HELLO WORLD! 👋🏻 🎨
I've been on a big journey of self discovery and reinvention -which includes my art style-, so I figured it would be a great opportunity to do one of these #meettheartist to reintroduce myself! So take a look, swipe around and feel free to ask any questions!

Hi hi #PortfolioDay! 🎨✨

I'm Requinoesis, someone who loves the ocean! I'm dedicated to creating a new insight into the imagery of sharks under pastel colors! 🌊🦈✨

You can see more of my art stuff here, if you want: linktr.ee/requinoesis

Roberto, the great hammerhead shark, explores the ruins of an ancient museum destroyed by Typhon's storm. He holds a flashlight and carries a mysterious human spirit in his backpack, who accompanies him in silence.

The place, shrouded by the phenomenon called “cursed salt mist”, is covered in a permanent fog. Salt crystals sprout everywhere and a supernatural presence seem to lurk among the rubble.

The spirit that accompanies Roberto is liquid and translucent. Sometimes little tropical fish of extinct species float around him, as if attracted by his presence.

The museum's architecture is full of organic curves and ornate tiles. Decorated columns show a crab with a human face holding the moon between its pincers, an ancient symbol of a historical figure revered by the sharkfolk.

A cozy little shark bistro nestled among lots of plants.

A little harbor village of Gourdlets among a cozy grove of trees, carrying out various cooperative activities related to fishing and recreation, there are little colorful fish and a shark swimming peacefully in the sea.

An allegory of the "Jaws" movie poster that caused damage and negative stereotypes to the image of sharks that persist to this day (I'm glad it's slowly changing, but it's still too slow to be considered forgivable). Now with a reversal of roles, with the human victim replaced by a simple wild shark and the terrible stereotyped shark replaced by a monstrous human skull seeming to want to devour the shark (this is the reality, we kill thousands of sharks every year, many of them killed for irrational reasons, who is the real cruel killer?)

It couldn't possibly take more than three illustrations of #PillarsofPharloom before I drew her, everyone's favorite NPC and everyone's favorite vocal stim of the month, the one and only Sherma. Team Cherry outdid themselves with this motley crew of quirky bugs.

It was a fun project to tackle! Trying to match most of the OG boxart and overall Wingspan vibe (w the exception of the back illustration) and figuring out how to print it in a way to make it work

Hugo's Nook @itshugosnook.bsky.social · Aug 31

One of the most gratifying projects I've ever been commissioned to do. Fun, creative and touching. And to know I played a small part in such a special moment... It's for things like this that I became an artist.

Charles Harte @chuckduck365.bsky.social · Aug 30

I proposed to Alyssa today and she said yes! Shout out to @itshugosnook.bsky.social for designing this fantastic Wingspan parody! It’s her favorite board game, and I MAY have lied and told her I was expecting a review copy for a new expansion in the mail. She doesn’t seem too mad about it.

Charles and Alyssa pose for a selfie. Alyssa puts her hand with the ring on Charles’ chest.

A close up of Alyssa’s ring. It’s a pear-shaped diamond with peridot, alexandrite, and aquamarine as flourishes on the sides.

A parody of the board game “Wingspan,” called “Ringspan.” The cover of the box has a dove and raven sharing a wedding ring in their beaks.

The back of the Ringspan box. A humorous list of fake components is on the left, while the right side has art of Charles proposing to Alyssa while their three pets watch.

My girlfriend saw me painting and glueing this box together and was like "👀 ah I see what you're capable of for a proposal now" 😂

Thanks! Someone on reddit pointed me to the physical version in the launch trailer and that was super helpful!!
What is the little cover next to the controller ports for? Storing the controllers? Games? Whatever our hearts desire?

Hugo's Nook @itshugosnook.bsky.social · Aug 23

Just make it exist first.
I saw this trend going around - especially in the pixelart circles - but i figured I'd bring it over cuz it applies to almost every artistic field. Heck to almost anything really. Make it exist, make it happen. And THEN polish, work-it, improve it.

Thanks! I'm planning on doing a lil diorama like these for each of the games. My idea is to use the LX with a game inserted, slightly poking out, as a base for each diorama - hence the questions in the post 😅

Hugo's Nook @itshugosnook.bsky.social · Aug 22

I've got two very important UFO 50 questions to @mossmouth.bsky.social , @strotchy.bsky.social or @perryjon.bsky.social :
Are the LX's games cartridges or floppy disks?
And are they inserted in that little slit in the middle section or in the "cover" to the left of the controller ports???

We have silksong news (of upcoming silksong news). We can finally burn our clown costumes and rejoice. It exists. First we Silk, then we Song.

With DK being up a construction site, it was only natural to throw a lil Wrecking Crew Easter egg right there 😜

And there's some freebies to be picked up (or an awesome print) here:

🏗️🦍👔🍌🐊🛢️Dig into this big celebration of Donkey Kong's 40+ years of gaming history, condensed into this illustration at the heart of New Donk City!
Leading up to Bananza, I knew I had to do some DK art to contain all of my hype.

Memes aside I had lil hope that it would show up today. But with it being playable at Gamescon later this month, I think it will show up *somewhere* between now and then, with a release date attached. My guess is Gamescon Opening Night Live
