Welcome to the Kingdom of Hollinsbury, where anyone can rise to the top, even our hero Tybalt. Once a disgraced, boozy, male escort, now the husband to the King! How did he do it? Well I guess you'll just have to watch and see.
In this story we follow Tybalt, a male prostitute residing in the oh so lovely swamps of the Kingdom. When he catches the King's eye, life gets turned upside down. He gets sent away to live in the Kingdom's Capitol. But, life amongst royals isn't all it's cracked up to be! He's got a jealous prince, a hellbent sorceress, and a major hangover standing in his way. Let's hope our little hero can make it through the day without losing his head...or worse!
Tybalt of the Swamp is a 30 minute animated adult comedy full of fun, adventure, and maybe a few pit stops to the pub on the way. I'm looking to produce a rough draft of the pilot script and need some help from all you talented people. While this is a low paying gig, I'll definitely be trying to make this into something bigger, and will be willing to pay more if this moves forward. You all deserve to be fairly compensated for your work, and I'll do my best to see it happen!
A couple of rules.
1. The usual, have a good mic/recording equipment obviously. Hate to sound like a broken record but it has to be said.
2. Have a decent turn around time. I know we all have lives and this is an unpaid project, but I don't wanna turn to dust before I get your audio files so please please please be fairly fast with them! I promise I won't be a jerk about it! :)
3. Be okay with adult themes/cursing. This is an adult comedy after all and while the show doesn't get TOO raunchy, if you wouldn't watch an episode of Family Guy you wouldn't be a good fit. This is also a LGBT friendly project so any homophobes or what have you need not apply.
4. Be FUN! I'm looking for friendly, fun, FUNNY, people to join in on this project, If you've always wanted to do an over the top cartoon now is your chance! When auditioning make sure the fun in you jumps out!
Will definitely be updating this as we go along, probably gonna make a discord server soon and finish up character designs, but I wanted to get this out here first! Can't wait to see what you guys bring!
Jasper is Tybalt's starving (literally) artist roommate. She's a tough gal whose always down for adventure...and maybe a pint or two. She speaks in a thick Scottish accent.
(Scoffs)
You? Dating a King? Please, the classiest date you ever went on took place in the back alley of a tavern.
(Looking back at an old painting)
I remember this Tybalt. This Tybalt had dreams of doing great things. To become a beacon of hope.
Look you're my best friend and all that, but I can't cover up a murder for you, not again.
Stanson is Ogden's nephew and heir to the throne. He's been raised to believe that becoming King is part of his destiny, but deep down he longs for a different life.
Uh..Tybalt you do know what a Lord in Waiting is right?
Tybalt please! This is Prince Consort, Leowald Halicliff, Husband to the King!
Because it's time for you to take control of your life. You can't let destiny give you crabs...again.
King Ogden, ruler of Hollinsbury. He's not exactly a tyrant but he ain't no Arthur the Great. He's obsessed with his public image and will do ANYTHING to better it.
Conveniently remind me why we're in this pisshole again?
(flirtatiously)
Good day sir, say you ever wanted to sit on a King's throne? eh?
Hmm..You do make a convincing argument. I suppose I could always make you a Lord in Waiting.
Lord Vernon, the King's younger brother and right hand man. He has absolutely no time for nonsense, understood? Think Zazu from the Lion King.
Exactly my grace. And studies have shown that public appearances to Hollinsbury's less...
(He spots a grotesque man on the side of the road.)
Sophisticated regions can make you a hit with the peasants.
Shall I ready the guillotine my grace?
Alright you two, enough dillydallying it's time to get settled.
The Mayor of Glasmarsh, only appears in the pilot (MAYBE recurring in future episodes). He's the low class mayor of a low class town. Typical hillbilly bumpkin type.
Welcome to Glasmarsh, your highness! Let me show you folks around!
Take in the sights and smells of our beautiful little town!...but don't actually inhale the smell, the air here is pretty toxic.
Get it together you drunk! You're on the clock.
Prince Leowald of Halicliff, Husband of the King, Ruler of the Halicliff Region, and haver of stick up his butt. The absolute definition of royalty, and he knows it. A total jerk. He gets killed in the Pilot.
Oh, you really are as dumb as you smell.
You're not an actual Lord you ingrate. You're a servant, to ME.
Defying my orders are you?
(Peasant, HUGE over the top hillbilly accent)
NAW! I'm just playin! Our mayor's that guy drinkin' out of that there boot!
(Typical Hype man for a concert or show)
What is up Halishire!? Are you guys excited for this execution!?
(Incompetent doctor)
Let's see hmm, color drained from skin...blood seeping from eyes...lethal chemicals around the mouth. Yup, looks like your typical jumper. What a shame.
I need someone who would be able to storyboard the first episode of Tybalt, I know this is a big job and I totally wish I could pay more but $100 is truly like the most I can pay. BUT I’ll work with you and we can make this a collaborative effort :)
Say something you think would fit
Currently focusing on the storyboarding of the pilot but will need someone skilled in animation at some point! If you wanna bring this wacky cartoon to life, you're perfect!
