pixiv nickname -> pixiv login / website

You said it backwards - nukoryu is his Pixiv login name and his website name, while ぜの猫 (ze no neko) is his Pixiv nickname.

Also, I think the correct romanization would actually be "xeno_neko" since his twitter account name is "xenoneko". And also because "ze" isn't a word. Where did you get "ze no neko" from?

Hm, it could be xeno_neko. When I was translating ぜの猫, it literally is ze no neko. I figured it could just be a play on words of Marisa's phrase, seeing as the artist is obviously familiar with Touhou.

The Japanese particle "ze" is a sentence-ending particle. It's impossible for it to appear at the beginning of a sentence. It's also unlikely for it to appear in a name, whether at the beginning or the end, because names are not usually sentences. Also, the "ze" particle isn't something unique to Touhou so whether the artist is or isn't familiar with Touhou isn't really relevant.
