The name's Cassidy, but you can call me Panko or Sharky. I'm an 18yo southern transmasc gay dude shark-thing beginning a Film and Animation degree in the fall. My dream job is to be a showrunner for animated TV, but I'm also trying to specialize in character design, writing and storyboarding. My favorite genre is comedy, which may be obvious in my work. I love coming up with fun story concepts and characters and then putting them in goofy situations. I take a lot of inspiration from 2000s cartoons such as Phineas and Ferb, Invader Zim and Chowder. They're some of my favorite shows :D

Outside of cartoons, my favorite video games are Splatoon and Spore, and the streamers I mainly watch are Vinny Vinesauce, Jerma and Failboat (whose chat i moderate!). I'm also really into alternative rock; I listen to Pearl Jam, Incubus and Red Vox. yeah that's it i know i need to expand my horizons or however you wanna put it. I also LOVE marine biology and waterside/nautical subjects in general, and things related to mountain/forest life. These are the two wolves inside me except they're actually a shark and a bear. basically kind of what my gender is.

i have FOUR OC WORLDS and they are as follows, oldest to newest:

• Boardwalk of Beasts: Two teens are volunteer lifeguards for the summer in a beachside city where there's monsters who live as equals to humans. Mostly sitcommy, there's a major mlm ship, major fate-of-the-city stakes down the line maybe. basically an allegory for queer acceptance
• Gang's Bay: A bunch of friends fool around in a bayside town where other folks suspect they're a gang. One of them (my self-insert) plays into it and acts like their gang leader. This eventually gets them into a bloody gang war that majorly effects everyone involved. Takes place in the early-mid 2030s and is mainly an adult sitcom. Themes of love, trust, maturity, overcoming trauma and exploring masculinity. My current favorite :P
• Give Me Vertigo: A genre-hopping story where a perpetually tired interdimensional traveler goes on adventures with his friends in dream worlds he creates, all the while being constantly followed by some asshole twink who wants his powers for his own purposes. and you know those two are gayyy but in a very not normal way
• Palm Falls Mall: A pretzel vendor ends up in an endless limbo dimension version of the mall he works at. He's far from the first one there, but he's the first person to ever try escaping, and he is determined to get his life back. Super surreal vibes like 90s CGI and vaporwave

i wish i drew more like Full pieces rather than just doodles but school keeps me So busy. i hope you enjoy what i have anyway :)
