IntroductionHi.
I'm Cress. I'm a digital artist, gamer, and enjoyer of content.
I'm aspiring to work in the games and films industry in concept art, and I tend to enjoy/create stuff with a very bold, loud, energetic feel. I am also interested, alongside concept art, in 3D modelling, illustration, and possibly animation.
I'm quite friendly, but I'm a little hesitant with new people sometimes, so forgive me if I'm sour or blunt on occasion with people I'm not acquainted with. I generally attempt to come across as kind, though.
I can't neglect to mention, though, that I do have a bit of a short fuse and a jealousy problem because of both my mental disorders and past traumas, so I hope you can forgive those
?
Hey I don't really know where to put this or how to explain this, but since this is my private carrd you should also know that I have this weird thing where, sometimes when I get REALLY attached to a character, if I see myself in them a lot and relate to them a lot, sometimes I genuinely start to believe that, to an extent, I am them? Or that I am the only person most alike to them? And I get really anxious and uncomfortable and irritated and jealous and protective when other people claim to be more like that character or something, which I know is probably dumb and childish but that's just how I am yo. Sometimes when I see those characters too I legitimately just think "ayo that me" I'm honestly not entirely sure what the reasoning behind this feeling is but yeah I can't really control it so let's gooo.Update
Okay so I still don't know what this is about but I've realised that these are probably delusions of some kind, and I've been struggling with them internally and, to an extent, externally for a while now. I don't think I'm anything like having DID or psychosis or anything like that, but yeah I don't know what it is. Either way, I would really appreciate it if you would respect these delusions and accept them as it greatly pains me (underexaggeration but you get it) when people don't. If you can, try to use whatever my preferred name and pronouns are at the time, and treat me just as if I am whatever character I am deluded as in the moment, not as if I'm acting like them or thinking I am them, but as if I literally was them in every way, that would make me feel a lot better thnks
Since, yknow. Reality checking can be more harmful than good for the most part lol
MY ART AND SOCIALSMe and my art can be found mostly on Instagram, but for my professional online portfolio, I am on Artstation.
I'm also on Discord, but I only really keep in contact with people I know on there.

Triggers, Boundaries and DNI
Triggers
One of my triggers is static.
I don't have many triggers and can deal with most things, but no in-depth discussion of gore please -- and, obviously, no REAL images of injuries, gore, etc.
Boundaries
- Most of the time I am not comfortable in being addressed in a stereotypically feminine manner.
- Do NOT try and hold things over my head, act like I am lesser, or tease me (in a negative or demeaning way) about things, even if you mean no harm by it. It just makes me feel sour.
- Don't provoke my jealousy by implying I am not a part of something I feel I should/want to be.
- I am not super comfortable with the "sidekick character dies or is unsaveable" trope, sorry, it just puts a weird mental pressure on me that triggers my anxiety, especially when pushed onto me or my characters, so just avoid that pls
- I am not comfortable with being discussed in a way that is unflattering, embarassing or unpleasant - even in light jokes, it makes me very uncomfortable and self-concious as I hold my image in high regards. (This doesn't mean you can't critisize me, though!)
- Don't ask or pry about too many personal matters unless prompted (venting etc)
- Do not vaguepost in my vicinity. At all.
- Avoid interacting as much as possible if you're an identity double, or if it's difficult to avoid, then avoid talking about being the same as me.
DNI
Do not interact if:
- Please do not interact if you are actively against alterhumans/non-human identities. I have a lot of trauma surrounding rejection of these things so please be sensitive to it.
- You are sexist homophobic, transphobic, racist, ableist, use slurs, are against neos
- You are excessively negative or share negative content, I.E. posting controversies or starting drama
- Unironically go "uwu I'm just a soft babey bean please protec me"
- Are a guilt tripper
- Baby/infantize people
- Advocate for violence, harassment, or death threats
- You don't use tws
