I'm a self-taught artist from the Arctic. My artist name FelisGlacialis means 'Ice cat' and my affinity with the cold Northern taiga, mountains and tundra as well as Ice is visible all throughout my art. It's the Dark Wild world where I belong.
I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil. A cat was the first animal I've drawn, my mother told me. Ever since, I've drawn animals, mostly felines and canines but I've also been exploring many other species as part of my identity. My own big feline species, the Siderians and their precursors, have lived with me since I was 11-12 years old, that was back in 1999-2000. They started off as a feline-looking spiky lightning wolf pokémon and gradually became the current Oriental-cat/tiger/lynx like species that they are since 2011.
My many Siderian characters have been of great support though joy and sorrow, life and death. They are my breath of life and I dream away with them, day and night. To get to know me, you will have to know them. Some, like Falkner, have been with me for almost 20 years. Others like Noiro, Shine, Stian and Håkan have changed my life forever. My ultimate dream is to see Siderians alive, be it through a realistic 3D animation, art or through written stories. Hopefully I will finish my novel one day.
I draw both digitally but sometimes traditionally. I also play music (keyboard and my old home-organ) to express myself through playing the music pieces that touch me the deepest. Craft-work and costume making has always attracted me too: I've made sculptures, plushies and a fursuit. I'm now taking steps to take fursuit making to a professional level. However, I will first have to finish my current personal suit to gain more experience.
People who know me personally find me cheerful, funny, curious and positive minded. However, I'm deeply concerned and hurt about the damage that humanity does to other species and the environment and this translates into painful bitterness at times. Maybe that is why some people find me edgy. I'm also into spiritual Satanism (which is not 'evil' reverse christianity and it's NOT related to JoS - it's more like shamanism/paganism) but I worship no-one.

For your information:
I'm NOT Villiedoom and the big cats you see on my page are MY SIDERIANS. Whatever platform I'm on, I will always use the name FelisGlacialis or something very similar.
I know very well who Villiedoom is - we share quite some history.
We were online friends once, back between 2016-2019. We were inspired by each other but in my perception,their art style was quite different back then and so were their creatures. But soon after we became friends, I felt that their style and creatures began to resemble my Siderians and eventually particular characters. All quite beyond just the correlation with Oriental cats. I was uncomfortable with that growing level of similarity and that caused tension between us. Despite attempts to work it out, the tension eventually escalated and it broke the friendship. Nowadays we just leave each other alone.
Villiedoom has many accounts (including ghost accounts) on many platforms and people still seem to see huge similarities, to the point that I get questions from people wondering if I'm the same person or not. That tells me that Villiedoom's style and creatures still look a lot like mine, without him admitting it nor ever mentioning me as one of his inspiration sources and I still feel uncomfortable with this.
I'm not the only artist who has had such similarity-issues with Vill. Don't hesitate to message me if you've any questions. To Vill: I don't want you to give up your art and creatures and I'm up for a mature talk to reduce tension/clarify things and find a way for both of us to be ok with. I respect your choice not to talk.
Music that represents me
The music of my soul
That includes the clip by Omnia
The order also tells a personal story.
Heritage of the Wolf - by James Horner - goes with this scene
Particularly the part between 1.13- 3.10
This is the most impactful scene of my childhood that set me on the right track to find my inner-self even though it's not a wolf but a feline.
The theme song of my Siderian spirit Stian who opened all the floodgates towards finding my true self. This piece also has a lot of my energy.
Kuolleiden maa - by Moonsorrow
The title means 'the land of the dead' and it refers to a lot of my past.
To me, the song is not only about death, but also about extinction.
Adagio for Strings- by Samuel Barber
See here my version. This sorrowful piece speaks for itself.
The Lion King orchestral suite - by Hans Zimmer
The sound of Felinity
Ruttolehto incl. päivättömän päivän kansa - by Moonsorrow
My all time favourite metal song - particularly the part between 6.30-9.30 has huge personal significance; it's like the sound of my wild soul.
Here is is my own improvised cover of Ruttolehto
Force of Will - by Succession studios
Very much my energy.
Interstellar: No time for caution - by Hans Zimmer.
Dark Energy from the Word Beyond
The Rains of Castamere - Ramin Djawadi, Serj Tankian.
I'm the metaphoric cat in the coat of gold.

Hope you had a good birthday 
Are you by chance Villiedoom on bluesky? Their art and characters are very similar!
No I'm not - and I placed a bit of an explanation on my main page, under my DeviantID, because I get this question quite a lot and it bothers me.
Was going to ask the same thing! I saw them on tumblr and thought they were Siderians until I saw the name of their creatures were different.

May I ask - did you know the Siderians first before you found Villiedoom on Tumblr?
Apologies for the late reply, and not reading the info in your ID thoroughly. Yes, I did! I’ve followed you for at least 7-8 years or more now, and have known your Siderians for quite a long time. It seems they’ve been on Tumbler for a few years, but I just recently saw their art.
