decided to log in my tumblr after years of silence so hello im back!

quick reintroduction: im nona, 28, and i'm a fulltime graphic artist in advertising by day, and freelance illustrator + background artist by night based in manila. i've been working in the creative industry for about 5 years in various fields such as advertising, comics, games, and indie animation. my main interest is mostly tangled the series, but i enjoy many other animated shows/movies like adventure time, the owl house, arcane, kpop demon hunters, tadc, etc and at the moment I'm currently getting into the critical role animated shows (vm & tm9), but i just enjoy cartoons and sapphic ships in general, and has always been the subject matter of my art.

another really important thing you need to know: i really, REALLY like cassunzel. my IG & twitter is just full of fanart for them, so if you've never seen them yet, im just gonna repost a lot of my art from 2020 onwards so hold on to your butts

this blog will mainly be for art archiving purposes and not really for reblogging or interacting (ill still do, but not a priority), simply because i dont have the time & capacity to actually use tumblr the way i did years ago. i’ll try my best to use tumblr more but i’m still most active on my bluesky, IG, & discord. here are other places you can find me and my work (bold are most active):

twitter

instagram

bluesky

patreon (sfw & nsfw content)

ko-fi

inprnt (reopened!)

itch io (nsfw content only)

portfolio

discord: nonadraws#2599

likes/follows/replies will come from @nona-draws, my reblogging account bc my art blog is a sideblog. i use that one to reblog other posts to keep this place organized.

Tangled Ever After 💍🗡️

I turn 28 today and this month randomly happens to be Cassandra Appreciation Month (for a very cursed reason, which is bc of the whole TTS artbook situation, iykyk) and y'all deserve a treat from me to celebrate both things, so here's that! 🎂 Since I'm flying to Korea today for another vacation, I sacrificed so much sleep just to finish this in time before my flight lmao, never again.

Like many people lately I've been consumed by Tomodachi Life... I wanted to draw my Cassunzel miis' wedding so there are some changes to the hairstyles instead of following the canon hairstyle in the short. I put some of their most iconic flowers, which are the minnes and the sundrop flower for blue and yellow colors, and the rose as a boutonniere for Cass, from an S1 episode and even in Lost Lagoon. And ofc, I put my miis from the photoshoot as cake toppers 😂

Who else could love me

Quite as kindly as you

Screencap redraw from "The Sex Lives of College Girls" because 1) this scene looks so much like cassunzel, I had to draw it and 2) I like the thought of Ruby girlkisser Cruz playing live action Cass (especially knowing she played a lesbian knight in the Willow series) but the amount of ppl fancasting her as genderbent Eugene instead made me sad so I made this purely out of spite /hj I know the live action Tangled is gonna be ass anyway and there's no way they'll reference TTS at all but I just like to imagine stuff so that's that.

Also put in some references to Mitski's newest album with cat imagery on Rapunzel's sweater and Cass's pin on her collar. I love this album so much, maybe one of her best in a long time imo. Side note but I'm seeing her in concert for the first time later this year and I'm soooo excited 😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹 I discovered her since Marceline's cover of Francis Forever in Adventure Time nearly a decade ago.... I can't believe it's happening AHHHH ‼️‼️‼️

Reference under the cut:

A vintage magazine cover inspired by 80s fitness and aerobics with references to 3 TTS novels I reread again recently (Lost Lagoon, Vanishing Village, and Lost Legends: The Rise of Flynn Rider).

14. if you could give a TED talk on anything, what would you talk about?

tough question, public speaking frightens me lol but i like to imagine myself giving a talk about something art related, and im really passionate about background art, so i would probably talk about backgrounds and that it's not as hard to draw as people think. you just need to know how the 3 perspective points work and that there are many 3d tools to assist you like grabbing 3d models on csp assets and you can adjust the camera angle and perspective there, or look at 3d assets like sketchfab and take screenshots in any angle, and draw over it. its ok to trace over models! make it easy for urself! just as long as ur not tracing over another person's art and claiming it as ur own. thats my ted talk

19. write, type, or speak?

im not sure if writing means writing on paper or typing, so maybe both write & type? lately im getting into writing for my personal project. also ive been reading books again after a long time bc i want to know how ppl write to tell a story. its something i want to learn and get better at, and it's nice to have a hobby that isn't drawing related just to take a break every now and then

A little late here, but it's been 6 years since the finale of Tangled the Series (March 1, 2020). As much as I wanted to draw something new, I simply didn't have the time recently. But I will always remember that day and how much it changed me forever. So here's a collection of all the finale anniversary or finale-related art I made over the years ☀️🌙

Hi! For my day job I'm a fulltime graphic artist in advertising for a little over a year now but I'm also a freelance artist who does commissions occassionally and monthly rewards for Patreon, and sometimes I freelance background art, which is a big passion of mine!

Some time ago I freelanced as a background painter for animated projects, and I hope to get more opportunities like this haha but for now I'll be focused on comms and work on my own projects :) I hope to share more about it someday but for now it's a secret

as always, i have a list of all the socials medias i use pinned on my blog so you know where else to find me!
