A small gallery for the stories I write.

Hello, I’m Moni.

This blog is where I share art inspired by the stories I write. You will see drawings of characters, sketches, and doodles that linger in my mind long after the words I’ve written.

My writing lives on AO3 under the names MoniKarla and Interlude.

Writing is my passion, but drawing is becoming my new favorite form of expression. This blog is where I will embark on my slow but steady digital art journey. Thank you for stepping into these worlds with me. <333

Hello! Welcome to my fanart version of Martyn and Scott from my fanfic Last To Fall. This modern AU revolves around the Life Series friends, with LTF focusing on Martyn and Scott’s growing romance.

This is the second art piece I’ve created, and even though I’m still learning digital art in my spare time, I’ve truly been enjoying bringing them to life through my own vision.

My In This Life series spanned three years, reaching over a million words, and was the first set of fanfics I ever dared to write and share as the ideas came to me. While each story began as a simple concept, they eventually took on a life of their own, their world unfolding in ways I never could have fully planned.

It’s a bittersweet feeling to have finally reached the end, but it’s something I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Spending so much time writing about these characters inspired me enough to want to see them outside of the page too. This drawing of Jimmy and Grian came from the desire to bring them to life through my own vision. My style.

I’m still early in my digital art journey, but it’s been really rewarding discovering another way to explore the stories and characters I care about.

These versions of them come from my Rockstar AU series, “Dancing With A Rockstar”.

It all begins with one fateful night at a concert by The Rejects. One invitation changes the lives of bright, optimistic Jimmy and the mysterious Grian, who slowly begins to open up as their worlds collide.
