What/Who is Ragdoll Gallery?
Ragdoll Gallery is a team full of creative minds. Members of Ragdoll Gallery make scripts for animated projects, provide OC Art(Original Character), Concept Images, Music for our projects and others, and more! We are currently attempting to add a few extra members to the team for our upcoming series (which was once called "The Eyes"), Vesnans!
What is Vesnans About?
very brief explanation
Vesnans takes place in the present time, on a planet called Hedairis. Planet Hedairis has a few "special" things. Fauna, Vesna, random creatures, pronounced deities, and more.
The story takes on a span of a few years where a few main characters discover their world while attempting to protect it.
The story has LGTBQ+ Themes, mental health awareness/ issues, horror, some violence, heavy topics of death and fear of death, anxiety among the protagonists, and more of the sensitive sorts. Series is advised for 16+.
Do not worry, the series is not all dark and gloomy! There will be tons of funny and humorous scenes that will be sure to cheer you up!

The story of Vesnans has changed ALOT since 2020! In 2021, we officially decided to record the series as a machinima in The Sims 4, but sadly had to cancel due to problems with the game itself.
Why does RG Need More Members?
Since all of our projects are officially being recorded and animated in animation software, we would like some extra hands! Yes, we do have the skills like Modeling, Animating, Texturing, and more, but since the team only has around 4-6 members, things are running very slowly! Some members also have school which also is a leading factor. Plus, the more minds, the better!
When we pitch in ideas for projects and characters, everyone gets a say in their thoughts and opinions. Once we all pitch in, we can vote and come to a conclusion that we all think will best fit the current project!
What skills are RG looking For?
We are mainly looking for people who aren't afraid to pitch in ideas, no matter the circumstances! Also, we would love to make some new friends along the way!!
Our spots are-
Artists/Modeling- Artists sketch ideas and character references so the modeler(s) can make them in the modeling software! Modelers model out the references and make the Characters come to life!
Animators- We currently only have one animator so any other unique and creative minds will be really useful! We focus on 3D animations!!
Writers- Most of the writers fine proof and fix typos in the scripts! Core writers would be helpful to quickly finish and make efficient scripts!
Music Producers- We would love for all of our projects to have a unique Soundtrack or OST! We currently only have 1 Music Producer so more will be helpful! (This group will currently be doing the least amount of work since we are still going through the storyboarding and world-building phase)
Advisors- Advisors mainly pitch in ideas or make changes to near-final objects and things like music and/or scripts!
These are the core skills we need! If anyone has any other ideas, then please pitch in!
Animated Series Cost Money. How will you guys Pay?
Xono plans on paying everyone once we get the core assets done and once our first project has around a total of 4 episodes released(or maybe when the Volume Ends. Mainly Depending on the situation at the current moment)! The majority of the members in Ragdoll Gallery are Teenagers, ranging from 16-19yr old who have a part-time job or freelance/ doesn't have a high-paying job or no job at all!
All animated series will be posted on YouTube as a starting point! If they make revenue, all of it will be split between members of RG that helped and corresponded with the project!
If any of our series fails to gain revenue, then payment will still be given, just at a slower rate!
As said in past Castings and a previous discord server, things can take a turn, and production can slow down for a set period of time. This is a factor with most small teams since in some cases, we will not have enough assets to continue! Once assets are acquired, production will resume! We may also stop/slow down production if the team is feeling overworked or stressed out! We do not want anyone in Ragdoll Gallery feeling stressed out! If you are, please let Xono or any of the other members know!!
Additional Info
We will be accepting multiple people per category! If you are a determined person, friendly, and just an overall good person with decent skills, then you'll most likely be accepted!
When auditioning, please enter 1-2 of your works/examples, and please leave your discord handle! If accepted, you will be invited to our discord.
We are not taking in voice actors since none of the necessities are completed! There will be another casting call (later this year or early next) when we are ready to start casting voice actors! There will be teasers on our YouTube, so if you're interested, keep a lookout for those!
If you ever feel like leaving the team, then please state in advance before exiting! Leaving will lead to no access to production. You will still be noted in credits! (If you contributed to the Project)
Musician Roles: Our project, Vesnans, has many different musical elements including cultural themes. It may sound scary to make soundtracks with elements you've never experimented with before, but that's the fun in it! No one is going to be perfect at trying something new, and that's 100% okay! This project will be a learning process for all of us
Terms
Please do not steal assets or use paid assets! If I (Xono) do not have permission to use it (or anyone in Ragdoll Gallery), please do not present it!
Please do not troll or harm any of our projects! That is very immature and hurtful! Doing so will lead to a ban and block.
Please do not do anything that deals with/contain copyright! If it's not ours or wasn't given to us, then don't use it!
In general, please be respectful and treat us all alike!! Just be a decent human being!

Please do not be afraid to ask any questions! We are always willing to help anyone out :)

Updates From Last Casting
Thank you to everyone who took interest in RG. Some were accepted while others were not. In this re-opening, everyone should/could get another chance to join.
Before submitting your audition, please make sure that you can cooperate and fully explain the causes and reasoning for inactivity. Some current members of RG have been removed and/or have left the team because some members fail to cooperate with the rest of us. Ragdoll Gallery is a team all about Cooperation and Team Work. Our final projects can only be made with everyone's help and ideas. Without that, we'll be at a stall and no work will be done. Also, please be able to work with different Time Zones. Some of us in RG live in completely different areas. Due to this, I (Xono) have been comparing the time zones between groups so we can find a comfortable time for us all to work in.
