Hello! I am working on an animated TV show pilot and I am looking for an artist to help create some character stills to be used in the pitch. We have character concept art already done, but the original artist does not have time to do additional work in the window I am trying to get this completed in. So I am looking for an artist who feels they would be able to match the style of the characters very precisely to do some additional versions of the characters in different actions and poses.
Here is a image with some of the main characters, to give you an idea of the style you would need to match closely: https://i.imgur.com/5rWyNHk.jpg?1
The work would be things like -- draw this same character but laughing, or angry, or with his hands up like he's fighting. There will be several poses per character (still being determined) for 8-10 characters (some characters like the main ones will have more than others).
I am trying to get this work completed within the next week ideally, up to 2 weeks MAX so I am looking for someone who can start ASAP. The budget for this is $200.
I have hired several artists from this subreddit for this project and they have done great work and I have been thrilled to work with them and am very thankful for their contributions to this project. However, unfortunately there have been a few that did not work out, who took up front payments and disappeared without doing work which cuts into the budget and screws over the real hardworking artists on here looking for work.
So Please note: If you are interested in this, I will need to see an example of you being able to match the style of the art precisely and have a plan to finish the work within the time limit before I can hire, and payment will be upon completion of the work. Sorry a few bad eggs can spoil the bunch, but it is what it is.

Hey guys, just looking for some feedback on a script I’m working on.
Title: Church Boy
Genre: Comedy-Drama
Logline: A 13-year old Black kid struggles to find himself while attending a white evangelical church and a Black middle school during the George W. Bush era.
I haven’t written many comedies so aside from the normal feedback I’m mainly just trying to see if it’s funny or not.
I changed this. The link will show Ep1-3 Title: The King's Keys Logline: A lone wolf mercenary with unique powers is hired by a survivor to save her town from an elf army that seeks a magic key with the power to unlock hell on mankind, but as the mission becomes too much, he is forced to confront his past insecurities to unlock his true power. Genre: Action/Adventure Format: Anime TV Ep 1 - 3 General feedback on the story✌🏼https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U1EHnnPtRlJ349I8Zt5hPjHrQznXsEB3/view?usp=sharing
I didn't write anything today
But you have to prove your jokes can land.
I hadn't heard much about the show, but love a good mystery thriller and saw a glowing recommendation from a TV showrunner that I follow. Yellowjackets is about a girls championship varsity soccer team in the 90s whose flight crashes in the Canadian wilderness where they get stranded for 19 months, as well as a modern day timeline with them as adults in 2021.
The show is shot really well with great actors and the mystery is shaping up to be really great. Plus who doesn't love Christina Ricci? As a warning, there's some gore involved and it looks like it's going to hold up to its MA rating, but it doesn't feel gratuitous. The violence fits in with the story they're telling.
So far there are two episodes out on Showtime, but the pilot is available free to watch on Youtube.

Should it feel like "part one" (episode 1) of a journey where you implant ideas for future episodes or is it just a standalone thing that sells your idea, since nothing has yet been commissioned?
I guess to simplify it - is a pilot an "episode 1" or a standalone piece of work?
Thanks.
This is a relatively new style of project for me. I've written to feature screenplays that were both comedy/drama type things. I also wrote around six episodes of an original TV series. This is definitely a new style for me. I plan on writing a few more episodes and I have plan on an overarching story rather than just singular episodes not relating to one and other. This pilot really doesn't have any plot, just trying to establish the tone and the characters. Like I said, I haven't really written in this style before so if you have any thoughts or feedback that would be great! :)

Hello, this is my first post in this community and I would like to see if someone could help me. I remember watching a video about cancelled animated shows, and one entry seemed very cool and I would like to know if someone remembers its name. It was an animated show, but most likely it would've been an adult show, maybe for Adult Swim, probably fantasy/terror. It had a very similar style to Hellboy's comics and featured two characters I vaguely remember (I could be incorrect so take these with a grain of salt); one was a monkey/chimp who could talk and was a smoker, and the other was a steampunk-like robot that had Abraham Lincoln's head in a jar. If anyone could tell me the name of the show and/or link it's pilot, I would heavily appreciate it.
Hi all, So excited for the MOASS :) Like most of you, I don’t know how to properly navigate the tax codes and all that. If anyone on here is well versed in tax codes and understand how to get mom a home, give your siblings a small fortune, or even set up a fund for your nieces and nephews, without being robbed once again by the tax code, that be a huge help to all of us as we strive for generational wealth. Sure I know a lot of you would say just tell them to buy in, but it’s not always that easy and I know my sister who works 2 jobs with 2 kids, doesn’t have the mental stamina to keep up with the highs and lows of the market.
Any support would be appreciated:) Lets Go Ape Nation!
I'm deciding whether to apply to an incubator program backed by a new company that finances, develops, produces, and distributes movies and TV shows.
The agreement (which hasn't been given to us yet -- RED FLAG?) will detail who gets what if they sell a series developed via the incubator.
I realized that I don't know much about what happens when a TV pilot is sold, so I don't know what terms are fair/market.
I know that generally the writers get something up front, and then are commonly retained to write/run the show, based on an employment agreement.
I've been googling around for answers and this blog is one of the most useful I found.
https://leejessup.com/the-harsh-truths-about-selling-your-tv-pilot/
In short,
- hardly anyone sells a pilot without first spending years working their way up through a writers room, and
- a newbie is very unlikely to run the show they created.
Under WGA rules, for a 30-minute network prime time show the minimum is $27,778 for story plus teleplay, plus residuals.
For non-network (which I assume includes the streamers?) it's $16,301 for story plus teleplay. I've heard that streamers like Netflix don't pay residuals.

From what I can gather, $100,000 is a ballpark initial payday for someone selling their first pilot. Does that seem accurate?
Does anyone else have any good resources on this issue?
Edited to add: I'm delighted to learn based on the comments below that newbies selling pilots is a lot more common than I thought!
I'm writing an outline for a TV pilot, but I'm having trouble finding samples/templates. Does anyone know where there are some good samples or templates for TV pilot outlines? Thanks in advance!
