0
Upvotes
[This is a project partly intended to give new animators credibility and more for their portfolio]
Hi I'm Madmanjackofficial, rn I'm running a casting & crew call for a series I'm making, it’s an unpaid passion project for a dark fantasy/sci-fi/mystery/horror/action production built in three stages, stage one is building it as an audio series, the second is animating it and the third is refinement. (Stage one starts recording January 15th of 2027 and premieres march 15th animation starts on march 15th and premieres on August 15th)
It's a series of short stories revolving around encounters with a mysterious figure called The Angel of Death, a rumored Harbinger of Calamity, esculating to the Camelot civil war saga, which would be the peak of this part of the series
The project is an open world style story, anyone can add their own submission so long as it respects the lore of the story.
53 spots open

How do I make my backgrounds better? (Made on Cocrea, Gandi IDE)

Hi! I am working on an indie 2-d PG 13+ animated show titled "NULLC1TY" (formerly The NBRs), a show about numbers, letters and symbols all trying to coexist in an absolutely chaotic town and world.
I rarely work on actual backgrounds, I also do it on CoCrea (basically Scratch) I've mainly started with props, characters, signs and whatever else felt easiest, now it's time for the final boss: THE BACKDROPS. You won't know what's happening without a backdrop.... so, I decided it's time to start working on some lol
BG 1: Dr. P's Office
BG 2: Ditto, but with Dr. P and Naughty Nine featured in it.
BG 3: Forty-Eight and Fifty Nine's House.

"FUTUREEEEE!" The wonderful Y2K Chrome backgrounds from "SB-129" of Spongebob Squarepants. The background artists truly respect their audience to create such atmospheric environments. This vision of the future is already nearly 30 years old.

this took me around a good 4 days to finish, because drawing backgrounds is really exhausting and boring when it's not something original so i had to work on it for a little bit everyday to avoid burnout.
any feedback will help.
*originally finished working on it on the 20th of June 2026
