Hi! I'm working on a fantasy based animation project, working title right now is "A Wizard's Best Friend". this is just a little short I'm making for fun while learning Blender, you can find some samples of my work here:

The premise is super simple:
a Wizard who's dungeon has been repeatedly raided by pesky adventurers, orders a Make-A-Mimic kit to take care of the problem once and for all.

Very light hearted and campy fantasy.

Goblin Infomercial Salesman

Unpaid
Role assigned to: Rock Erekson

The Goblin easily has the most lines in the short, basically the star of an infomercial selling "Make-A-Mimic" kits. Attached concept art is just two possible variations, will change the look of the 3D Model depending on what the final voice of the character is.
Very open to actor interpretation but here are the three voices I've had most in mind when making this (feel free to pick one or somehow mix any of them)

1. The "Wacky Inflatable Arms Salesman" from Family Guy
2. Milton Berle's Used Car Salesman from The Muppet Movie
3. Danny Devito

  • "Order by Raven now and get your Make-A-Mimic kit spell for this GUARANTEED low price while supplies last!"

Role assigned to: Reed Denney

The Knight is featured a lot in this but has no spoken lines, very Link from Legend of Zelda coded, you'll probably be the last to record your lines as a lot of it will be recorded to match the animation.

  • male adult
  • "Hmmm, oh?" (Looking around a dungeon)

  • *Screams/Noises made while being eaten by a mimic*

  • HYA! HYA! (Riding a horse)

Role assigned to: BEEk

Can be any gender, and even open to different accents if you'd like to try, ideally just wanting a very straightforward no accent weather-reporter voice (the kind you'd see standing in front of a green screen map, very calm and collected, clear spoken), but if you have a great dwarf or elvish voice you think would be funny for this, give it a shot!

Also: This is the character's only line so you might not even have to re-record if you get the part.
