In honor of the traction Nautical Nightmares has been receiving I decided to make this piece of the illustrious Nanno herself taking center stage!
Bonus version under the cut! But thank y’all for your continued support! 💖
Elise and Nanno grew up in the Roaring Twenties where women were expected to be so mature so fast, but at the end of the day they’re still 18 year old girls! So here’s a more modern depiction!
HAPPY PRIDE Y'ALL
I am floating on cloud nine right nowwwww
It's a great month to be Black, Queer, and Caribbean!! Y'all can't tell me shit!! I look forward to posting even more of all my beautiful Afro-Caribbean queer characters so stay tuned!!
I want to take this time to again talk about Nautical Nightmares! For those who don't know me yet, I'm a Black queer creative that made a psychological horror visual novel game called Nautical Nightmares Requiem! It's a murder mystery with a unique premise, and the prologue is out and free on itch.io right now so check it out!
Since it's Pride, I wanted to highlight the fact that my game actually features queer characters...in fact...all the characters in my game are queer! All except one! We got lesbians, we got genderqueers, we got transfems and transmascs!!! AND....
We got Asexual/Aromantic representation.
Of course, like I said, only the prologue out so far, but KNOW that when you play, these characters are in fact gay! And boy does that matter!
Anywayssss...happy pride and I hope y'all are having a great time so far! Be on the lookout for some pride art, and let's have a good month y'all!!
It’s Juneteenth now bitches!!!

“Tonight you are NANNO MAKOK…and you have a dinner party to attend…”
With all the splashes being made in the indie sphere, I wanted to take the time to self promo once again because I too am an indie creator of color!
Nautical Nightmares Requiem is the game I’ve made, available on itch.io and free to download! (Though donations are appreciated💖). The first chapter prologue is available for any to play, though a maturity warning is advised!
As a black creative, I want to be apart of the creation of more of the content that I want to see in the world. I want POC characters that are fleshed out! I want nuanced conversations about mental health, intersectionality, and system oppression! I want Yuri!!
So if all of these things interest then I invite you to check it out! Thanks!
I played Nautical Nightmares n I relly liked Nannos design. Do u have any cute/cool photos of her?
These are the photos I’m proud of the most! I spent a lot of time drawing her a certain way to really establish she’s someone stuck in the spotlight, stuck in the moment!
What made you create Nautical Nightmares? What was your inspiration for it? It looks really good and I can't wait to play it :]
Well a large bulk of my inspiration is that I wanted to see POC represented in different art styles across history, to show that we were always here and will always continue to be here. I wanted to make a game that I'd enjoy playing, with all the aesthetics and guilty pleasures that I'd have fun drawing and writing about.
I used to roleplay a lot when I was in middle school and high school (still do but I stick to my close friends haha) and I hopped through a lot of different fandoms. If I told you where this idea started it may shock you, but let's just say it went through A LOT of changes. It took a lot of work to unpack the ways roleplaying through Discord had stunted me. I was a black queer in fandom then, and I'm still a black queer in fandom now.
I took inspiration from a lot of sources initially: Danganronpa, Persona, Undertale, just to name a few. But when I realized I actually DIDNT have to play by the rules of those predecessors with what I could talk about and how I could represent my characters....oh it was over.
