Hey there! My name is Nath, or Nathaniel. I'm a bisexual trans man.
I'm a hobbyist artist who sometimes writes a little. My dream is to one day start making some visual novels with professional help. I'm just trying to kick my butt into gear and up my art game, my writing game, and really figure out where I want my stories to go!
I love video games, animation, and OCs - feel free to talk to me about any of the above! You can mostly find me on my Twitter.
