Short Character Animatic (a series about a haunted slaughterhouse)
Project Overview
These characters are part of a series I'm developing called Shambles. It's about a slaughterhouse haunted by the souls of the animals, although the premise might seem grim, the series is light hearted and comedic
Featuring a slack-off pig, a sadistic cow, and an overworked and underpaid employee as the main 3.

Viktor is an employee of a haunted slaughterhouse. He's an anxious mess most of the time, timid and overworked. Not to mention the constant torment from the ghosts leaves him constantly on edge.
He stutters when nervous, voice cracks can work too. Although I don't mind much with the accent, he is also Polish.

Viktor: “ah! Hey- hey listen man, I don’t want trouble- you gotta understand! Hey!”
Viktor is pushed against the wall, maybe Chris steals his butchers hat
Chris: “listen up, stringbean, you humans are idiots. You’re dumb- greedy- easily distracted monkeys; and even then you somehow find a way to be even worse than that. You lanky son of a-"
Bessie: “Chris?”
Bessie rounds a corner, her figure blacked out by the lighting
Chris’s eyes widen and his head turn to face Bessie
Chris: “Heyyyy Bessie! I was just talking to Viktor abou-"
Bessie: “for the love of God, Chris, give me that.
She snatches the hat back.“and do me a solid and give the human some space, here-“
she hands a couple of coins to Chris
“go down to that bakery you like so much, get yourself something nice, clearly you’ve earned it. (Sarcasm)”
she raises an eye brow at him, we see Chris’s eyes go all wide and sparkly for a moment before returning to disgruntledness at Viktor
Chris: “ Yeah fine whatever.” he huffs “but Ive got my eye on you, Vincent.”
he glances back at Viktor, huffing at him through his nostrils before handing the hat back to Bessie while still keeping his eyes on him, Bessie with her hand out and her eyes on Chris expectantly.
Viktor: “uh,…actually it’s viktor.”
Voice squeaky and apprehensive, raising a finger
Chris walks away, grumbling under his breath
Viktor: “oh jeez- th-ank you, Bessie…” (relief)
Bessie: Her tone changes to smooth and suave “ohhhh…think nothing off it. Besides…I’m not one to want to share my playthings.”
she tosses his hat back to him
Viktor: “no no, really! Thank yo- wait. You’re what?”
cut to Bessie rolling her eyes and smirking before we see her form start to distort
Chris is the ghost of a pig. Although he has a human form which he takes most of the time.
He is gruff and short-tempered. He's very large and intimidating, despite his tendency to laze around and slack off.
Although he appears nonchalant, he's actually a bit of a softie (although he'll never show it) he cares deeply towards Bessie.
His voice is gruff and deep. Speaking with a slight drawl when bored or sarcastic.

Bessie is the ghost of a cow. Although for the majority of the time she takes on a human form.
Bessie is one of the main characters of Shambles. She is confident and takes the lead of the group.
She enjoys teasing and tormenting Viktor, an employee for the slaughterhouse. Taking on demonic forms to scare him which she gets enjoyment out of.
She is cool and sarcastic, her voice on the mid to lower range of a female voice. She doesn't let her emotions get the better of her and is generally very level headed and calculated.
She often uses her charm to get her own way, especially with the guys.
