Welcome to my About Page!

This is where you will find everything you need to know about me.

Hello interweb traveller! My name is Leslie, but you can call me nicknames like Lez or Lennie, or even my middle name, Noel, if you'd like. My pronouns are she/her, and I've been alive on this spinning space rock for 18 years. I landed here January 14th of 2005, and I'm from New York!

I'm autistic, so I'm not the best at responding to messages or interpreting tone. I can be very forgetful, so don't hesitate to send me a reminder for anything important! I don't bite However, random DMs asking to be friends, invasive personal questions, or anything of the sorts from strangers make me very uncomfortable, so please don't do that. I won't respond.

I'm an artist! I mostly draw whatever I like, but since 2019 or 2020 (can't remember, sorry) I've been working on a story project focused on retro sci-fi and paranormal things, with cool animals for characters. I hope to make it a webcomic with a physical comic book counterpart some day, and eventually even an animated webseries! Check it out! (But be warned, it does involve some sensitive things such as blood and gore, horror, eyestrain, etc.)

I also play guitar and sing! Currently, I don't have anything music-related that I've done online, but I hope to also pursue music-making some day!

Here are my special interests:

LEMON DEMON/OTHER THINGS BY NEIL CICIEREGA

ANIMALS AND TAXONOMY (ESPECIALLY OF THE MUSTELIDAE FAMILY. OTHER FAVORITES INCLUDE SKUNKS, MONGOOSES, AND BATS!)

ART AND MUSIC

OUTER SPACE

MY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS!

Hobbies and other Fun Facts

I LOVE TO DRAW (DUH)

I LOVE LISTENING TO MUSIC AND HOPE TO CREATE SOME SOON! I'M LEARNING TO PLAY GUITAR AND SING!

I SPEND TOO MUCH TIME SCROLLING THROUGH RANDOM WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES AND THE DEPTHS OF THE INTERNET

I HAVE A DOG NAMED REESE. HE'S A STANDARD COLLIE AND FOXHOUND MIX, AND MY BEST FRIEND! I ALSO WANT TO GET A CAT AND FERRETS IN THE FUTURE.

I DON'T KNOW DID YOU EXPECT ME TO BE INTERESTING OR SOMETHING

WHAT'S CRYPTIDCASSETTE?

That's just my online nickname of sorts, used to "brand" all my projects together. I just made it up because I like paranormal things like cryptids, and vintage things like cassettes. Not the most creative, but hey, it works!

WANNA MAKE FANART OF MY OCS?

Thank you so much, I absolutely adore any and all fanart! Send anything you make of my characters my way, I'd love to see it! But, before you do anything, here's a couple things to note:

All of my characters, with very few exceptions, are plantigrade (humanoid-bodied) anthropomorphic animals. Please draw them with plantigrade legs, and hands and feet instead of paws (but they do have paw pads depending on species!). Please don't draw them feral (on all fours) or digitigrade (animal-like legs), or without their hair and clothes.

Please don't draw my characters in any situation that promotes or glorifies hate or bigotry (racism, homo/transphobia, sexism, etc.) Additionally, do not draw them in any situation that promotes or glorifies anything illegal such as hard drug usage, pedophilia, zoophilia, incest, etc. This should go without saying.

You can absolutely draw blood and gore for horror/sci-fi themed art as long as it fits the character. I'd love that! But please do not draw them in any sexual or fetish situations.

I upload all artwork I receive to my character's respective Toyhouse galleries with full credit, unless you don't want me to. If you'd like me to not upload your artwork there or anywhere else, please let me know!
