The Obsidian Archives : Badlands Saga
Project Overview
The Obsidian Archives
Greetings curator. I am Samuel Wilkinson. Welcome to the Obsidian Archives. This is an Animatic / Audio Drama, about the birth of an evil empire and the secrets they keep between the texts of their tomes. We are at a point in development where we can open roles to the public to help this indie story project come alive. If you want an easier time understanding this project, I recommend you take a look at our Pitch Bible & YouTube Channel.

What is it about?
Effectively this is a dark high fantasy following a down trodden Prince and his Imp colleague. They go through the trials and tribulations of Kingdom making amongst a divided people and the atrocities that come with it. Effectively a tale of betrayal and vengeance; with a hint of sarcasm.
Voice Roles Wanted!
Currently we are now working on The Desert Arc, semi-related to the Mexican Revolution.
What we will need is people capable of creating either
Latin American Generals
Pompous Nobility
Snake People
The formats should be uploaded as WAV and 48khz or higher. Processing is optional.
*Rates are to be negotiated between the VA and Director. Any prices written on the roles are not final but very rough estimates. Icons are just used to cover archetypes and are not final character designs.
Artists
So this is one of the most important roles for the production. There are two kinds of artist roles.
Animatic Slide Artists will create rough black and white grayscale images in bulk. The work will be delivered in PSD format so the director can color in the work to maximize quality. The rates are to be negotiated.
Emblem / Painting Artists are tasked with creating grandiose paintings that signify turning points within the history of Obsidia capturing the holy biblical scale of the events that unfold.
What to expect?
Once selected you will be greeted by myself in discord and interviewed on job brief and price negotiations. You will also be invited to the project discord to meet other people working on the project.
Deadlines are lax but there might be moments in production where the director may check up on you and see progress.

Latest Updates
-
I see a lot of great auditions for Lancelot, but I fear I was not specific enough on the specific archetype. The character of Lancelot in this universe is hoity toity with a lot of premadona energy. Think of James from Team Rocket or Prince Charming from Shrek.

New big role
Lancelot is an important villain character we need filling with rich depth and charisma. I wish you all luck. Think Prince Charming or James from Pokémon.
You are a villainous pretty boy, akin to prince charming but even more evil. More concerned on looks than actually running a kingdom. Think James from Team Rocket or Prince Lancelot from Shrek.

Tell me, will the royal council always be this boring?
Ah just one second, have to redo my hair.
Lancelot Dulac, at your service.
You are a snake person in a crowd of other snake people. You will be arguing with armed soldiers who are stripping your lands of resources.
Hay hay, here here. We’ve had enough of your gear.
You machine is mining red dust too close to our homes. The rumbling is breaking out glasses and fine china.
*Shout* Alessandri Scum!!!!
You are a floating fat lady known as "The Baroness". You lead a violent noble house hell bent on taking the bad lands but you have a soft spot for the protagonist. Like Camille minus the effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38-fKvyD8sE&ab_channel=SkinSpotlights
[Angry] Enough of that now- it is not like I like you or anything. Your just... cute.
[Stern] Empeor Obsidious, my men need more time, the Alessandri's are troublesome.
[Blush] Look, you won't tell anyone would you. Mother would kill me.
You are a crystal maid who defends a noble lady of a noble house. You are calm and collected and very wise.
Of course Mistress Harken. Would that be anything else.
You should lay off of those, you are round enough as it is.
Do you mind?
You are a once kind Latin American father who grows cruel under the manipulation of a sand witch. Something like breaking bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSDLNjwIjbM&ab_channel=BreakingBad%26BetterCallSaul
[Angry] We are taking fire? Where has that blasted boy run off to?
[Wise] This is far more than a mountain of sand. It is the means of our future.
[Cruel] I should have guessed... you are much like your mother. Pick it up!
You are an old witch who is actually an eldritch entity in disguise. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkhR3D3Ak34&ab_channel=SirFist
Ahhhh yes. The chose child has revealed himself. How foolish...
Come closer, let me see the fate bringer
