Loracle (@loracle)

hello. hello! i'm an artist who lurks on the internet instead of actually posting stuff (and i'm trying hard to get over subverting that as of late). nights is a series i did not expect to worm its way into my heart, but it hits almost everything i adore. i hope to make a piece that celebrates the charm of its characters—an encore on the stage, perhaps?

For this zine, I'm making what's arguably my most ambitious piece yet! yeah the NiGHTS brainrot hit me like crack

After so many years, the NiGHTS games continue to stake their claim in my heart. I hope my art can convey the feeling of excitement that comes from seeing an old friend.

Rosegold Archon (@rosegoldarchon)

Alongside my lifelong love for NiGHTS into Dreams, I'm lucky enough to be able to put forth my experience in merch production and manufacturer communication to bring to life the insanely creative concepts that this project's merch team has come up with. In addition to that, I'll be providing a full illustration of my own as a contributor, as well as the design of the zine's mascot sticker!  My piece will be heavy in dreamy Art Nouveau composition and shape language, as NiGHTS' wiggly dragon form lends itself well to the style's quintessential whiplash curve, and who better to deliver the 'Message to Nightopia' zine but a sweet little mail carrier 'pian? :} 

Nimue (@ribbunskull | Bsky | Instagram | Twitter)

Hi!! I'm Nimue, a character designer and illustrator! :] I've been obsessed with NiGHTS ever since I saw them on Sonic Adventure when I was a kid!I tried my best in mirroring that mysterious, dreamy aura that first drew me in!

Mars (@drilldashed | Bluesky)

I've been a fan of NiGHTS since around 2017-2018, and painting was just always my favorite thing to do digitally, and to me it felt like they went hand in hand. My plans for the zine are mainly focusing on most of the NiD nightmaren.

I want to contribute a NiD piece that encompasses all the main aspects of the game, because that's where it all began. I'm always honoured to be able to contribute to NiGHTS zines and work with so many talented artists to express love and appreciation for such an amazing franchise ❤️

HELLOOOOO I’m Gutzz! I’m a freelancer and horror enjoyer based in AUS. My first exposure to NiGHTS was from Sonic Riders before I knew who they even were. They sparked my love for the jester genre and look to the point that I dress up like one every 2 weeks.

Lumenquil: (Bsky)

Hi, I'm Lumen, and I'm a magical author! No joke, I had a dream about NiGHTS telling me to "tell all our stories, unraveling across time" after applying for this zine. I have no idea what that means, so I wrote about Owl having a bad time.
