating since April 21, 2025 on here and on Comicfury, with the first comics 1 to 6.5 uploaded altogether on the main Blue Horizon: Bright Days, Sad Days comic site here.
The above sketch is from early April 2025, created for Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's Secret Blog: Trio, Antonio, 2005 and the Neko. It's an alteration of the cover art for it, and the Alejandro stays my favorite hahaha. The roses are actually by 크초 on here on Clip Studio Assets.
The above sketch is from early April 2025, created for Antonio Chandrani-Rivera's Secret Blog: Trio, Antonio, 2005 and the Neko. It features 3 different Antonios, with the implication that the first two are the same Antonio from 100,000 years past (our era on Earth, approximately 2010's to 2020's). The last Antonio with red eyes is our typical Antonio Chandrani-Rivera on planet Imion 100,000 years in the future.
Below are a majority of the meme arts I've slowly added to the bottom of the About section since '23. One is above.
clip art type of material with my own art of fernando and chibi diego where chibi diego is trying to give fernando chocolate and fernando has an aqua question mark by his face. the chocolate is a stock-photo of four dark brown chocolate squares on silver foil. fernando description: Fernando Chandrani with dark hair that falls in front of him as a long braid, gold eyes, brown skin and a cheerful smile. He wears a white shirt with buttons undone. Behind him is green foliage with various large leaves. diego description: Diego is drawn as a chibi with black hair pulled back, round excited fuchsia eyes with white centering, little pink round chibi blushes, and a cute chibi :D smile. He wears an implied violet jacket and black pants.
A very curious-looking chibi-ish Antonio with black cat ears and brown skin and glowing fuchsia eyes is looking at the Alejandro ahead of him who has his fists thrown up and with a intense blush for some reason while screaming.
A comic panel where the young man with red eyes, blue hair like waves and blue panjabi Antonio Chandrani-Rivera is looking cockily with a grin at red-eyed violet-and-pink-haired Alejandro Altaha, who's looking down and blushing with a sweatdrop and exclamation mark. The main difference is Antonio has a bubble with lgbt flag and question mark.
