Great Story No Characters

:) Hello Everyone

i just thought of a great story for an Action/adventure series but the problem is i can't draw characters for it. Can people create an Cartoon Series without coming up with the character design?

P.s. can you hire people to create character designs for u?

Everyone falles into that catagory, great ideas but with out out the means to carry them out. What you are talking about is called pitching a story. Before you go knocking on any doors you might wont to get some college level knowledge under you belt.

Not everyone.

And to answer the original poster yes and yes.

Really, I am not in the business but from what I have heard, people that come off the street are often directed to the "Egress".

Humm, on the one hand I agree with your "yes" to this question but how can a person have a story without charaters. Echi may not have put pencil to paper but when push comes to shove, there must be some ghost of a shape to draw from. ( sorry for the pun )

I Thought U Hire!!

i thought that in making a tv show you can hire some character designs for a story. u can't beable to draw all characters if your the Director :(

For some reason I 'd feel more comfortable

to design my own characters.. :rolleyes:

Hello,

Echi, you seem to have a nice style evolving in your character work. Why don't you give the characters a go for yourself. From what i've seen on you're web site you are going about it the right way.

There's some good work there - keep it going!

Of course you can Echi. Actually you'd be surprised how little is needed to pitch an idea for a TV show. I know at most of the studios here, Cartoon Network, Disney, etc. they only want a couple of writen pages about the theme of the show. Brief discriptions of the main characters, and a few very brief ideas for episode ideas. Then a page or two of a few character sketches to give them and idea of mood and look. Most studios don't want ideas too polished, because then that leaves no room for them to change thing's if they want.

Yes they do have character designers. Whole departments of them, but if you are going to be the director of the show, you should be able to draw all the characters yourself. After all, it is your show. Good luck Echi.

Aloha,
