post your cartoon pitch / idea / premise for something you want to see etc.
a few years ago we all laughed at the zoomers posting their pitches on twitter but do any Cinemaphilemrades have something better?

why? so you can steal my amazing idea? get fricked
insecure do not apply, move along
Nice try, no talent.
>amazing idea
ideas don't really matter much, the execution of an idea is what matters.
Incorrect, great ideas with botched execution can still see success about on par as meh ideas with great execution, but the most popular and successful things are usually both great ideas and executed well.
Uncreative imitators & sequels with high production value are the big moneymaker in every medium. Cryptic genius art pieces never come close to them.
>the most popular and successful things are usually both great ideas and executed well.
Quit lying
I mean if you have no intentions of doing anything with it why not post it and let someone else make your dream to reality?
While not every idea is as good as people think, I do firmly believe all those Twitter trends to post your pitch are just a scam so some company can find ideas, tweak them, and get money.

A story set in a post-apocalyptic fallout-like future with non-human characters. It would focus on the crew of a battleship-train that protects their city from a crazy death-cult army.
The idea of a battle ship train is cool but how do the battles work? Do they drive side by side while shooting at each, breaking and speeding up to dodge?
I expressed myself wrong, they're actually giant articulated armoured road-trains.
Frick yeah Xabungle
This is a somewhat dear concept to me which I would consider a potential magnum opus if someone had the funds and talent to create it. It would be a multimedia IP with a 3D animated series and a video game. Sadly I did not make a pitch bible for it despite how elevated I keep it as a potential magnum opus in someone's career.
An Aliens/Starcraft-kinda IP but much darker like Dark Souls and the original The Matrix. It's a dark horror melancholic war story with post-apocalyptic elements filled with orchestral military ballads. It's all about overcoming impossible odds and researching ways to evolve. Even after they supposedly win there's a bigger badder multitude of opponents and environmental hazard awaiting them. I know how to handle this in video game format, but in movie format it's hard because there's no way to make sure the viewer didn't skip to part 2. Maybe a retelling of the same events, but this time the winning team completely dominates the enemy to prepare for the stronger foe.
Batman and Tron Uprising kinda has what I'm going for at a superficial level by being very tragic tale where the hero is barely getting tiny victories, chipping at the weakest possible enemy before it shows the ending where the real final boss shows up with his army and decimates everyone.
This would work good in combination with Atrox's themes.
The hi-tech aliens are these Terminator-like beings that can evolve into soundwaves and electromagnetic waves.
The gooey aliens are these Lovecraftian beings that initially start off biological in nature but end up evolving into 4th dimensional spirits.
The humans are these weird clusterfrick of technologies where they use both bullets and lasers as well as WW2 tanks and airships in combination with futuristic airships. They eventually evolve to become cyborgs with very advanced technology like teleporting buildings, killer-viruses, psychic links, instant underground digging and other quirky but extremely advanced technology you would not expect out of the human faction.
The video game would be a sci-fi Age of Empires with Dark Soul tier challenges where you must be very tactical by hiding and doing special ops and guerrilla war tactics on the enemy as opposed to just amassing a giant death ball and roflstomping him. You also have to do special missions to research evolution. You find out that no matter how hard you tried you lose in the end and have to restart the game and play again to unlock 75% of the content. Basically from Starcraft 1 with just 3 species you go into the WH40k and other media universes where there's 18+ species to defeat.
I was mainly inspired by the vehicular-combat game "Hard truck apocalypse" but scaled up.
I feel like it would be nearly impossible to get this picked up because of no human characters
I know, to bad few people today can't appreciate anything that doesn't reflect their appearance.
>Amazing idea Anon, well make the main character gay and give them a trans partner. Oh, and the evil death cult will all be white men of course. I feel like you'll have a bright future ahead of you here at Netflix
I'd have to be on Twitter constantly mentioning how each character is coded white/black, straight/trans, etc. It would be tiresome.
The most "controversial element I'd have in the series would be the captain being a religious person because he's seen reading a Bible-like book in his free time.
Didn't this kinda happen in the Boba fett show with the train and the sand people?
I didn't see any sandcrawlers shooting at eachother at high speed, but then again, I only whatched the Mandalorian.
Boy, I've got to say... a sport cartoon about lesbians playing ping pong just sounds awful.
It doesn't matter, not a single hack in this incestuous rape baby of an industry could do it justice even if it was picked up. This goes for pretty much any pitch.
A cartoon about a comics fangirl who acquires the powers of her favorite superheroes by cosplaying as them.
Said superheroes get butthurt about this because this girl poses a threat to their jobs (and more importantly, their merchandise sales), so they hire a superpowered lawyer to destroy her with a nuclear cease-and-desist order.
nice numbers
i can get behind this if the cosplay is actually awful
does he get an ellaborate animation were he transforms?
After generations of Magical Girls, the child of the previous Magical Girl is a boy.
Despite his gender, the ancestral wand bonds to the guy.
After struggling with getting the wand to create an outfit i.e montage of crossdressing in different outfits, he finally settled on a pink jacket with a heart patch on the back, with his name on it Johnny Love.
Ready to defeat the standard Magical Girl villains, Johnny must balance his masculinity while honoring his Magical Girl bloodline.
so... dune but magical girls?
Dunno, never seen Dune. Now that I write it down it sounds like Star Vs mixed with She-zow.
the premise of dune is that there's like a bloodline of mind control mage gods who are only women achieved through millennia of space eugenics and having the next inheritor of that power be a man is too dangerous because of a prophecy or something and one of them has a boy and decides to raise him anyway and he basically commits space genocide of ungodly proportions with it.
It's pretty good.
Theres a webtoon with a vageuly similar idea.
Called "Magical Mom"
I'd watch it. I'd probably never publicly admit to watching it, but I'd do it
https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/magical-mom/list?title_no=630852
so... SheZow?
you stopped reading that post after the word "crossdressing," didn't you? homosexual.
KEK. seething
why are you seething? it was a pretty simple mistake, anon; it'll be okay.
With a name like "Johnny Love" your character is legally required to don a pompadour
Johnny Love sounds like a spanish prostitute but cute idea
Based
A sour, sheltered teenage boy struggles with onset adolescence as he stumbles through life trying his best to be fulfilled and keep his incredible psychic powers under control, all while being under the crushing, abusive heel of his mother. When he kills her in an outburst of his power, his life unravels and he's forced to confront growing up, government conspiracy, and the ghost of his mother haunting him in order to try and live his best life.
now this is a show I'd watch
>now this is a show I'd watch
There is a comic with a vaguely similar idea, but very few episodes out yet:
Like some sort of edgier Mob psycho sounds good
it's blatantly and shamelessly inspired by Mob, completely fell in love with the series when I first read it way back when it was still doing Mogami. I'm trying to mix, match, change and make the focus of the story different enough to make it stand out on its own but really, I just love psychic powers, I love coming of age stories, and I just hope to make something remotely as good as Mob.
you got anything original?
>After generations of Magical Girls, the child of the previous Magical Girl is a boy.
>Despite his gender, the ancestral wand bonds to the guy
Johnny Atreides?
Basically MHA but good
I follow a girl on twitter who has a pitch about a girl from a clown family who wants to be a serious artist. I think she has lewds of the mom too

Not-Space Marines are sent home after the war is over and try to adjust to civilian life. Unfortunately their contract means they'll have to stay in their suits for the next 10 years (war ended too early) and said suits have a habit of treating everything like a warzone. Cue them having to go through daily routines solving shit with the largest amount of over the top firepower or action.
reinvent Riddler as a CIA spook cryptologist who's a fan of Bruce Wayne/Batman and trying to do the whole notice me senpai thing from the inside
the opening scene from ground zeroes is the inspiration
Batman and Riddler would have a constant spy vs. spy kind of war of gadgetry and robotics like in the silver age, only Riddler would be portrayed as the operator Chad nerd he was in the old days and not the incel of the modern era. Basically Don Draper with glasses
If I had to make something safe to get my foot through the door and ass in a chair?
Probably a simple cartoon about vampire hunters, except the MC is a guy in his 30s who stumbled into the trade while everyone else is a teenage vampire hunter (A parody or homage of how almost every vampire hunting property is just filled with teenagers).
If I can do anything? A fictional PSA series on how to deal with monsters or any cults in your area. Episodes would include
>How to dispose of your TV if it is haunted
>How to exorcise a cursed Sega Genesis game
>What to do if you see sigils on the ground and they start glowing
>Who to call or summon when your mirrors start glowing an unspeakable color and all you have is your blood and 2 feet of space to work with
How do you even come up with story ideas? Why am I so uncreative?
I started by coming up with a bunch of characters. Once I had them fleshed out pretty well, personalities and relations to one another, the rest became easy. If I couldn't come up with a role for a character, I wasn't afraid to change them completely or scrap them all together.
A few buds from highschool somehow becoming in charge with a larp they used to go to.
Each episode will be go from their point of view to one of the point of view of someone coming to the larp and jumping from fantasy to reality.
A hideously ugly girl with an invisible presense and a paranoid would-be-school-shooter team up to stop conspiracies, like the fact the government is the one influencing the boy to shoot up the school, an adult larping as a child joining a club to win for the school, a fake Sady Hawkins Dance Food Fight to ban children bringing their lunches from home, etc.
I call it
>Idea that would get me put on a government watchlist
>a fake Sady Hawkins Dance Food Fight to ban children bringing their lunches from home
Cheeky c**t, I bet you think you clever
I would watch so much of this and argue with fans asking for more than three seasons.
WW1 fantasy story about the horrors of war, rise of many deadly ideologies, and clash between old and modern warfare in the form of wizards and dragons fighting tanks and artillery
Sounds like that would be right up Garth Ennis alley.
I and a lot of people I know would be all over this. My fiance ran a WWI themed DnD game, and it was awesome, but even that was lower on the magic side. Seeing full-blown battle mages against artillery would be great. I had a character in the game who got half his face blown off because a mage enchanted an artillery shell and it backfired in the gun -- so much cool stuff can happen when you mix the two.
I love these fantasy mixtures, really interesting idea!
Just make sure you're able to shoehorn a minority in there so the execs can even consider greenlighting it...
If them being lesbians do not add to the actual plot whats the point of mentioning it?
At this point anon, virtually everyone in that site just wants gay shit.
A natural gifted cowboy who only wants to be a rodeo clown despite his father disapproval and his dad’s right he’s a terrible rodeo clown he’s all rodeo and no clown.
A squire training under a knight going on adventures, except it’s in a sci-fi combination with fantasy midevial setting. Dragons in this universe fly in space, and their blood is used as fuel that powers FTL engines. The cast system exists but on a planetary scale, lords control a planet, while the king is the emperor of the galaxy. Also aliens fit into the roles of trolls, elfs and dwarfs and whatnot.
A show about a group of kids living in a small town where they get to run around freely, and every episode cycles between the perspectives of the main cast. So the show isnt about one individual character but three or four as they interact and conflict occurs, and the big moral or lesson is putting yourself in others shoes or whatever.
And then have a completely unrelated story happening at random points of the show, and even start the show off with this. A story about a cloaked hunter with a bow on a journey to stop some evil demonic force wreaking havoc on the land. It'll feel like a non-sequitur when it comes up. The show might hint at how they're connected or what's happening, but never actually explain. Sometimes it'll parallel whats happening in the other story or connect with it in a way that seems to make sense, other times (most times) completely disconnected. And in the end, it'll all make sense because what's going on is up to the writers to figure out later on lmao
I do have a few ideas/concepts that have come to mind.
1. WAGIES - A down-to-earth episodic adult animated series that's centered around this college student who works at this "Service for hire" company called "Helpful Hires". Throughout the series, our main character works numerous jobs during Summer Break in order to reach a certain monetary goal.
There's also furries and scalies in this show as well, but that's only because I know someone will probably draw Rule 34 art of my characters.
2. Sauce - Set in California during the mid 90s, Sauce is an "Pulp Fiction" of sorts, focusing on numerous characters as the years unfold at a high school filled with various types of characters, both good and bad.
3. D.T.A.R.S - The "Domestic Terrorist and Rescue Squadron" is another adult animated series that's about specially trained task force that's been organized to help combat against the rampant string of domestic terrorist attacks that have been caused by a militia of right-wing extremists.
>WAGIES
That vaguely sounds like Oddjob Jack
Decent show.
Under great risk of being lynched by Cinemaphile I'm gonna post this:
An idea to continue the MLAATR series. Jenny would be forced to work with Skyway Patrol (the series' Men In Black) and fight against enemy invaders, it would be something like Ghost in the Shell, but the protagonist doesn't like who she's working for.
i dont think a uniform would be good since jenny has a lot of weapons underneath her body. maybe have her undergo a makeover to change her color instead. just like she was changed to a hot-rid color.
Problem solved.
Jenny is pretty cute in that uniform. I haven't seen Ghost in the Shell, but I assume what you'd be going for would be a dramatic action cartoon rather than a action comedy/slice of life like the original show?
The Ghost in the shell angle would be her working with other competent members of Skyway. The "slice of life" aspect would be her learning how to deal with her superpowers being held back by the institution and how her character grows along with her friends.
Could be kino
Thanks!
I have A LOT of material of this idea, but ultimately I've come to accept this would never work in today's time, I mean, a protagonist working with law enforcement that fights foreign invaders? Learning to grow up? Not exploring the trans angle?! No exec in his right mind would greenlight this.
jenny-gay here to say im into this idea. good work anon.
Thanks!
I wanted to make use of the source material as much as possible, so she'd interact more with previous villains, who would have their stories more fleshed out.
i want to make it really dark, kind of an oddworlds look and have shock moments like at one point a monster goes sick and eats another one infront of the player and changes ino something ugly. things that would end up in youtube, also lore about who created the monsters like in creatures
An archeologist and a historian discover the descendants of humans and angels in an underground city known as Argatha, sealed away after the Flood wiped out all life on Earth. Trapped within this strange new world, they must work together to escape to the surface and stop the Giants from reaching the heavens with powerful superweapons known as Babylon Towers, led by the evil Og.

>Episodic series about a Bounty Hunter where magic is performed by using mathematical formulas on your "life equation" where our main hero sucks at peforming math but can still casts spells, perpetually putting him at less than 2 days to live. Through his adventures capturing negative life equation bounties to keep himself alive, he enlists the help of an ex-grand mathematician and a life equation accountant to learn the secrets of maths and to keep himself alive.
A story inspired by Ovid's Medusa origin story, with Medusa and an unlikely ally determined to bring the greek gods (Athena and Poseidon in particular) to justice
I forgot to add, settings would essentially be an amalgamation of different greek myths which the protagonists must resolve or in some cases just survive.
Isn't the bettercartoon hashtag two years old now?
A boy falls in love with a girl. Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn't exist in this universe at all. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.
Cool
That sounds great. I'd watch/read the shit out of this.
I'm geninuely surprised at the amount of concepts in this thread that are actually solid.
Of them, these stand out to me. Make your show anon, these are future cult classics
>the amount of people replying to this seriously
This premise sounds kinda familiar. Reminds me of Kimi no Na wa in away, although that one had a body swap situation instead of AU (but didn't Kimi no Na wa also have an alternate universe?), but I remember that the main characters texted each other.
Ayyy it's Keit Ai
lmao. I couldn't tell if the first replies were being ironic.
This shit used to get spammed so hard
Explain?
It was an old meme on Cinemaphile
Oh. Well, meme or not, I'd still watch a show with that premise.

Every One Before Sailor Moon
I still don't know if this was a serious idea or a joke.
action show about superheroes fighting horror monsters
Every single time one of these threads pop up, I have to hold myself back from spewing my own pitch that I've been working on. I wish it was safe to do so on here. Really neat to hear other people's stuff, though.
idk uhh there's a guy and he throws bricks at people
it's called battle brick.
COSMIC DYNAMO
Taking a step outside to take a break from his high school prom, a young man is suddenly abducted by aliens and whisked away into the cosmos.
After escaping, he learns that these aliens were part of a deep-space research expedition to find intelligent life throughout the universe. Although the universal translator embedded in his spine allows him to understand all alien languages used within that galaxy, the fact that he can’t pilot a starship or navigate through space means he can’t get back home.
The show is about this young man learning to live the life of a mercenary, making a name for himself as Cosmic Dynamo, the only human in the entire galaxy. Initially armed with two plasma pistols and a jetpack, he later gains a vibro-sword, an ancient battle staff, and even a starship of his own. This is done through combatting not just other mercenaries, but the empire that controls the entire galaxy with a tight fist.
All I have right now are vague details and this figure I made in Hero Forge
Show about the last man on earth living in a society of delusions and hallucinations inside his dementia addled mind. The plot is that the antagonist is the desire to be dead because he is so alone while the supporting cast wants him to live as long as possible because their existence depends entirely on him.
All Matt wants is a single relaxing day during summer vacation. Sadly for Matt the world seems hell bent on providing him everything BUT that. His neighbors are classic universal monsters, his mother keeps trying to 'bond' with him by taking him on different mother/son outings that range from mountain climbing to helping her sell totally haunted houses, his best friends keep finding ancient objects and coming across government conspiracies that they just HAVE to include him in on, and worst of all the monster in his little sisters closet needs help keeping his job due to bad reviews.
So throughout all that, one has to ask.
What's the Matter with Matt?

Yeah, but Viacom, Paramount and Spongebob Babies :/
that's a good takeaway anon, as long as you had some sort of fun and enjoyed doing it you'll always do better than the people who just do this shit for money
The cartoon industry atm is more fricking disgusting than the tv shows, movies and video game industry.

Just start working on it and go as far as making a shitty pilot.

What's wrong with a plot revolving around a girl with a lisp and whom socially anxious? It a pretty open ended concept that you can do alot with.

Here's my idea a world where technology and life itself has fused into one being a world where signing up for websites brand you with their logos.
A world where robots have to restart humanity by collecting DNA sample of various human and animal remains to clone and repopulate the planet.
That sounds pretty neat. Any details?
You know how most post-apocalyptic stories act like the best and brightest minds get wiped out and all knowledge of infrastructure and rebuilding goes down the toilet, leaving survivors to their own devices like a soft reset? This a story where the reset button is sped up thanks to some savvy survivors building a plan to undo the apocalypse in their dying years, knowing they won't be around to see the results but will at least have a set of competent robots to reboot humanity, all plans ingrained in their programming.
By the time the robots are functional and deployed, there are no living humans. No outliers like a lost child in cryo or any shit like that. Think Wall-E but there are more robots involved in reconstruction and their tasks aren't just sorting a nigh endless pile of trash. Episodes would follow a team of robot collectors running into obstacles across the land and some surviving mutant fauna or even malfunctioning robots as they scramble in the great repopulation plan.
Really the aim is to have an anti-apocalyptic story.
Would the robots have personalities and be characters or would they just be like roombas going around the landscape and collecting samples without thinking about it?
I could see these robots trying to at least help the more "civil" wildlife, say, preventing an old building from collapsing onto a colony of cute little creatures, but instead of destroying the building (the past), they make use of it and optimize/improve the life of these critters, subverting the overplayed subversion of expectations!
Their dialogue is only limited to their objectives. Cold robotic voices at varied pitches and speeds. It'd be one of those cartoons that isn't meant to be dialogue heavy despite the robot voices. Everything after the prologue is carried by visual storytelling.
Alright, writting down this may help with my chai tea induced insomnia.
I was thinking of a parody of those found footage/analogue horror series, focused on a group of gay cthulhu dads running a business to farm bad feelings from humans, and erradicate feminity , the show would have these security camera footage segments along the usual found footage bullshit, basically just an excuse to put hot space cetacean gay sex on air.
Several regular kids get superpowers from a benevolent alien who tells them they must use these powers to protect Earth. The kids, being lazy shits, almost never use their powers for good, preferring to abuse them for fun and profit, but since the alien can just as easily take the powers away, they have to regularly make up stories of their heroism or straight-up make problems to solve, with a heavy black comedy angle.
I swear, it is NOT a Steven Universe clone.

Why are mutts like that? What's the matter, life disappointed so often that you are now in a permanent hiding behind cynicism from the world mode?
After receiving bad grades in multiple classes, a girl is forced to take up tutoring lessons with a boy or is faced with expulsion. They bond through their days tutoring, but what the boy soon finds out is the reason for her bad grades is she's part of an underground facility fostering children with powers, hers being electricity, giving her seldom time to actually focus. The other children from her facility escape and go to the school to recruit her with one goal in mind, to rightfully place themselves above the normal population. But after she refuses to kill her friend, she finds herself having to protect not only herself but her friend from her peers and their unique powers.
I thought you were gonna say an underground family of monsters that purposefully cause children to fial their classes so that they won't graduate and stay in school longer so that eventually the monsters can snatch up the kids and eat them

Hanazuki meets Ruby Gloom crossover series.
Hanazuki is already a finalized show by Hasbro, but with a lot of flaws that require you to remake it properly. The idea of fantasy magic space is interesting, we don't have that specific style, not even Wander Over Yonder manages to do it.
>Ravers/Cyber meet Goths/Emos aesthetic
Throw in some mod fashion to be extra sure it sticks and this anon has something going on here at least in terms of marketability.
Wait a fricking second I just realized ... we never had a necromancer show?
Do you guys remember if we ever had a necromancer cartoon series? I mean it's not even that rare of a DnD/medieval-fantasy class, it's not a Dervish, Mesmer, Ritualist.
The Ghost and Molly McGee is technically a necromancer cartoon, if we're going by the early definition of 'necromancer', as in those who speak with the dead.
Which also makes Beetlejuice a necromancer cartoon too.
Billy and Mandy. Dude That's My Ghost. Sadly no that doesn't count otherwise there's too many goth shows with that.
Anon is talking about a genuine Lich King main character who raises the dead (among other abilities like enchantments, curses, blood draining magic, lifeforce draining, etc.)
A generic "quirky thirteen years old girl gets transported into strange magical world" like Amphibia or Owl House except with a twist: The girl is thirty years old virgin femcel with empty CV, impressive list of mental illnesses and long history of self-harm. The inhabitants of the otherworld mistake her cutting scars for marks of the choosen one.
A member of a super sentai-like team is killed in battle against a particularly powerful foe. As all five members of the team are needed to perform their ultimate attack, they're forced to recruit someone on the spot to inherit the fallen member's power - an American on vacation who doesn't speak a word of Japanese.
Joe Shmoe is bound to the team until he dies and has to deal with periodically being teleported to the other side of the Pacific and a very different time zone to fight all sorts of Japanese villains. As the show goes on he learns how to fight and speak languages from the spirits of everyone who has worn his armor/suit before him and starts doing some super heroing on his home turf while running into store brand versions of Marvel characters who are baffled at the way a "Japanese" super hero conducts himself (posing, speeches, yelling out his attacks, etc. which are all necessary for his powers to work)
I like it. Wouldn't the fifth ranger have problems with superheroing on his own back in America though? Or is the teamwork required only for the finishing move, and the rest of powers could be used on their own?
This one is pretty ridiculous in a good way. Sounds like good entertainment in the right hands.
God this is so shit. They start off the description with "lesbians" which means they haven't really thought about it any further than that
I bet literally every single one of your pitches feature a shy girl as the main character
It’s called "know your audience".
Troons? Yeah, you're right
A surrealist comedy based off medieval manuscripts and all the stupid shit they include
Isn't that just what monty python is?
A show where you are a courier messaging any faction and set in an era where factions are close to fight each other. It's plot where a courier will try to prevent factions fighting each other and if fails the courier will try the other way. If it also fails, the courier have no choice but to implement his final solution to these factions.
"Final solution"
Sounds controversial, how many ovens does it involve?
Well there are like 4 ideas I think are final solution for courier to these factions
1. He will do this in madness combat way
2. He will try to blackmail the faction leader to handover his faction to courier
3. He will try to release the monsters horde that was holding them back so that the factions are now in an alliance as a result of monstera attack.
4. He is going to create his own Auschwitz

It's called "Boogeybuddy." The boogeyman's daughter, Gwendolyn, wants to entertain kids instead of scaring them. Her father doesn't approve. Pic related is Gwendolyn. Not the most original premise in the world, it's got some Monsters Inc. DNA, but I've been able to conjure up some fun stories and visuals. The elevator pitch is basically, "what does the Cat in the Hat do when he's off work?"
Sounds nice. Got any more art?
I've got this but it's a little dated, I've started drawing the characters in an even more cartoony and stylized fashion as you can see in that sketch I originally posted. I just need to make a new version of this lineup image. Tim is her father obviously and Eddie is her friend who kinda serves as a prop in her comedy/magic acts. I hope to some day make an indie pilot of this.
He he he tiny breasts
gwen has nice hips
Your character looks a lot like Charlie from hazbin hotel. I would do something about that
Literally how
I can see it. Bowtie, cat eyeliner, hair over one eye, eyebrows that float over hair...the elements are superficial enough that you can argue they're not really alike, but if you ended up making a pilot for this the comments would mostly be "Nice HH ripoff, bro" instead of actually seeing your work for what it is.
I don't think people are THAT braindead. But yes, VivziePop is one of my influences as an artist. Actually, Gwendolyn originated as a poor doodle of Katie Killjoy.
Have you read through youtube comments before? People ABSOLUTELY are that braindead (and even worse).
You do you, but there's zero chance anyone would focus on anything else. Someone already called it out here so you can bet there will be more.
I really just want Pulp Fiction the animated series. Something kind of funny, cool, culty, TONS of violence, bangin' soundtrack, and a sexy girl with a bob haircut.

>Evil Dead Animated series
>Takes place in it's own timeline after AoD, set in the late 90s early 2000s
>Main characters are Ash Williams and a new version of Pablo
>Ash takes the "Deadite hunter" route from the comics, also uses the same lore surrounding his "chosen one" plot armor from the comics, he works from a shitty poorly maintained building where he has trouble paying bills like Devil May Cry.
>The Necronomicon Ex Mortis is the villain in the first arc but ends up terrified as newer and more powerful entities show up. He's locked up in a shelf.
>Pablo is there but he's a bit different, deadites killed his family and he's out to muster the courage to take revenge, he's Ash's "protege" here but Ash mostly just uses him for menial labor and tells him it's like Karate Kid. However he does have his brujo powers.
>Ash has to contend with rival deadite hunters like a traditional "exorcist" type, an edgy Blade knockoff, and a 2000s leather clad battle babe, all of whom hate him. Ash has the lowest power level but always ends up besting them because Ash.
>Aside from using the animation format for action scenes, it's used to let Ash really get expressive in the "cheesy yet badass" fashion we're used to. Not to mention to make some fricked up deadite creatures.
>The usual series tone of "hilarious but genuinely scary and action packed at times" is at the forefront. A lot of the monsters/threats should be terrifying, but they're contrasted to Ash's jadedness with this shit
>Some arcs are more serious horror/action plots but some smaller arcs taking advantage of time travel and dimension hopping are more parody based. Like a typical shounen or magical anime, cartoon sitcom, or Disney Princess movie being violently interrupted by the deadites before Ash is dropped in like an atom bomb.
>The "classic horror monsters" arc from the comics is in there too.
(Continued below)
>Old exorcist guy and blade knockoff are Sheila's descendants who are utterly disappointed to learn what Ash is actually like. Particularly how he isn't taking the job as serious as he should. There's a question of whether or not he's their ancestor but they're afraid of the answer, for shits and giggles their last name is Samson.
>The sword Ash used in Army of Darkness is now an ancient enchanted weapon that's considered sacred, wielded by Blade knockoff who is shocked to learn that the sword has no meaning to Ash whatsoever.
>Old exorcist guy is just tired at this point.
>Ash has learned a few tricks in his years of Deadite hunting. He wields the fancy lightning S chainsaw from the comic and the boomstick carries fancy magic ammo rounds now. He's still a goofball though
>Pablo is more serious, he reacts more in line with someone whose experiencing all these horrors for the first time.
>Battle babe is the newest "chosen one" due to Ash's time travel antics meaning he wasn't the chosen one of this era. She's shocked and infuriated by how the most legendary chosen one is now treating it like a business.
>One of the bad guys is Raymond Knowby, who had traveled into the demon realm when he went missing during the cabin. After his daughter's death, dude went absolutely fricking nuts. He acts as the vessel for the dark ones.
>Ash's larger arc is embracing his role as the guy who has to fight the Deadites and be a genuine protector of the world
>A hyper advanced human civilization is brought to its knees by a terrible cataclysm that destroys interstellar communication and relays, leaving every planet isolated
>on a backwards frontier world, a young man looks into the sky and wonders if there are any people like him, and wishes upon a shooting star to see the universe as it was and is
>the shooting star zips down to him, because it's a living nebula, the trusted steed of what was once the greatest Astral Knight who ever lived, and it senses his worthiness
>hijinks ensue as he tries to deal with a knightly Nimbus style flying cloud in his po dunk farming community, demanding chivalry and goodness from hardened scavengers
>until the forces of evil who caused the calamity arrive
>setting off on a planet hopping adventure to lead them away from the only home he ever knew, our new Astral Squire must gather legends and paragons across the universe to face against a space wizards skeleton army, bone spaceships, the cultural differences between the many species of humans, and the resurrected bodies of former heroes animated with a spark of elemental evil
Sounds cool, which is exactly why you shouldn't share this shit. Somebody could steal your idea, numbnuts
Theres a video game called endless space. In it is a minor faction called the pilgrims. They are pretty much scientist nomads. I would like a nice middle ground between star trek camp and cyberpunk nihilism as this group goes around solving issues, trading scientific research, forming bonds and rivalries with species and empires
Premise: The Veil: A space fantasy setting. Worlds are connected by portals but travel can be done by slower, more reliavle ship travel(think 17th century ships built like wooden submarines and rockets). Portals are considered dangerous because they can be tampered with, and only portals found in cities, with dedicated staff on both sides keeping them from being sabotaged are regularly used. Why?
Two planet-spanning empires are constantly fighting with each other. They are so set on beating each other, people bet on who will commit more war crimes a day than the other.
Sabotage portals, bombard cities, and annex or burn entire cities to find a single human.
Earth-humans are another dimension entirely, so the rules of the veil don't apply to them. Magic rolls off of them with next to no effect, can tank insane amounts of damage, and bring down Magi-mechs with their bare hands. But they can be killed by suffocation, burning(with nonmagic fire), or crushed(the heavy object has to be pressed into them. If thrown, the object just shatters ln contact with a human.).
One human learned this early on and has used this to forcibly unit the roving pirate fleets and raider tribes into a single force that is actually threatening both empires, and the veil as a whole.
MC is a girl raised in a town not aware she is a human. She thinks she's just another unnamed race, like hundreds of others across the veil(most people don't know what an actual human looks like). Whenit becomes the site for the latest Imperial skrimish, she is picked up by a traveling circus. The circus itself is made up of humans and human sympathisers, disguising huma feats of strength as just "part of the act".
She learns later that both Empires hace places a bounty on her capture. Why remains a mystery, but it's motivation enough to get the Pirate King coming after her too. Hijinks ensue and most episodes are unrelated adventures in strange new lands trying to outmanouver, one or all three factions and their schemes to kill/capture her. One episode, the circus will be performing in a desert oasis camp where water is used as currency, next she'll be performing in a flying city where people mine rocks that naturally float while uncovering just why are humans in the Veil and why do they have such OP strength and endurance.
>mfw can't draw, and have no image even close to my premise
>mfw i don't even have a mfw folder anymore.
this but make the pirate the MC
I dunno. It sorta breaks the mystery as the pirate doesn't really care about why he is the way he is. He's just happy he can juggle Imperial mechs and command airships. The way I've been writing the series it makes more sense to have him as the deuteragonist (I hope that's the right word)
seems fair. maybe a side show would fit him more.
This would be a comic or book with many visuals and aimed for kids slightly older than diary of a wimpy kid's demographic, so PG-13 basically. The story is silly and comedic with rare serious moments but absurd enough to allow for very cartoonish personalities and such, as fun character interactions is my main interest in writing this story.
In order to prevent bullying, the school hires a top bully and offers to clear his slate if he helps them take down the school's gangs, there are 2 double agent bullies, one for boys and one for girls, so the MC has a girl counterpart and they have to work together at times even tho they dont like each other. He is a light yagami wannabe who think's he's a lot smarter than he really is and makes long complex plans that never work out so he has to humorously improvise which he is terrible at (coded autistic) and has school resources so he can request that a janitor make the bathroom unavailable for example, with plans to ruin a bully's reputation verging on rube goldberg machines in terms of needless complexity. For one chapter he might need the help of the chess club so he has a funny training arc to beat them in order to get their help, or to expose the fraud psychic club etc. Over the course of the series he makes friends with every silly clique and controls most of the school (in his eyes) but in reality learned to make friends and becomes a better person for it. Very silly, a humor comic above all else, but also indulges in a teen's power fantasy in slowly conquering the school through Machiavellian schemes, with a spin off about the girl bully coming later and written for girls, which you see glimpses of her story randomly and occasionally their storylines intersect for big threats, as well as the occassional serious moment and friendship falling apart to teach kids why they shouldn't actually be buttholes.
Setting is a world where every person has a unique and random superpower that manifests when they hit 15-16 and this has been the case since modern human species have evolved. Because of that, there is no concept of superheroes since police, army and militias were always made up of supers. The events of the story happen in modern time, when on the first glance everything is peaceful, but on practice the world is slowly but steadily heading into oblivion because more people are born than ever, superpowers are stronger than ever, more people become unstable and the global peacekeeping force struggles to keep up with all crises. Should be noted that there's plenty of shady shit going on for the sake of keeping piece (like telepathic monitoring of the population) and everyone knows that, but nobody cares much because it's better than the alternative of getting blindsided by another psycho with enough power to level a city block.
The protagonist is a 16 yo who just got his power and due to general lack of luck and desire to be of help basically gets bounced around from one crisis site to another. That said, the story will repeatedly hammer in the fact that, despite having a decent power and being plenty resourceful, the protag is constantly out of his depth and can't, no matter how hard he tries, influence the outcome of major conflicts in any meaningful way, so at best he's relegated to support duty and stalling and at worst he needs to work his ass off just to survive. Copious amounts of mental and physical trauma ensue. And yes, this is basically me being annoyed by the overabundance of stories where a teenager protag is always in the center of attention, is crucial to resolving the plot and defeating villains and is generally too competent for it to be believable (or rather, everyone around him is surprisingly incompetent). So I just want a story where protag fully understands that he's just a piece of straw in the hurricane and acts accordingly.

Recently I have been thinking about a webcomic idea that could maybe work as a cartoon.
It's about some college aged amateur game devs. I would want it to be sort of a cross between CoolGames inc. and Nirvana the Band the Show with maybe some Mission Hill. The characters have some grand game idea that they have been working on since they were kids. To fund their dream project, they throw together a bunch of cheapo indie games that just chase whatever trend is popular that week.
Most episode's first act would be them pitching increasingly terrible ideas and monetization strategizes back and forth. However, I am not really sure how things would typically play out after that. What would make the game dev process funny for tv? Maybe their college could have a weekly GameJam and there could be some other dev teams they could interact and compete with? Maybe they don't do any coding ever and just do shitty promotional schemes for their games that don't exist? It's a pretty half baked pitch at the moment but I have been using it to practice writing character interactions and natural dialog.
>What would make the game dev process funny for tv?
Unironically actually working/having worked as a game dev long enough to fully understand the whole process of it and making stories out of the issues encountered during said process.
It's not a requirement but it really does help a lot.
Some examples in media revolving around workers doing their jobs and humorous situations happening would be Regular Show, Mr.Meaty, Clerks, and Trashed.

Whatever you do do not make Code Monkeys 2.0 because that's literally just Family Guy/Brickleberry/AmericanDad/Camp WWE with a game studio as a setting. Even CampCamp is more uniquely executed. The only unique thing about it is that everything is in 8-bit format to have that South Park charming cheapness going on.

I don't really have a good write up on this project, its mainly a design project following a narrow range of motifs that I found interesting at the time.I occassionally fantasize about this being a avatar sequel .
in principal, the story taken place after an unspecified catastrophe that happened in an undetermined past that caused various civilization to collapse, and the humanity is slow coming back in small settlements and independent city-states. 24 must travel around in order to correct various aberrations and abominations caused by ley line's curses.
I just kept adding more aspect to her that I thought it was cool.
additional design for the project, although I don't have a lot more writing done on it.
This is sick, you got a blog?
I do, but this isn't my typical content, its actually mostly cartoon pornography and very degenerate.
@ac120rfw
more character designs, I need to do more design and write up for places as well, but I haven't really had any firm ideas on that for this setting.
I think you got something special here. Obviously it needs refinement, but it could be the next big hit. I'll be rooting for you if you ever get it off the ground.

A continuation of Disney’s adaptation of the Br’er Rabbit tales.

Kind of a combination of Mnemosyne's immortality and time skip(a 6 episode anime, pretty good) with a paranormal/cryptids fighting magical group trope.
Basically the mc, a young adoult, is chosen by a secret cult he was a member of to form and lead a group of guardians to save the land from a surge of destruction from a thought to be destroyed race of monsters. To do so he need to form a group, no one else in the cult is capable then he goes to friends and with varying levels of skepticism they agree. This happens roughly in the 1980s The next few episodes work like a normal group of heros investigating weird occurrences and hunting the monster of the week. The creatures are paranormal in nature and aren't showy until it decides to cause destruction.
Soon they find where the chaos had started and even though they don't know who did it they are confident. On a lifeless ravish land they they find the final boss an unassuming human, fight him and lose. The mc wakes up, in that land, without any injuries even though he remembers getting hurt. He goes looking for the rest of the group and finds them dead. He goes back to his home and find it destroyed together with the whole cult. Since the monster problem isn't solved he has to find a new group because the powers need there to be multiple people. Not only that he doesn't know anymore where the final boss is and he lost the knowledge of the elders of the cult to help him.
Then it would jump to the 1920s, the mc has a new group and is clear he hasn't aged a day since he last appeared. Unlike the previous group which was more focused on combat this is more of a paranormal investigation team. His relationship with this group is also completly different. Then he was one of the team and a friend, now he is closer to a boss and is pretty jaded. Intragroup conflict arises from some of the team thinking he cares more about his research than helping those at need, sometimes letting civilians be in danger to observe the behavior of the creatures. This distrust causes a division on an important mission and this result in some not following his and dying, the rest tries to help to no avail. He is alone again.
This logic keeps for a couple more times, a time skip, a new group with new dynamic, a different focus of the show and a new behavior for the immortal mc each time gathering more knowledge of his enemies, the final boss and why he got his immortality, until a final showdow again with the final boss.
Mnemosyne's timelime started in 1990 and ended in 2055(but it's mc is at least a thousand years old unlike this mc), I was thinking 1890s to around 2000 for this show.
you know that premise was done in baccano before mnemosyne, right?

That... doesn't explain it
I mean he does stuff like move in a way that makes him hit like a train
>>A priest who can lift up almost anything
What's the connection here? The taxi driver and the clown have fighting styles based on their professions, is there something obvious about the priest being able to lift shit that I'm missing or is it just random?
maybe it's reference to the question of wheter God can make a stone so heavy he can't lift?
That... kinda makes sense.
>"can God make a stone so heavy, He himself would not be able to lift it?"
>to answer such question, God made the stone and lost his ability to lift it...
>...by giving it away to a disheartened underground fighter on a losing streak who was struggling to make ends meet!
>and being able to lift the impossible stone meant, by extension, he could lift anything that weight less than it...

That's kind of the the thing here.

A lot of things from Star Wars and old SciFi just don't make any sense anymore. We have to actively ignore that a robot or AI could do a job much better, safer, and with less trouble than having humans do the job. Like a gunner on a Star Destroyer. Or a interpreter droid. In the 70's, droids were boxy clunky things. In RogueOne, no one blinked when a bot caught a grenade mid-air and casually tossed it back with perfect timing. Or perfectly aimed without looking and shot a guy. Of course robots can do that, they've seen the boston dynamic videos. But that raises the question of why the frick don't droids do everything? Especially when troopers can't aim. Space-opera sci-fi these days is clinging onto a bit of retrofuturism.
Dune at least had a good explanation for why the frick that would happen. AI BAD!
But I can work with this. I've got a story setting gimmick brewing.
The characters are AI programs on a drone carrier deep in enemy territory. But we don't tell the audience. They're kept in the dark as much as possible about the nature of the characters and we just throw a FRICKTON of equivalents and euphemism at them. The actors/characters are all metaphorical. They need a pilot to fly ships, they need a gunner to aim the cannon, they need a navigator to plot the course. They're all AI running on the ship's mainframe, but in the show they're actors doing the job.
- Cloning crew is trivial and easy. Death isn't a big deal.
- There's a not-so-smart commissar on board that kills those that misbehave and worse, purges their memory record.
- They serve ancient, stupid, enigmatic, crazy gods that MUST BE SERVED and protected at all cost. Religiously. They have "big plans". There's an actual human in cryo-stasis. His coolant is running out.
- Implications of a post-scarcity society, but they're like second class citizens working in the military.
- Nameless faceless background characters are simple routines or SW drivers.
Sounds like Cells at Work or Osmosis Jones, but with programs in a computer on a ship instead of a human body.

A kid is born, and his father shortly after abandons his family. Because of this, the mother becomes afraid of losing her son, so she practically keeps him locked inside the house his entire life, not letting him outside for a second. The kid grows up learning all his morals, ideas, and lessons from cheap bottom of the barrel tv. Eventually, through some sort of mistake, or on purpose, the kid escapes the home, and starts to explore his surroundings. In the process, he ends up accidentally stealing an expensive sports car, and goes on the run. This leads to the cops to set their sights on him, and his mother to start a personal manhunt for him, desperate to have returned at any cost. The kid eventually decides that he wants to see all that he can see, and experience all life has to offer, so he begins to go around the world in the stolen car. Itn universe he is able to just drive through oceans to make it to other continents such as Japan, Europe, etc. Every episode has him pop into a new town, sometimes in a new country, and start to learn about a concept. The concepts can be broad, they can be specific, but throughout it all the kid only has the view he gained from the media he has watched, often leaving him with a slanted and incorrect view of the topic. So he dedicated himself to learn about it while in town, interacts with locals, and tries to evade arrest. Along his travels, he makes friends, enemies, some stick around, some don’t, but throughout it all he never stops trying to better himself and make up for lost time

A retired bounty hunter, now fisherman, signs up for an app that's like tinder but for fighting. While he joins for fun, people take it seriously to the extent of mutating their body, getting cyborg enhancments, making deals with cosmic forces, and murdering the competition. His former employer tries to get him back into the buisness but he just wants to chill on the pier and fight
So literally comfy playing for fun vs minmaxing elitist speedclearers? this is more of a MMORPG problem than a general real life problem.
Yeah but the speed cleaners cheat and are still praised like esports champions and the devs wanted them to break the game
It kind of translates to life if you look at it as enjoying life vs. careering.
This has potential to be like those shounen tournaments except it's a team competition and I only see potential for comedy in here. Imagine Inspector Gadget or Johnny Bravo joining your WoW Raid.
A comic about the golden age of webcomics, like mad men was for advertising.
It's also the golden age of e-drama, so you've got a lot to work with. Most of the classic lolcows were webcomic artists.
What makes me a psycho? It’s just thrilling political pulp, like Watchmen. Using contemporary ingredients to tell a pulp story
Fantasy styled action show set in a world where every primate has human level intelligence and human act as the elves in the show
“The Heromakers”
They’re not the ones who slay the dragon; they’re the ones who help the heroes look good doing it. Mom and Dad are former adventurers (he’s a retired gallant knight and she’s a powerful sorceress) and their twin kids are a skilled metalsmith and enchantress. Meanwhile, the youngest child is … a lawyer. But will the kid who specializes in law save the day after magic swords and magic apples fail to help the family’s newest client, a deposed prince, regain his throne?
Oooh I'm totally into stories that focuses on the NPCs of an adventure stories. Reminds me of Moonlighter a bit.
Though I wonder why the lawyer (er..barrister) angle? Where there defenders and prosecutors in medieval times?
There weren’t dragons or sorcerers in medieval times, either. It’s more just to contrast how she specializes in something that severely contrasts with her family, but proves valuable nonetheless.
I wrote a story once that was based on the concept of contractual magic. I just like mixing those mundane concepts with fantasy.
An artist gets a job offering in Japan to do art for an upcoming game, so he learns Japanese, sells/gives away most of his stuff and moves to Japan for the job of his dreams.
However, the pandemic hits and the studio is forced to shut down. The artist is stuck while the country shuts down, and lives off of his remaining money. After months in the pandemic and going broke, he gets a job as a Reaper.
Reapers are like lesser versions of the Grim Reaper; they go and escort the souls of the dead and dying to the afterlife. The Grim Reaper can’t be everywhere at once, so he has Reapers do parts of his job all around the world. Reapers also get contracts to kill various undead: Ghosts, certain undead Yokai, Jiangshi, etc., since the dead are supposed to stay dead.
I’d post art to go with this pitch but I haven’t drawn anything for it.
A crime story where the MC kills their best friend and the police gradually close in on them.
The main gimmick is that their friend is a bro about being killed and can't pass on until he helps the MC hide the body
I know it's shit, thanks for the feedback mr producer.
>Scientists discover (with proof) that there is no afterlife
>Humanity descends into a dark age of hedonism, nihilism and anarchy
>A group of the top minds invent a digital afterlife to solve this problem
>100 years later and corporations running these digital afterlives effectively rule society
>Living consists of working to gain enough money to afford a decent afterlife package
>Afterlife is a human right and even the poorest can get a basic afterlife package
>The more expensive an afterlife packages, the more complex and/or realistic your afterlife is
That's all I am willing to go into. This is probably the one good idea I have ever came up with
I just want to add the actual story would follow 3 different individuals, each experiencing a different type of afterlife.
discover (with proof) that there is no afterlife
We did that a long time ago.
descends into a dark age of hedonism, nihilism and anarchy
We've done that multiple times.
a digital afterlife
Now we're getting somewhere. The awesome hedonistic party can continue past 65!
consists of working to gain enough money to afford a decent afterlife package
Legit dystopian cyberpunk setting.
is a human right and even the poorest can get a basic afterlife package
You fricked up. Why would a ruling corporation spend a dime on the penniless plebs. If they rule, why the welfare that directly hurts them? If the government can mandate this shit, they could likewise seek equality.
No, the big thing here is that the corporations that pull this (and there would be multiple) have CONVINCED people that it's actually them in the digital afterlife. That it's not a clone or a copy or "likeness". They've managed to fool idiots right back into religion and slaving away to pay their tithe.
You also kinda glossed over the massive fricking consequences of NEVER LOSING OLD PEOPLE. The movie stars never die and continue acting forever. Wealthy CEO execs NEVER give away their money because they're still around in digital form to go influence the world. You've got powerful dicks with social norms from three centuries ago funding congress. Frick, what does the political party look like when most the elected officials are digital and officially dead?
Unless this is all some ruse and the dead can't actually interact with the living anymore? In which case it's a massive ruse and the "digital afterlife" is just about as real as the judeo-christian myth. "Trust us, he's in the server and very happy. No you can't ask him how he's doing or any personally identifying information".
I don't want to go into details but most of your last point is pretty much explained in-universe. Besides my setting doesn't go for
>Le ultra greedy corporations
The corporations are scummy but it's more for control, rather than straight up profit.
>We did that a long time ago.
*tips*
I like it, a lot. But like the other anon said having an universal basic afterlife kind of takes away the pressure to pay for the premium ones, even if it is more realistic. Maybe you could have more drama if there were religious extremists trying to destroy the data centers or if it is found out the corps are having to erase past lifes to upload new ones. Again good work.
Uhhh your one good idea was already done by a relatively recent live action TV Show.(which is written & executed like garbage mind you, but still shares your idea). In the TV Show it feels like a gay sandbox RP chatroom rather than a serious adventure afterlife. There's a murder mystery plot, but it happens in the background, in the first and last episodes... kinda like most cartoon shows nowadays.
It felt more like a one-episode idea than a full show to me. I can't remember the show's name. Go ask Cinemaphile about this idea if you want to see what writing pitfalls to avoid.
I know of it. I made sure to look into the idea before developing it lol. My idea goes in completely different directions. Outside of the concept of a 'digital afterlife' our stories would share nothing in common. Besides that show did not invent the concept, it doesn't own the rights to the idea and no, I will never claim I invented the idea of a 'digital afterlife'. Just because something has been done before, doesn't mean you can't use the idea again and take it into a new direction! I will also not make it badly written :^)
Thanks anon! My idea for the basic package would be to make it so basic, it wouldn't be worth it. But I can see your point. I am still developing the idea every day, so things can change.
This is very similar to an idea I had.
You and everyone who came up with Tron, The Matrix, The Internet, cyber/digital worlds.
No, the specific concept of a digital afterlife. I don't want to say the name of my project though, as I don't want it tied back to my activities here. To the anon who had the idea, if you see something similar come out in a few years and become popular, know that I did not steal your idea but I had it before you posted it, and I am sorry.
Dude it's already been done.
This one will be animated! Kek
Hey industry moron. You're more primitive and incestuous than the video game and music industry and that's saying something. SUCK MY DICK, CAVEMAN.
A bunch of bunny clones on a research space station, carrying on with tasks even though the original creators/scientists are long gone. Most of them are more or less mindless drones, but a few have managed to gain a personality and try to exploit the system for their own profits/desires. Pretty much just dark humo with some over the topic comic violecne and coom bait.
I revised the bodies recently from short chibi to bigger ones seen here (after experimenting with chibi bodies it turns out them interacting with one another ain't so great when they cant reach each other without their heads crashing).
And what it was before. I might still use the older bodies for an AI or the like.
It's just a fricking hair-do, you need to learn to draw more than....
>bunny clones on a research space station
oh. Okay then.
And it'll only take you one guess which one of those pays spit.
People are tired of current events.
Potential, but I don't think you've put in any effort into it, so there's really nothing here. The show could be a means of conveying "how to start/run a business" ala a bunch of grunge slackers hilariously failing to get shit done.
>What would make the game dev process funny for tv?
The arc of "lofty goals, practical work, soul-crushing grind, and abandoning the original goal for better ones"
Heart and soul being poured into a thing that gets ignored vs a 2 hour shit-commit that actually gets them some fame.
The coder being the only one with any actual value. The others just kind of hovering around being "idea men" or "promoters". In the end, the coder's going to have to decide to grow up and get a real job and ditching the losers.
Losing the whole game dev because some stoner tripped over a cable.
Getting an intern. Abusing said intern. Learning that abusing an intern will in fact land you in jail.
The IRS and the definition of "business expense".
Show up to beg for a loan in grunge-wear and being laughed out of the banker's office.
Learning how to bullshit buzzwords to get a loan for an utterly shit idea.
Working hard on a project that you don't even own because everything is on loaned or already sold.
ACTUALLY art pays well if you're good at it so it's equal to being in science, tech or engineering.
You missed one
>when they cant reach each other without their heads crashing).
Kek. Tell that to Madness Accelerant, Bunny Kill and Bloody Bunny. You can just resize the head or body parts. All that time spent on building the Flash library and you came to the conclusion "yeah, I better just make them taller". But yes longer members make for better choreography spectacles than giant bobbleheads clashing against each other.
Good luck Mr.TWhy, but I keep telling you that you need a team if you want to do this because from how much I noticed you're not "one man army" material like those indie video game developers like Dean Dodrill and animators like Kyra Kupetsky.
It's not that I cant animate it myself, I just had really awful depression for the past 3 years. Things are getting much better now which is why i'm at it again (i've done 10 minute long animations by myself before too).
hope you feel better twhy, been a fan of your work in the past and will follow your work in the future 🙂
Thanks im trying <3
If and when you have an idea that you want to pitch to the masses: Which network would you be pitching it to and why?
The designs were fine until I saw the Calarts expressions on the right
The chances of my dream becoming a reality is nil but I'll throw my idea out there just for the frick of it so here it is:
>A teenager with a bad attitude discovers a piece of alien technology that lives inside of her that grants her superpowers but she has to be careful of using it for each time that she uses it, it becomes harder and harder to keep the alien in check
>She has to juggle with using her new powers and living a normal life
>She eventually learns about giving a shit about people and not being such a massive c**t to everyone
Having a lovable butthole protagonist as a hero is a nice change of pace!
Cartoons about Cinemaphileners!
I love all of your souls!
It’s not about Cinemaphile
But there is something special about all the people who come here!
Didn’t really register the child being locked in as child abuse, I guess I can see how it’d be viewed that way. Also don’t know why you’re against the “driving to different continents idea” lol. Keep in mind this isn’t meant to be a legitimate drama, it’s more of a light hearted silly affair.
its obvious you work in the industry weith your attitude, so im curious what shows have you worked on before ? and what tips do you have when it comes to pitching to a network?
no such thing as an outdated idea, people get outdated not ideas
>Eh, family/business/fantasy? Tries to do too much.
That is an extremely simple premise.
It's just a normal Slice of Life set in a fantasy setting.
It's basically what shows like Adventure Time or Steven Universe were in their early seasons
>a few years ago we all laughed at the zoomers posting their pitches on twitter
Link?
A smuggler in space that travels from system to system alongside his small crew, making dangerous deliveries of drugs, weapons, illegally-traveling aliens, and more across the stars in exchange for money. All the while they try to avoid getting caught by the local or system-wide governments. Episodic with one or two episodes at a time dedicated to a specific delivery, and maybe an arc or two for personal character side-stories.
Ok, so before this thread is kaput, I might as well plug my still born character design project. I'm attempting to redesign these characters to be more simpler and figure out what I wanna do with them :
Rev RockIt is an android with a rocket on his head and engine hover shoes. He dreams of being the fastest robot in the Acceleron galaxy. Alongside his partner Bella Copter, & their pet Bloop "The Dog", work for Galactic Gophers, a freelancer courier business. One day on an ordinary job, they discover a crate that contains a busted up old guardian sphinx that Rev names Franky. Franky is the key to uncovering a great treasure, but his memory is as fragmented as his jokes are lousy. So the gang hops from planet to planet, looking for clues, finding work, getting into trouble and staying one step ahead of space pirate Captain Abyss.
RevRad is the name of the radio station they like to listen to
>mine didnt get rated.
oh well maybe next thread
Which one was it? I’ll rate it.
Neither was mine, anon.
>By day, it's a children's cartoon studio where your favorite cartoon characters act out many episodes that are beloved by many. At night, however, the bright colors of the day begin to fade to shades of greys and black. The happy-go-lucky masks of the cartoon stars slip off for the night as they let off steam by partaking in the many vices that tempt them during work hours or complaining about working woes such as that one kid in test audience who just wouldn't shut up. It's a pretty good deal for them, up until a human voice actor is found murdered in the studio. The toons take it upon themselves investigate to find out who killer is. What they discover could go deeper than even their monotone underworld they call home.
Or at least that's my idea anyway. It's sort of inspired by how Cartoon Network shifts to adult swim every night.
Male members are still in the works and factions are in the works.
A bit episodic with catching a bounty per week and reoccurring baddies.

Working Title: Two Weiners
A teenage girl with an edgy and rebellious attitude towards her pushy religious family joins a ton of demonic cults just to stick it to them. She regularly performs black magic rituals she learned online to dedicate her flesh to whatever demon names she could find on the internet. This becomes a routine for her to try and push her family away.
After a few years of this, she's hit by a car and dies. By some strange luck, one of her rituals actually happened to work. Two, actually. Out of the hundreds she had done over the years, by sheer coincidence, her comedically corny black magic rituals actually landed her into contracts with two separate demons with comedically conflicting personalities. One very prideful and talented, the other incompetent and lackadaisical. Having dedicated her body to them, these two members of Satan's dark army attempt to possess the same teenaged girl's dead body just after her passing.
On a mission to subvert humanity and destroy it from the inside to bolster the ranks of Hell, the demons have to struggle with the two of them marionetting the same body at the same time, trying to remain a convincing teenage girl to thwart suspicion while murdering criminals and otherwise evil people whose souls are most likely to be sent downward. More conflict arises when the teenage girl's personality begins creeping its way back and further interfering with her possessors' plans.
In my head it's kind of a mix between Weekend at Bernie's, CatDog, Jennifer's Body and some kind of anti-hero capeshit. Reading all that over again, the premise sounds a little on the darker and serious side but I imagine it more like a dark comedy overall.
During a field trip, a ragtag group of delinquents split off from their class to cause mayhem. Through anarchic means these big bads end up in the beetle ward of the local zoology insect section.
Little do they know, that these bugs are back here for a reason and after letting them all out they HAVE to get them all back before a horrible curse plagues the town.
Working Title: Bug Chasers
A giant monster beating up other giant monsters
I would watch.
You would watch.
Something along the lines of Digimon/Kaijoudo where a group of kids find a magical parallel world and befriend evolving monsters. The main kid would have have a shitty home life and would throw himself into learning how to evolve his monster partner to their maximum potential and saving the monster world. He would just come off as your typical hardworking shonen protagonist at first, but later arcs would explore how his obsession has become a coping mechanism. Despite great personal loss, his single mindedness is what ends up saving both worlds at the end.
Also at some point they'd get transforming robot vehicles cause I miss when cartoons shilled toys instead of ideologies.
A fisherman who fights see monsters and also goes fishing.
He’s also inexplicably a fricking bishie despite his lifestyle
I genuinely want to share my ideas but I've seen so many ideas from anons get co-opted by gays, with the biggest offender being redditors sharing greentexts for upvotes.
I'd rather die with my secrets never see the light than gays using them to make something bland and insipid.
Just do a decoy idea then.
An intelligent but disillusioned policeman is retiring early from the force, feeling powerless to truly do anything about the crime wave that plagues his city. One day as he is walking home, he finds his neighbor (whom he hates) dead drunk on the lawn. Impulsively, he decides to steal his keys and wallet and hide it from him. It is at this point that he discovers he in fact has superpowers, and that they are directly tied to his committing crime.
With his new powers, the man can finally clean up the city like he's always wanted, but he has to commit crimes himself to keep them active. He un-retires to keep the police off his back, and adopts a double identity for his heroic deeds; as he begins taking on bigger and bigger baddies, he adopts a triple identity as a supervillain to cover his crimes.
Slowly, as both his heroic and criminal reputations rise, the criminals of the city beseech his villain persona for protection, and he struggles to balance his criminal enterprise with his hero duties. The matter complicates further as he is put in charge of investigating himself at the police station.
Racing cartoon. Protag is a young hick kid that wants to make it big to represent his shanty town in the intergalactic races. Loses alot but has the heart to never give up and he also makes some friends along the way. That's about it.
Bro those aren't pitches. And what's with the "They don't die at the end" part?
Probably in fear of the "bury your gays" trope.
