The Horror of Our Love -supernatural historical horror kinetic/visual novel- ARTIST NEEDED

Project Overview

I am working on an a comic and audio-story that takes place in the Edwardian era/1905 in Oklahoma, America..


Currently, I am not promising any money for this project, but I do hope that I will be able to. But as I do not know what the future holds, I will not say any prices.



Also, NO ONE NEEDS TO FAKE AN ACCENT. I know I put the accents in, but you honestly do not need to have any of the assign accents. Besides, I don't want to have only some people faking an accent and some without if not everyone can do it. Using your natural accent, even if it's not close to the characters is alright, but if you can do a convincing accent for the appropriate character, feel free to.

All I can say is to at least have a decent mic and avoid too much background noise when it comes to the actual project (I don't mind some shuffling/animal or traffic noise for the audition, though),

Feel free to audition for more than one character, it helps gives both of us options and lets me see your range.


Synopsis (forgive how this is  crappily written, please):

“Wakonda Faithful tries to live a simple and quiet life, just making by whilst living in her female-only boarding home. That is until she is viciously stalked by a lovestruck serial killer that has been at large in her town for a while and seems intent on making her his, dedicating some of his murders to Wakonda and leaving eerie gifts. One night, he decides to take her for himself, revealing to be the local surgeon, Dr. Aave. However, Wakonda is the one to take him by surprise.”



I do want to warn that there are a good amount of adult and sexual themes, as I know some people may feel uncomfortable with that. The story in whole is not an erotica, but there is a sex scene or two. Due to the sensitive content:

ONLY PEOPLE 18 OR OLDER AUDITION PLEASE.



Thank you all so much and I look forward to what you all have to show!

Latest Updates

  • Final Casting Decisions Wave 2

    I have officially casted all voiced roles and will still be keeping the roles for Artist and Composer open until the end of April. I would like to thank everyone for auditioning, you were all brilliant and some of these were tough choices. And to those who did not get casted in this project, keep going at it! I have many more projects open and there's plenty of others on this site. Stay amazing and I hope to hear some of you against in the future.
  • Final Casting Decisions Wave 1

    I will be making final casting decisions for all non-voice acting roles and for Rose and Wakonda this week (by April 5th). All other minor roles shall be casted as I'm finishing the script (so that the actor's lines are ready when they are casted) and by the end of April. Even though I will be casting people for this already, I shall still be keeping non-voice acting roles, such as composer and artist, open until the end of April as well, in case anyone else takes interest and I'd like to invite/cast them to join the team. If you auditioned for multiple characters and receive a rejection on one role, this does not mean I have rejected you altogether. If you do not receive an offer by April 5th for one of the aforementioned roles, this does not mean you are being rejected either, you will know if someone else got role when you receive a rejection and someone else shows up as casted. I will make an announcement once ALL roles have been officially casted.
  • Official Deadline

    So I have been thinking that I am almost ready and want to start closing auditions for this project and making final casting call decisions either by the end of March or the end of April.

I will need an artist to help with drawing scenes, including characters, though I might be able to do this myself, it would be nice to at least have a team. Since it takes place in the late 1800s to early 1900s, most of the outfits will be from Edwardian era, so you'll have to able to draw clothing like that. 

Though there is sexual content in the story, you will not need to draw anything of a sexually graphic nature (not even cleavage is necessary - the closest to anything lewd would be a burlesque scene, but there's still nothing explicit). There is a few violent/gorey scenes, but if you are really uncomfortable with that, I do not mind drawing them myself.

I will be needing a total of 15 different CG's, but I will be providing all the references needed (almost like storyboards) and do not mind splitting the work.

The goal is to get this done by July 31, 2020 but this can be post poned due to the short notice of the project.

Role assigned to: LordKoki

AzJarl is the biological father of Wakonda, though he wasn't able to be apart of her childhood due to him being a demon and her mother being a human. AzJarl deeply loves and cares for his child and is more or less the legal guardian of Wakonda's daughter, Levana, alongside his domestic partner, Ziv.

He met his current partner in the military, so he knows how to be "tough and scary" when need to be and tends to not really be a pushover. However, AzJarl is actually a huge softie and sweetheart, lovingly doting over his family and his romantic partners.

AzJarl looks like your typical demon with red skin, ram horns, tail, and a faun shaped body (so hooves). However, I'm not expecting anyone to play him up as "demon sounding," he can just talk like a normal person. He can also have any accent.

  • "Of course I can't help but worry about her..."

  • "It's OK, Levana, sweetie. I'm sure your mama is just fine and will come to visit you very soon."

  • "And just who the hell are you?"

The story takes place in the Edwardian Era (very early 1900s but pre 1910) and in Oklahoma, America. So music that fits that era would be preferred. 

Also, it is technically horror, so a gothic air to it would also be nice every once in a while.

Ziv is the step-father of Wakonda and a demon. Alongside his domestic partner, AzJarl, whom is the biological father of Wakonda, he is more or less the legal guardian of Wakonda's daughter, Levana.

He met his  partner in the military and tends to be the cool and mysterious type. He loves and cares for AzJarl and his step family very much in his own way.

Ziv looks like your typical demon with red skin, horns, and tail. However, I'm not expecting anyone to play him up as "demon sounding," he can just talk like a normal person. He can also have any accent.

  • "You worrying about Wakonda?"

  • "It's as Papa Az says. I'm sure she'll show up any day now."

  • "Shouldn't we be the ones asking you?"

Role assigned to: Amanda Gilliam

EXODUS is a demon from Wakonda's past in quite a literal way. 

She takes many different forms in regards to age, but she likes to take that of a child in attempts to either mess with people or lull them into a false sense of security. She almost always has blonde hair and green eyes and a human female form.

On top of being a demon Wakonda made a deal with a long time ago, the two also became a couple at some point before EXODUS abruptly broke things off. 

She still likes to pop back into Wakonda's life every now and then to get her kicks.


  • "Maybe you're just going mad."

  • "I am NOT a ghost. You say that one more time, and I will guarantee you a real haunting from a real ghost."

  • "What's happening in your life now, my darling Wakonda."

(preferably an American accent, though I won't be picky in which kind, but you can change my mind)

Rose is a rather free spirited soul that lives in the same boarding house as Wakonda. She can be rather snide and sassy with a lewd sense of humor, but she's very kind and tender to those she cares about.

Wakonda had been severely crushing on her for a good amount of time without Rose ever knowing. At the start of our story, Rose tells Wakonda that she's finally getting out of the boarding house because she is getting married.

I tend to imagine her having a laidback sound and to even have like a rasp/smoky voice (especially since Rose does smoke).

  • "Wakonda, I have joyous news!"

    "I am getting out of here finally."

  • "Teagan proposed to me....and I said yes!"

    "Thank you for always being such a good friend to me. If anything is painstaking about leaving, it's because I will miss you."

  • "Another one of those letters? Have you told the cops yet? I mean, aren't you friends with that deputy or something? Surely you've told him."

    "Hey, if you're really scared, you can sleep in my bed tonight."

(Oklahoma accent, not Texan)

Wakonda Faithful is a rather reserved girl with strange hair and a big secret. She's lived in Oklahoma her entire life and is trying to live as normally as possible.

Because of past trauma, she has a daughter, Levana, whom she loves dearly though she has asked her father and his partner to be Levana's legal guardians since she is single and wants the child to grow up free of judgments. She lives in a female-only boarding home and works in order to support herself and help provide for her daughter.

She tends to sound very sweet and gentle, though she can be rather hyper and energetic at times.

Her name is from her Native American/Omaha ancestry.

Aave is pronounced like A-vay / ah-vay /or even a~a-vey. Think sort of like "Ave Maria."

  • ""Please," I began to plea inside my own head, despite knowing Aave was not a mind reader, "please don't hurt me. Please, make me feel safe.""

  • (nervously but trying to be polite) "Th-thank you, Aave. I really appreciate it...who was on the phone?."

  • (reminiscing/regret to anger) "Levana must think that her mother has completely abandoned her now. I wasn’t able to afford keeping her with me, but I promised to always visit. But I didn’t show up. I just wanted to see my daughter one last time. I just wanted to hold Levana in my arms and let her know that I never hated her and that she was always in my thoughts. That her mother loved her with all of her being and never regretted bringing her into this world. The pain was all worth it to see her beautiful and smiling face. Now, she can’t even see my corpse. And it’s all because of you. Both of you."

Aave is an immortal that currently resides in America and recently began living as a serial killer in private whilst being a surgeon to the public.

  • (sickeningly flirty) “Well hello there, sweet precious."

    "At last, I can make you mine!"

  • (annoyed) "Nothing YOU need to be concerned about."

    (trying to make someone else jealous) "Calm down. She's alright. In fact, she's MORE than alright. Mmm. The way she so willingly gave herself to me last night, and how good she was, you'd forget she's practically a virgin."

  • (endearingly) "Hope you're hungry~ It's good for you to eat to be healthy and strong, Little Missy. You're gonna need to be for the fun before us. Our future together."

    "Of course, whatever makes you comfortable, my love."

charismatic, slightly mysterious air, and knows more than he pretends to

Dunkelheit is an immortal that currently resides in America and  became a cop and deputy. He is enamored with Wakonda and has been trying to court her for some time. He knows Aave and what he is doing, but the two of them have a sort of agreement.

Technically, this character has been used in another project and has a voice actor if you want to hear an idea of what I'd be looking for should he chose to not reprise his role: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYW10H24HyY&list=PLjx7skmEzmh6HwTaW3ivwRlNQerQH_IFQ&index=13&t=0s

  • (seemingly concerned/gentlemanly) “Please, allow me to walk you home. It is not safe these days for someone as fair as you to wander about."

  • (almost flirty) "Well then, perhaps it can be a date. *upon noticing her expressionI* Of course I am just kidding. Have a good night, mein Haustier."

  • (angry/frustrated) "She was MINE, Aave! I had her! Why did you have to do this?!"
