Ethantendo: Star Venture (A Super Mario Galaxy inspired fan series)

Project Overview

What is Ethantendo: Star Venture?

Ethantendo: Star Venture is a fully animated episodic fan project based on the Super Mario Galaxy games. This project has been something I have been wanting to do for almost 8 years.

The Premise:

When the smog pollutes the galaxy, Star Road called help for some unlikely heroes, Capt. Enzo and his brother Tony, together they gather allies to save the Galaxy from pollution alongside the mother of the stars and the protector of the cosmos, Rosalina. Our heroes travel across the starry sky to get to the core of the smog generator and take down whoever is behind it.

THIS IS GONNA BE AN UNPAID PROJECT (For obvious reasons)

EXPECTATIONS:

  • Soundtrack: High quality orchestral style. (something like Mario Galaxy soundtrack)

  • Script Writing: Well written. (there will be a consultant that'll give you feedback)

  • 2D Artwork: strikingly similar to Shigehisa Nakaue's 2D Mario artwork.

  • 3D Artwork: In the style of Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope's render style.

  • Animation: Expressive and well done. We're looking for smooth animation or a Spider-Verse-esque style.

Anyone who can do multiple jobs that are needed for this project are also welcome to apply!

WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYONE WHO USES GENERATIVE A.I.

THIS IS A NON-PROFIT FAN PROJECT. WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH NINTENDO.

DISCORD ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED!

The Smogrin King


This polluted ruler has a general attitude, but he’s personality are rather unpredictable and temperamental.

He is the king/leader of the Smogrins, he doesn’t take too kindly to criticism or when things don’t go his way and tends to be violent towards his enemies. His main goal is to defeat Capt. Enzo and his team, rule the galaxy, and pollute it to his liking.


Age: Late 50s


This is an example of what the character sounds like


(Though, I don't think he'd mention Capt. Enzo's name at any moment. He'd just call him a degrading name I think)
