Yo, I'm Nyctaeus or Nyx for short. I make ships. Shiny ships. For shiny projects... And sometimes for standard ones too.

About Me

• I'm freelance graphic designer with professional artistic education, but I still produce very ugly things from time to time.
• I live somewhere in central Poland and I'm slavic by ethnicity.
• I like joking about my country much more, then I like Poland itself.
• I don't speak english, but I speak polgrish instead. Polgrish is my custom language consisted of english vocabulary with polish sentence syntax.
  • Of course I often misspell english words too.
• I love beer, but hate vodka. So I'm rather poor slav.
• I don't think that Skyrim is the best RPG in the world.
• I think UEF should conquer the GTVA.
• I hate winter.
• I love cats.
• I think Bryan See developed The Search for Bosch.
• I'm zen buddhist.
• I joke a lot but also I have a bad sense of humor.
• I'm lazy. Lots of released ships doesn't change a thing.
• I copy ideas for personal page from Droid803.
