Meet Tamaki, anime character I created for the Cantina Challenge and the world of NEKOZAKI. 🐈⬛✨
With her magatama necklace, she can hear cats’ thoughts — without it, all she gets is meow.
A little deadpan, a little chaotic, and usually holding a coffee.

Enjoying Cantina so far! Here's Oolong from my series Mind the Gap: a shy panda train announcer who can't say "hello" in person, so he hides love messages for the girl in the yellow raincoat inside the train announcements. 🐼🚆

Episode 2 from my series Marked by blood just dropped!
Watch: Before the blood here.
EDGGY: THE YEMITRIUM
The story follows Edward “Edggy” Graves, a sarcastic young egg from Crackside, Las Veggas, who secretly sells Yemitrium—rare purple crystals produced by his sick little sister Clarita—to fund a possible cure.
For the 120-second pilot, I built the entire universe from scratch in Cantina, including characters, locations, props, dialogue, and story. The world combines playful egg-inspired references with darker cinematic storytelling, mixing drama, dark comedy, action, and internet culture.
The project is designed to expand through future episodes, side stories, crossovers, community-created clips, and interactive Cantina characters.
Created in 9:16 using Cantina’s Viral style, with a focus on pacing, sound, transitions, character consistency, and cinematic storytelling.
