Early life and education
Stoyanov's personal biography gives his date and place of birth as 15 March 1996 in Karnobat, Bulgaria.[2] He completed his secondary education at Hristo Botev Secondary School in Karnobat, with a focus on information technology.[citation needed]
His LinkedIn profile lists SoftUni Creative under education and a locomotive course covering series 46 under professional courses.[1] His additional training includes graphic and digital design and locomotive-driver courses at Todor Kableshkov University of Transport in Sofia, covering series 43, 44, 46, 80, and 81.[citation needed]
Industrial career
CNC operation and programming
Stoyanov's personal biography records work as a CNC operator and programmer before his railway employment. It describes experience with CNC hydraulic machinery, CAD, and G-code programming.[2] His professional profile also lists CNC machinery and Siemens-based industrial systems among his technical background.[1]
Railway operations
His personal biography records employment as a train operator at BDZ Cargo.[2] His LinkedIn profile lists subsequent employment at Mini Maritsa Iztok EAD and describes experience with electric locomotives.[1]
Digital projects
Stoyanov develops and maintains independent digital projects alongside his railway work. His LinkedIn profile lists BG-GAMER and Kreatrics among his projects and describes a WordPress-based BG-GAMER website with Discord integration.[1]
NecrotixLab
NecrotixLab is Stoyanov's personal portfolio and digital project platform. His professional profile links to necrotixlab.com as his portfolio.[1] In his public posts on Threads, he describes NecrotixLab as a platform combining publishing, products, tools, services, and experiments within a single content management system.[3]
Kreatrics
Kreatrics, also referred to as Kreatrics Technology, is an independent technology and digital projects initiative associated with Stoyanov. His personal project documentation describes its focus as web development and online communities.[4] Its website is kreatrics.com.
BG-GAMER
Stoyanov is the founder of BG-GAMER, as listed in his professional profile.[1] Its website publishes gaming and technology content, videos, quizzes, and polls, and links to a Discord community.[5]
The idea for BG-GAMER originated in 2012, according to Stoyanov. His LinkedIn profile lists the project from December 2012.[1] According to Stoyanov, the project initially operated under a different domain using free web hosting, before adopting bg-gamer.com in 2018.[citation needed]
His BG-GAMER contributor profile uses the pseudonym nikolast and displays the name Nikola Stoyanov.[6]
Quiz Cat Online
Quiz Cat Online is a children's educational game being developed by Stoyanov. The project combines mini-games and quizzes and is currently in development. Its website is quiz-cat.online.[citation needed]
Creative work
Digital illustration and character design
Stoyanov's visual portfolio includes digital illustrations, stylized portraits, and character-design studies. Some works present a character through several visual treatments, including pixel-art and vector-style versions, colour palettes, and a more developed illustration. His character work includes cartoon-like figures and imaginary creatures.[citation needed]
Other pieces use fantastical imagery, including an eye-and-tentacle motif presented on a T-shirt mockup. This part of his portfolio explores how illustrations can be applied to clothing and other visual formats.[citation needed]
Photography and photographic imagery
His photographic portfolio includes architecture, landscapes, outdoor and street scenes, animal photographs, portraits, and studies of the human figure. Architectural images include night-time views of illuminated buildings, where contrasting warm and cool colours define the structure against a cloudy sky. Outdoor photographs include wooded roads in mist, using the road and roadside barriers as leading lines and the fading visibility to create depth. These subjects appear alongside close-up animal images and figure studies in both colour and monochrome.[citation needed]
His studies of the female figure include nude photography, close-cropped compositions, and portraits that retain the surrounding interior. Some monochrome images use low-key lighting and deep shadow to outline the figure, leaving much of the frame in darkness. Colour photographs show seated or reclining figures in domestic settings, with pose, fabric, and background colour contributing to the composition. Closer views focus on bodily contours, natural skin texture, and the interplay of soft light and fabric. Across these photographs, framing and lighting vary from detailed studies of form to wider compositions showing the relationship between the subject and the setting.[citation needed]
Across the visual portfolio, colourful and playful illustration appears alongside darker, more restrained imagery. These differences reflect the range of work presented rather than a single visual style.
Poetry and creative writing
His personal website identifies До моята Луна (To My Moon) and Гарванова История (Raven Story) as recurring literary projects associated with his creative work.[2]
His portfolio includes creative writing in Bulgarian and English, with poetry and short prose presented alongside visual work. Displayed texts include Whispers, Darkness #2, and My Life, My Mistakes. Their visible excerpts use first-person language and introspective imagery. The excerpt from Darkness #2 introduces a speaker who feels unknown to others, while My Life, My Mistakes begins with reflection on how other people perceive personal mistakes.[citation needed]
He also shares literary work through social media. A Facebook video post titled Niko - My Soul presents an English-language poem whose opening uses images of dark crypts, a dying fire, cold winds, and a wandering figure.[7] The opening combines an inward-looking speaker with atmospheric, gothic imagery. Together with his presentation of To My Moon as dark poetry, this provides examples of the darker literary approach within his creative work.[8]
His literary work on NecrotixLab includes Мракът в мен (The Darkness in Me). The opening of that poem presents a solitary speaker at night and contrasts darkness and despair with a search for something better.[9]
Poetic material displayed on his Threads profile includes Последно сбогом (A Final Goodbye), whose visible lines use repeated farewell phrases and contrasts between darkness and unreachable light.[3] These examples use loneliness, darkness, and self-reflection as literary subjects.
To My Moon
До моята Луна (To My Moon) is a dark-poetry digital project by Nicholas (Necrotix) Stoyanov. In a public Instagram post dated 2 February 2025, he shared excerpts and described the work as a digital project at that time.[8]
The English-language piece Whispers is presented in an online author post as part of the To My Moon book project.[10]
Raven Story
Гарванова История (Raven Story) is another literary project by Nicholas (Necrotix) Stoyanov. His personal biography lists it alongside To My Moon within his literary output.[2] It forms part of the body of creative writing he presents under his online artistic identity.
Literary excerpts
Other published online fragments combine direct address with imagery of destruction, memory, and shadow. A Bulgarian fragment includes the line:
ще те отведа там, където ръбът на разрушението става моят трон
The fragment uses an ominous speaking voice and presents destruction through the metaphor of a throne.[citation needed]
An English prose fragment describes memories as:
like shadows that stretch and change with the light
The surrounding passage reflects on the persistence of memories. Together, these excerpts show both a dramatic poetic voice and a quieter, reflective approach to prose.[citation needed]
