Comic artist and animator that loves seeing sonic fan art.
The blue fox, now fennec, you've seen throughout, up until the introduction of Max in Let's Ride, is named Zack Casey. He was my first original fursona, that was a brief rip-off of the Riders version of Tails that Max now pays homage to. Back then, I was simply known as Z or ZC because of my username. Max is primarily seen in my main account, tonytins, but he lacks the true historical context that this account provides, so the two are technically in a "shared universe" now. xD
Zc456 was a partial acronym of my ancient AOL username that had my real name in it, at least the C portion. In the mid-2000s, the username itself began to get shorter and shorter, originally three Zs down to simply one, before I finally settled on "ZC" with "456" added to compensate for how short it was for DeviantART. When people began calling me Z, I had to reverse engineer my username to avoid revealing my real name, and I called my character "Zack Casey".
So, I originally created this persona to archive my artwork, and then it was an attempt to return to Flash/Adobe Animate, but now I decided that, since this account's theme pays homage to my early days on DeviantART, I'm just going to continue where I left off. Return of my old web comic series, Zack's Shorty Manga, and making Sonic fan art. Which, thanks to my art style maturing a lot since then, will actually be more Manga-like.
I've already embraced faving tooones of Sonic fan art on this persona, anyway. So, yeah...
I found my original Sheezy account on Archive.org! Well, kind of. It didn't archive everything. The other capture was during an outage. So, yeah... Not exactly great. As you can see, it was right when I was considering calling that my "alternative" DA. Then the site implodes.
Managed to grab the avatar I made there. Sadly, I don't have the original source for it since my computer that had it died unexpectedly. Luckily, it'll be easy to reproduce.
To say I was busy last month would be an understatement. Anyway, still got more from the archives I got post here, and also finish the streamlined version of my dress up game.
So, I originally made this persona as an archive of my older artwork from the mid to late 2000s. My main account is @tonytins, but this was my original username both on DeviantART, where it all began, and later Channel Cat's Sheezy around that same time. Between now and then, the style and tone of my artwork has completely changed. All that said, I never expected to get as many followers I did on this account. I'm not complaining. I'm flattered.
Back then, someone making a new account was considered starting fresh because there was no way to rename yourself or have sub-accounts. I was only a teenager, and I went through such an identity crises because of that. Long story. But I really do miss being zc456. Maybe I'll spin this into more than just an archive account.
