PROJECT SUMMARY:
A tale encircling the fear of humanity, mortality, and the unknown. A group of individuals are the sole survivors of a great disaster that occurred within mere moments of the past. The extinction of the human race brought permanent abandonment, isolation, and fear. Now residing in the decaying ghost town Witherhill, they discover it stores the true secret to keeping humanity alive. However… within the withered chambers lies something much more sinister hiding in plain sight. Forced to band together, the Roselinqs wield amulets of unmatched power as they must work together to uncover the dark prophecy. Our survivors must preserve what is left of Everfall and prepare for a new beginning to arise; If they are not careful, their last chance to restore their world will slip away from the grasp of their fingertips. Time is running out, as the garden awaits their beck and call…
Roses Beneath is a dark fantasy psychological thriller series, told within several mediums of art. It is a drama including the format of animatics, sprites, artistic cutscenes, and uniquely tragic visuals.

Austropae (He/They) is a lead character of Roses Beneath, known as the Guardian of Astrology. He is a hardworking, yet admittingly overworked researcher deeply fascinated by the stars out of reach. He’s spent all of his time researching all of the inner corners of what this world has to offer, so why not shoot for the untouchable?
He buries his feelings underneath the scattered piles of spells and letters they’ve tossed around. It’ll be tough to crack him fully, but he doesn’t shy away from helping his peers in need. He’s blunt, but an informative and focused witch wielding great power. He may keep his distance to prevent feeling too attached (as to his past), so stay wary.
AUS-TRO-PAY FOR PRONOUNCIATION.
VOICE SPECIFICATIONS:
Low range highly recommended, medium okay. Gruff, blunt, very noticeably tired voice. Voice of a man sounding roughly in his mid 30’s. A voice reminiscent of Jeremy Brett’s Sherlock Holmes or something similar RANGE-WISE. Argentinian/Ripolatense accent recommended but not required.
- english
- animation/character

- male adult

This position is for artists! We are specifically looking for illustrators, Character Artists and Concept Artists to help create key artwork for the series (promotional artwork, renders, character artwork, key art, and scenes)! These artists can also help us make important decisions for Character's designs, outfits, and finalize details! They can also conceptualize ideas for later on down the line with the series!

Storyboarders or Animatic Artists will be in charge of creating the baseline storyboards for the animated scenes in Roses Beneath! They will map out the rough visuals to follow along for the animators and director+editor to follow along when putting the episode together! We recommend you follow a 6 panel per page by script format.
They can also create rough (or even clean if in ability) animatics for the larger scenes, but these can also be used for standard scenes with specific visual choices of monochromatic backgrounds / colors! Great examples of this can be found with animatics of Epic: The Musical, DSMP (Just an example), and other various animatics on Youtube!
Storyboards can be started via traditional if wanted, but highly recommend if you finalize with digital.
Please provide your best examples of this! Please also attach your Discord username for me to contact you by!

The rough animators will be in charge of taking the storyboards or animatics for larger scenes and begin the animation process for Roses Beneath! They will be essentially placing down the idea for movement, character expressions, and setting up the look for what's on screen. These people don't have to fully clean up their animations yet!
You will be assigned to:
-Create rough animation based on Storyboards
-Follow Director and Storyboard Lead/Artists Ideas
Important Notes:
24FPS Animation
Highly recommend digital, but we are willing to experiment with traditional if it can translate well! Most of ones recruited already have experience with Adobe Animate, but you are free to work with any program you'd like as long as it is convenient for you!
Please provide any of your best work or portfolio! Please also attach your Discord username for me to contact you by!

You will be assigned to:
-Clean up rough-animation with clean lineart and form
-Follow director, storyboard artists, and rough-animators based on previous notes if needed
-Color scenes
-Not required, but would be great if you knew a thing or two about making the scene pop out.
