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!

Been doing some daily Silksong illustrations, same way I did for hollow knight back in the day. Bout an hour long each, every morning

Hugo's Nook @itshugosnook.bsky.social · 21d

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" 😂

This is what the final piece looked like btw!

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.

Last two weeks of Sketch suggestions (that I invariably take way beyond a sketch) from my warm-up Wednesday streams! Join tonight or drop a suggestion in the comments below. After the sketch we'll be doing a Pokemon TCG card.

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

Hugo's Nook @itshugosnook.bsky.social · Aug 11

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
