Hello Tumbr! :D

I see a lotta people have a DNI or an introduction or something similar at the top of their page, so I figured I should probs have one too :3

I’m CrescentCaribou, but y’all can call me Cress! I’m a 23-year-old digital artist, just graduated and I wanna eventually get a job at some sorta animation studio! 

I’m a pan transmasc boi (xe/he/star) 

I joined Tumblr recently bc I’ve been meaning to get one for awhile and I kinda wanted to be a part of the community over here lol, y’all seem a bit more accepting than some of the others I’ve seen

DNI under the cut!

okay so please DNI if you’re any of the following: ~ any flavor of homophobic/transphobic/racist/ablest/etc. ~ truscum/transmed or against xenos/neos ~ against other “weird” queer labels (like “contradictory” mspec/bi/pan-lesbians/gays/straights, lesboys/turigirls/gaybians, polyamorous relationships, hyper-specific asexual/aromantic terms, neurogenders, queerplatonic folks, etc.) ~ fakeclaimers or against informed self-dx ~ KFF / “kinnies” or anti-alterhuman (copinglinks/otherlinks/etc. are fine) ~ p*dos/M*Ps ~ post/reblog nsfw age play content (I don’t judge, I just don’t wanna see) ~ post/reblog proshippy things (I don’t judge, I just don’t wanna see) ~ if you’re Really Super Serious about the pro/anti-fiction debate to the point that you harass folks over it (touch grass, I’m peacefic) ~ if you do crypto, NFTs, or anything connected to the blockchain ~ if you partake in any form of AI (yes even ChatGPT or CharAI), but esp that disgusting generative AI "art” ~ generally wanting to bring Bad Vibes over to my blog ~ or anything similar to the above! if you’re not sure, feel free to send an ask! 

thanks for reading~! <3

I’m pretty liberal with my blocklist, if any of the above applies to you you’re getting blocked. sorry bud you’re not part of my carefully maintained tumblrarium 

on the flip side, if any of it applies to you and you just wanna ask questions / have a discussion in a polite and non-confrontational manner, my asks and DMs are open ^^

overall I just don’t want drama, I’m here to have fun and post art

[crystallizedtwilight]

Insta was really interested in this, so I thought I'd post it here too! 🌻 Jumpscare of my eyes under the cut:

[dragon-in-a-fez]

when I was 11 my mother forced me to see a homeopath who told me the yellow around the centre of my eyes was a sign there was a buildup of fungus in my brain

I like this better

[elodieunderglass]

It’s an interesting Punnett-square breaker, for people who get overly hung up on high school biology, because whatever genetics cause it appear to be layered in their effects. In OP’s case and my own, it comes through despite us both having a brown-eyed parent. In my case, I’ve then gone on to produce three children with a blue-eyed person. The range of colours that came out, and the way my heterochromia ran around flipping switches behind the scenes, is fascinating to me. It’s hard to find much information about how heterochromia operates, and it isn’t scientifically useful to know, but it seems to have fun playing with things otherwise considered to be basically recessive/dominant.

And it shows, as so many things in life do, the way that high school biology is meant to start teaching you about life sciences, not to give you complete answers forever.

...peer review on this said i was a Fairy- guysss would yall crossover and/or AU fanfic me into a a fantasy genere? Pretty please?? @exitheinsane @kunixdani @krisunderrune @10beanie01 @azure-clockwork Get Got Fools Who I Like

[azure-clockwork]

I. Really don’t think so, big dawg. Like, my actual attractiveness aside, no lol

I feel bad tagging people: @esoteric-champagne and @swimmay ig

[esoteric-champagne]

gonna have to respectfully disagree with both (a) the skin color options on the picrew and (b) the uquiz result lol

don't have a ton of other mutuals so uh. soup can play if desired <3

[crescentcaribou]

I do in fact need a hug a lot of the time lmao, I have six mental disorders that I know of uwu

[awakefor48hours]

"You should create for yourself" and "it's okay to feel discouraged when creating your own original projects if no one interacts with them" are two sentences that should be able to co-exist with each other

[crescentcaribou]

Trying to get a VGen artist code!

[crescentcaribou]

hey! I'm making my comms PWYW temporarily so I can pay off a bill, so far I've gotten $55 so I just need $35 more!

I can do art or character designs :3c

[crescentcaribou]

trying to find info on a pretty bird, the original reddit post says it's a "purple coated conure" but I can find literally no information on them anywhere on the internet so I think reddit might be lying to me and that those probably don't exist??

I'd love to figure out what species this cutie actually is, or (if it's legit a purple coated conure) I'd appreciate it if someone could send me some more info / pictures

[crescentcaribou]

lol I have a minecraft stack of followers, maybe I should draw mcyt fanart

[sevenyx77]

Old lil art for @crescentcaribou !

[crescentcaribou]

Some Valentine's YCHs I did this past month!

I probably shoulda advertised this here too but oh well, they're still open if anyone wants to buy one but the price went up a bit after the holiday season ended lol. they're PWYW ($10+ > couple's art > art > other?)

when I saved the images to my image backups I made up ship names for 'em lol

Cherralie (Cherry x Natalie) ; owned by me (free, example)

Raùlus (Raùl x Silas) ; owned by my sis StrawberrySpells (free, example)

these are both owned by my friend @amore-roseae!

Rosapheen (Rosaphine x Nadeen) ; ($6 pwyw comm)

Monoli (Dr Monochrome x Lazuli) ; (free, raffle prize)

Lukascoe (Lukas x Roscoe) ; owned by W1LLOW (free, gift)

Tenxiety (Tension x Anxiety) ; sonas of CorruptedRythem + Cloudyvelvettea (free, gift)

Archar (Archer x Charlie) ; owned by MrPr3ttyB0i (free, raffle prize)

Toriam (Toria x Liam) ; owned by Dragonkisses ($20 pwyw comm)

these are both owned by my irl bestie @kable-is-drawing, and bought together as a $24 pwyw comm 💕

Klimur (Kliment x Murdock) ; Hutch (Hope x Butch)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

these were all super fun to draw! :3c

[crescentcaribou]

redesigned some of my OCs!

Natalie (she/they/mew)

my main goals:

to make her hair a bit more consistent (the pastel girl dollmaker was kinda half-straight and half-curly, but I wanted her to have natural curls)

to add at least one more obvious catlike element (to show her connection to cats, as a cat therian with a plush cat daughter)

to make her outfit more cottagecore (which mainly comes through on the dress shape and the floral embroidery)

to make it just generally less generic and more connected with her actual story and personality

esoteric-champagne

Her original design was made in Pastel Girl by @esoteric-champagne on March 3rd 2019 (for some reason tumblr isn't letting me tag them so I just. linked it manually, lol)

Elise (she/they)

my main goals:

to make her a bit more catlike (I had friends saying she looked like a lamb w/ her original ears)

to make her more reminiscent of a specific breed (grey tabby)

to base her off of my irl stuffed bear (bc she's the same size and it'd help me figure out where to put the seams / stitch marks)

to make her look more plushlike in general

Her original design was made in this picrew by @stunt-lads on March 3rd 2019

Zahira (they/she)

my main goals:

make them look more flashy / like a showman

make them fit better into the world setting

make their face more unique

give them a more masc-leaning androgynous look (to fit with their transness + goals)

incorporate a bell somewhere on their design along with a wing motif (for lore reasons)

age them up + make them a bit clumsy (also for lore reasons)

Their original design was made by TA1LSD0LL on Feb 14th 2019

[crescentcaribou]

the other prize from that characterhub raffle!! or, well, a work-in-progress version of it. this cutie is @javaarson's sonic OC, Starling! they're a bat mobian w/ a floating head :3

I'm really happy with the motion in this!! I think the idea is really fun, when I saw in the desc that they like to juggle their head I knew I had to draw it lol

woulda finished it (this only took like 4-ish hours and my hyperfocus was going brrr), but then my tablet pen decided to stop working permanently and I. can't exactly afford a new one rn 😭

[crescentcaribou]

finished it!! :D

I read an interesting study about the link between autism and prosopagnosia (face blindness) and I was curious :)

[crescentcaribou]

y'all 😭

[crescentcaribou]

yk, a funny thing about being (mildly) face blind is realizing that those cartoon disguises where a character just puts on a hat and a moustache would unironically work on me

[crescentcaribou]

BTW in the pansexual frogs group can u vote bout which profile we should do? :3

just did! :D
