PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
Hiii everyone!! This is my very time requesting something like this, so if I miss anything crucial or you're confused on something, please feel free to ask me! ^_^
I need citizens to fill up a village...villages...countries--a world. I need citizens to fill up a world.
I'm so bad at trying to come up with various designs on my own, and I've been seeing some people looking for cameos for their comics. This is great idea and I wanted to jump in and make the same offer!
This will be for my romance/fantasy webcomic Between the Realms. The story takes place in an alternate dimension, a place where there's no common ancestor for the great apes thus no homosapiens exist. Instead, all the other various animals, reptiles, amphibians, etc...evolved and took on humanoid form. They still retain the shapeshift into their "ancestral forms" since they never lost the knowledge of their evolution and were able to master the ability to shift into their ancestral forms.
(There's no science to back any of this story up, it's just a fun fantasy romp. I always advise no educational benefit can come from my webcomic, it's for pure entertainment).
That being said there are some rules to this world (which will unfold as the story progresses, don't wanna exposition dump too much!)
One of the prime ones are these evolved beings never take on their ancestral aspects (such as ears, tails, wings, etc...) while in humanoid form. It's taboo and those that do are viewed with some prejudice. You'll notice one of the main characters Amirah, wears her ancestral aspects and she gets grief for it.
I don't wanna spoil why it's taboo since it'll be explained later, but the people prefer one form or the other. Either they're in full humanoid form or in their feral ancestral form, no "in-between" state.
So what does this mean for you?
Well, since the comic takes place in an alternate world I'm really open to creative and any character design. It's NOT Earth, so the cultures, fashion, etc...can be different and bizarre or totally normal.
And just like here on Earth, there are creatures that haven't evolved into a humanoid form which some are wild or domesticated, so I'm also open to accepting regular animal character cameos.
Let me be clear really quick, you do NOT have to make a special character for a cameo in Between the Realms.
Sending me your already made character designs from your rp, comic, projects, etc...is perfectly fine!
You'll also be getting free exposure along with your character drawn in my art style! I'll put your username in the description box on whatever page your character(s) cameos in to give you credit.
DISCLAIMER:
Please read carefully
1. This is a populated world, accidents are gonna happen. If you DON'T want your OC harmed in any way, please let me know in your request.
2. By providing your OC cameo, you're acknowledging that some day I may sell this comic with your cameo(s) in it. I'll try my best to maybe do a special "Thank You" section for supplying cameos, but no promises since this'll be A LOT to go through and A LOT of names to list. If you're not okay with you character being in a comic that may make sales someday, then you don't have to participate.
3. I will use your characters as much as you let me. This comic touches on violence, sexual themes, and some triggering situations. If you don't want your cameo to be part of these topics, then please make it clear in your request. (There won't be too many of these scenes, but I just wanted to add that in just in case).
4. Some bad guys will be needed as henchmen or minions or guards, etc...If you DON'T want your OC cameo to be a bad guy, just let me know!
5. If your character has a certain speech pattern (lisp, accent, certain words or phrases they use a lot) let me know and I'll do my best to incorporate it!
6. If your character has magical powers in any way, I will NOT have them display it. The only "magic" this parallel world has is the ability to shape shift into their ancestral forms, and their heightened senses. They cannot perform spells or any of that.
7. Technology is developing in this parallel world. So if your OC is from a sci-fi or steampunk series, that's fine! But keep it limited to just their outfit if necessary! (Can't have Mustangs and spaceships running amok lol!)
Alrighty, now that we got all of that outta the way~If all of this sounds fine with you then lets get down to what I need from you!
GUIDELINES:
1. Character(s) designs. (post them below)
2. Post as many characters as you want! ^_^
3. THERE IS NO DEADLINE! I'll always need citizens to fill up these towns, so feel free to keep this thread going for centuries bwahaha
4. Humanoid and animal characters are accepted.
5. If your character has horns, wings, ears, tail and you want them to be cameoed, please be aware I'll accept them but I'll remove these features since this coincides with the taboo subject I mentioned earlier.
6. Is your character just a normal human? That's fine too! (Sometimes humans slip through the cracks and get stuck in this parallel world).
7. Does your OC already have an animal form? This will be accepted! Just send me both designs so I can be as accurate as possible.
Aaannnddd....I think that's it? That's all I can think of! ^_^
You don't have to subscribe to my comic, but if you would like to see your character(s) cameo, then it's only a friendly suggestion.
If I missed anything, or if you have any questions, concerns please let me know ASAP!
Thank you everyone so much for all of your wonderful help! I can't wait!! asdfghjkl
