What's up?

I'm Salem, and this is my main / personal website :3

I'm an artist and linguist with way too many hobbies.

This site hosts my portfolio and a variety of other things. For my UTAU projects, see my other website.

About Me

Late-20's gay man from Texas. I do a lot of stuff and I like a lot of things.

Online I go by my fursona's name, Salem. My real-life name isn't a secret, but don't call me that if I don't know you, thanks!

My pronouns are he/him mostly and it/its if you're feelin' silly. Think of it like how you would talk about an animal.


IS/NTJ

I'm autistic so communication can be difficult, but I try my best.


I'm working on my linguistics M.A., with my main areas of interest being phonetics & phonology, sociolinguistics and conversation analysis.

I mostly do digital art, but I also dabble in music, web design, poetry, game dev, 3D modeling, and so on. I studied animation in high school.

I work in Clip Studio Paint with an XP Pen tablet for my drawings and Aseprite with a mouse for my pixel art. My original music is made in LMMS.


大学で三年間日本語を勉強しました。N3までわかります。僕と話してもいいですよ!

J'ai étudié le français au lycée et au début à l'université. Je ne parle pas bien, mais je peux comprendre d'accord.

Ich auch habe etwas Deutsch gelernt.

Fursonas

Salem the Bakeneko / Salem Wasteland

Salem is my primary fursona and one of my Vtuber models.

This cat monster may look edgy, but he's not actually very dangerous. He prefers to chill out and have fun. Watch your neck around him, though...

While once an ordinary domestic cat, many years ago Salem gained a taste for human blood and transformed into a two-tailed cat monster. He grew much larger and can now walk and talk like any human.

He can use pyromancy and has some psychic abilities. He drinks blood and lamp oil to sustain his abilities. The wings aren't real, just an illusion he created because it looks cool.


Topaz the Dragon / Topaz Celestine

Topaz is my secondary fursona and one of my Vtuber models.

Topaz is an ancient dragon who recently woke up from a long hibernation in his icy mountain cave. He hoards gems, crystals, and things he finds cute (mostly plushies).

Reclusive and somewhat intimidating, but playful with those who get to know him.

His frost breath can be deadly cold, but he prefers toying with his prey rather than outright killing it.

He wears little to no clothing for temperature regulation. And also because it's sexy.


Other

Not exactly a fursona, but I'm also technically a therian. I hesitate to use the label strongly because I'm not really involved in that community, but its not inaccurate. My theriotype is snow leopard.

I also like to make fandom sonas but I don't consider them as integral to my identity.
