UPDATE 6: Crowdfunding Trailer has been released!!!!
We have just released the crowdfunding trailer and have reached $1000 on the first day! Please share this around if you can!
Blaze the Cat, Princess of the Sol Dimension and guardian of the Sol Emeralds.
Starfire, Princess of Tamaran, and co-founder and heart of the Teen Titans.
While most princesses bear the mantle of demure politicians, some fiery sorts like to take a more hands-on approach in defending their realms, like these two purple friendship-lovers from another world!
In this animation we will analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a (LEGALLY DISTINCT) BATTLE TO THE DEATH!
Our Animation department is spearheaded by LuckoDaStars!

I'm really excited to have this talent aboard! Full speed ahead!!!

We finished the storyboards and animatic! Now comes the fun part: putting everything together for the animation!
So, getting sprites for Blaze was pretty easy. Starfire... is gonna require a few custom assets.... okay, A LOT of custom assets, but we knew this going in.
As soon as we have completed assets, animation will commence!
All VA's have finished recording their lines! We've layered their voices and sound effects in time! We've constructed a moodboard using scenes from other media as placeholders until the storyboards get finished, so, looks like the fight (sans analysis segments) will be a little over 5 minutes long!
We still have a ways to go, but we're really excited!
Firstly, I just want to thank you all for auditioning! I was honestly AGONIZING over selecting our VA's for the past two days because I really didn't want to say no to auditions that were this level of quality!
But I had to choose in the end, so let's congratulate our cast!

Teen Starfire: vanillacrescentx

The auditions are closed! Thank you all so much, we had some really good talent!

VOICE TYPE: Female (Adult)
AGE RANGE: Young Adult. 20-ish.
ROLE: Main Character
OFFICIAL VOICE EXAMPLE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79RPBgmNjv4
VOICE GUIDANCE: The voice should aim to replicate the more adult Starfire from DC animated movies. While she still retains that optimistic, airy, and bright tone signature of the character from the CN show, this Starfire has several years of experience under her belt fighting off multiverse-level threats.
CHARACTER GUIDANCE: Kori is bright-eyed, curious, and compassionate. When it comes to something she is passionate about, she gets very excitable. While she does have naïve tendencies, she is a committed and fierce protector of her new home and friends.

AGE RANGE: Young Adult. 16 to 18.
ROLE: Main Character
OFFICIAL VOICE EXAMPLE: https://youtu.be/V2NMCZkFbVo?t=308
VOICE GUIDANCE: Blaze tends to speak very levelly and formally in conversations with peers, holding her cards close to the chest. However, in anticipation of the heat of battle she often showcases aggressiveness and cockiness, and relishes the idea of laying a smackdown on someone who crosses her.
CHARACTER GUIDANCE: Blaze is quite stoic and often acts as a mentoring older sister to other characters. She takes her duties as guardian very seriously and is very much laser-focused on her goals.

AMUSED: “I was a bit aggressive with Sonic when we first met. Not one of my proudest moments *laughs*.”
CONFIDENT: "Hm. It seems you like to play with fire. How about I light up your fingers, then?"

VOICE GUIDANCE: This version of Starfire can sometimes sound lilting and airy. There should always be an undertone of optimism and sweetness.
CHARACTER GUIDANCE: This version of Starfire is very cheerful and sweet, yet somewhat naïve and considerably insecure, but her naivety should not be mistaken for stupidity. She takes friendship very seriously and is easily distressed when others, especially her friends, argue or fight.

DETERMINED: "You may not value my life, but I still value yours!"

VOICE TYPE: Male
AGE RANGE: Teenager/Young Adult, 16-18
ROLE: Cameo
OFFICIAL VOICE EXAMPLE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQJv3CddjJE
VOICE GUIDANCE: Cocky yet calm. Seasoned with years of adventure yet still very empathetic. It's okay to emulate Ryan Drummond, Jason Griffith, or Roger Craig Smith.
CHARACTER GUIDANCE: Sonic values his friends deeply, but so often things go well for him that he has a passive confidence that things will work out.

SLIGHTLY EXASPERATED: "What I wouldn't give to have Blaze's help right about now."
