Hello, I am NANA774 or simply Nana. "NANA" is a shortened portmanteau of the words "nameless" and "anonymous." My artwork is not fandom aligned, rather, I draw the things I like and am critical of fandom culture (and my engagement with it) in general. My original works are my main focus; I am a composer before a visual artist, and a writer as well. More information about my projects can be found in the original works tab. My commissions are always open.

A Concept Album
Series Intro
Escape: The Forgotten Frontier is an upcoming turn-based, exploration RPG about time travel and climate change, set in a modern fantastical version of Earth. It's a largely collaborative project, and I am looking for more friends to assist me with sprite work, cultural reference, character design, and interface design. Ask me for the Discord server link!
ENDLESS SUMMER

MALICE GARDEN
MALICE GARDEN
Malice Garden is a concept album that mainly is presented in the artcore genre. Each song has lore connected to it, which, at the time of the album's full release, will be in the SoundCloud descriptions of each track.
"Founded in 2237 after society was rebuilt on sustainable technology, The Garden was an independent scientific organization who sought to extend the human lifespan through synaptic transferring and plant DNA. While the experiments followed a strict code of equity ethics and the scientists vowed only to test on themselves and plants, an incident caused the project to (mostly) fail, and the Garden to disband."
The story's themes explore bodily autonomy, personhood, love, and grief in a science-fiction setting. Despite a generally optimistic ending, the story may be unsettling for some readers. The music itself covers little to none of the lore explicitly, and can be listened to by itself.
