Alright everyone, it's time for an auction.
So as many of you may, or may not, already know I have posted two auctions before. I got some great responses and a few watchers to my group, nnp-devgroup.deviantart.com , concerning this. And of course have filled a couple of spots.
Special thanks go to these guys for showing support:
Bartender #1:
Bouncer #1:
Bouncer #2:
Server #1:
But for those who do not know please allow me to explain further.
Tall Tails is a project I have had in development for several years but it has not led to anything. It was meant to be an online CG animated series but was put on hiatus until life had stabilized a bit. Life has finally stabilized and I am bringing this project out of the back folders.
But here's the thing. While things are finally calm I still need to raise funds and support for this series. So that's what brings us here.
Within the series is the titular nightclub, Tall Tails, that caters to a diverse clientele. The clientele are the creatures that exist in the realms of fantasy, science fiction, folklore and myth. So, the staff has to be able to handle...the odd and be capable of handling the job that they are occupying.
This is where you, my friends and soon to be friends, come in. I want to have your OCs to be featured as the main staff for this club. This could be just an appearance or even a small speaking role.
So to cover some ground rules:
1. Please, no fan characters, unless they can be made lawyer friendly.
2. They can be any gender, race, species, color, creed, orientation, whatever.
3. Animal characters need to be anthropomorphized as either a furry or full on human. This could fall under rule 1 as is the case with Sonic, MLP and other fan characters.
4. If you can provide a three-viewed ref sheet of your OC that would be fantastic. It's not so much a rule, but it'd make things easier if I didn't have to get one done. Although I assume I will need so for at least a couple.
5. For each job we'd like to fill the positions with certain types of characters. The dj is pretty ambiguous, the bartenders would need a good mind (memorizing drinks, and the clientele requirements) as well as a charisma to sell higher priced drinks, bouncers need to be tougher having a large build, being a strong creature or a very gifted human, and servers should be relatively meeker by normal standards but should also be charismatic and tough enough to make sure they don't become what's on the menu. Mind you these are not requirements but it gives you a general idea of where a certain OC would be better suited. Remember, for those of you who haven't worked in a service industry, these jobs can be trainable,
That's it for rules. So let's look at what you can expect to receive should you win the auction:
1. Your OC being featured in the won position, whether as a simple appearance or a small speaking role. (This would be based on an episode to episode basis, mind you I wouldn't be able to feature everyone who wins in every single one but I will try to at least get an even coverage)
2. Credit appearance, your name (username or whatever you pick) will accompany your OC's name in the credits. Those of you who have browsed my gallery know I do this every time.
3. Full retention of your rights to your OC. These are not mine and will not be claimed as such. You reserve the right to have your OC removed at anytime. And when it comes time to give them a speaking role you get the final vote as to who is the voice. (Your vote counts as two of course)
That was just the metaphysical things you'll have. Now here are the material items you'll get:
1. A club uniform t-shirt, with the logo on the front and the job on the back.
2. A group photo print of all the OCs that win, with the owners of the club. (Like a family photo as it were.)
3. A theatrical poster for the show. The artist to be determined.
That's it for now. However, the material items may grow later on, should this get more support.
The slots we're opening for this round are:
1x Bartender (final slot!)
1x Bouncer
2x servers
Auction will close two weeks from today at 11pm CST.
So thanks everyone for your time. I look forward to seeing everyone. If there are questions feel free to ask, and I'll answer any and all that I'm able. But above all else, you guys are great and Happy Geeking.
