Sunlight glimmers on glassy waves...
The breeze that carries the scent of salt
dances between the fronds,
which extend their fingers towards the horizon...
They, too, seek the freedom of the sea.

Hello, and welcome to my profile!
My name is Cress, I'm an artist and designer who's been on and off of the website for over 10 years. Whilst this isn't my first and original account, it's my main one, and my pride and joy.
I used to play this game whilst I was in secondary school with my friends during our ICT classes instead of listening to the teacher, and on the computers in the library.
My old account was @multicolour ... Good times..
Since then, I've finished my exams in that school, gone to college and graduated from there after 2-3 years, and gone to university for a course on creature, character and environment concept art, that was about 3 years - I've graduated that, and now I have a job. Isn't time crazy?

I'm interested in video games, mainly ones with wacky art styles, particularly nintendo games. I've also been playing a lot of Cult of the Lamb and Subnautica recently.
I'm also extremely passionate about coastal and marine life (as you can probably tell), and I regularly do beach cleans in my area and am a collector of japanese capsule fish figurines, I also own an ita bag that is chock full of fish and octopus pins and keyrings.
I've been working on producing some of my own designs for these things, I've got a few sticker sheets on my etsy at the moment, but right now it's more of a hobby than anything.
The octopus is my favourite animal of all time, I have like a zillion different octopus plushies 😊
Do feel free to reach out and chat about anything, I'm much more social than I might seem!

I'll be working on a few databases here, mainly for wishlists and keeping track of my cove list and progress. If you see anything missing from my wishlists you think might be up my alley then don't be afraid to let me know!

Soft white sand crunches under your feet as you make your way down the beach. The crystal blue water laps and growls besides you as you roaring sun beats down on the scene, sending flickers of rainbows splashing across the sand. The water bends out across the horizon into a deep mystery that reflects a glimmering image of the sun. Clouds seem to swim through the sky in streamlined shapes and take in the beautiful blue colour of the sky, which warps into all kinds of other purples and reds and oranges as the sun begins to crawl downwards. You raise your hand to the sun to shield yourself, and decide to take cover in the plant life that hugs the border of the beach. The mysterious but beautiful shrubbery shines in all colours of the rainbow, and the vibrant orange, red, pink and purple leaves brush and cling against you as you walk.

After a while of walking, you come across a small stream through the palm forest that takes you to a cliff that sticks back out into the ocean. The cliff is a deep rocky blue, jagged, and points up into a flat, unreachable surface far up that prods at the clouds. You follow the blue-grey rocks as the tide begins to go out, revealing flashy rainbow sand further along surrounded by equally bright coral.

But as you're inspecting the low-tide area, you notice a gash in the front of the rock wall where you couldn't see before because of the sea. You make your way over to inspect.

As you enter the cave, you hear a dripping and echoing sound that now accompanies the distant rushing of the tides. The inside of the cave is, expectantly, somewhat dark, but the wet glistening and some faintly glowing blueish and pink rocks help to illuminate your surroundings.

It's narrow and a little slanted at first, but soon opens up into a homely cave system, with plenty of rocky platforms filled with crystal-clear water pools, stalactites dripping down into them. Some of the pools are small and shallow, like the kind of thing you might find in a small rockpool, and some are much larger and deeper, some even appearing to open up into a deep black void. As you near the back of the cave, you spot what appears to be a makeshift home setup, with glowing rocks and driftwood fashioned into various things such as torches, a bed, and various forms of storage. Nearby is a medium side pool with a pile of eggs in the centre. You consider stealing them, when you turn around and spot someone.

Behind you, backlit by the luminous rocks, is a scraggy-looking person with short brown hair that falls just over their eyes. They're wearing pale greyish-coloured rags which are padded by shimmering scales that appear to change colour depending on the light. Behind them stands a creature, one you recognize from reading through the archives, called an Odraz. It's quite tall for it's species.

You feel threatened, but as do they. You tell them about how you just happened to stumble across this place in an attempt to ease the tension, and they seem to bite, forgiving you for intruding.

You sit down with them and then end up offering you some food they scavenged from the plants and across the beach, and tell you of their life, how they take in any eggs they find, often rescuing ones that get dragged out by the waves or stolen by predatory creatures. They tell you about how they foster and live with creatures, but don't "own" them, instead only living *with* them. The creatures come and go as they please.

They also tell you about how connected to the water they are. They're an extremely skilled swimmer and spend most of their time in the water, swimming with creatures and exploring the beautiful coral sea. With a life like this, they care not for trivial worries like having money - they are one with the world. If they require resources, food, fresh water, they seek it out.

You consider this way of living. It sounds too good to be true, and most likely is -- a lifestyle of this sort certainly comes with it's challenges. You finish your food and thank the mysterious person and their Odraz for their time and hospitality, and leave the cave just as the tide begins to come in.
