My name is Nico (AKA Nickystar or Niconickystar in most places,) and I'm a professional illustrator and animator by trade! I specialize in character and creature design, and I adore cats of all kinds.

I was born in 1997, and Catz 3 was one of the first ever games I can remember playing. I've loved the games ever since, and was even aware of the modding community when I was a kid. Though I never took part in modding, myself, until in 2022 when I picked the games back up after a decade's absence.

I live with two cats; My grey and white tabby, Lughnasadh (Luna for short,) and her big brother, a tuxedo Scottish fold named Solntse (Sol.)
