Hi All! Pleasure to meet you! I'm Abby Herbert, also known as abby.h.art, and I want to bring to life something that's been simmering for years! Here's some payment FAQ & requirements for applying!
{THIS IS A SOLO-FUNDED PROJECT, THE PILOT WILL BE UPLOADED ONTO YOUTUBE}
Yes, you will be paid. You will be paid 50% once production of an episode has reached a mid-point, and the other 50% at the conclusion of the episode. This way nobody is left without compensation for at least half, and nobody takes the money and proceeds to become inactive. All payment is to be sent via PAYPAL. You must have a PAYPAL account if you would like to submitting. All payments will be in AUD (Australian Dollar).
Animation & Art Requirements
For Animation, Adobe Flash is required, and a Google Drive account must be created in order to share files with the team.
For Artists, either Adobe Flash, Photoshop or Paint Tool SAI is recommended. Art can be kind of a gray area, so if you have any questions, feel free to message me. I'll update this page if theres any new information about this role & its requirements.

A silky smooth, well pronounced voice.
Princess Julianna (Julia for short) is the proud, refined, stubborn but also terrified young heir of the Azilus Throne.
A young woman of 22, Julia has spent most of her time within the castle walls, learning royal etiquette, and struggling to control the magick she was born with. Never feeling quite enough, Julia goes out of her way to prove herself, most often ending in embarrassment.
"Magick is a great burden to carry. Vulnerability is not an option, as I'm sure you understand.."
As a child, I greatly enjoyed the company of animals. I even had a pet goose I bought everywhere with me, Bee! *laughs* He was always there for me when I was locked up in the castle.
Eris, can you hear me? Quickly, we need to get out of here! I...I can't do this alone...
Eris' voice is really up to you, interprete her as you wish.
Eris is a sneaky, spunky, forward-thinking 25 year old that, despite being older than Julia, is more carefree and laid-back than the Princess. Life is all about living, regardless of where you come from or what you are. Due to her carefree nature, Eris sometimes finds herself in more trouble than she'd like to admit. She lives for tomorrow, and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the people she cares about happy, even if that means she has to sacrifice her own happiness.
"*laugh* Quit being so uptight, Princess! You know me, I'm all jokes. Now if you could just calm down for a second, I'll be able to free you.."
"Did you REALLY just threaten my friends? Oh Wow, you have no idea who you're messing with..."
"*sigh* I'm beat...and soo hungry.. Uhh...Julia, why don't you cook tonight? *GASP* CAN YOU COOK THAT AMAZING STEW LIKE LAST TIME!!?? Pretty please!!"
Vedris is sly, cunning and intelligient, except she doesn't have much control over her emotions.
Vedris is a witch who strives to take the throne, which she believes is her right, after the cult had taken out the Royal Family for her. She wants to claim the throne as her own and take Azilus back to a time where evil reigned and they were the most fearsome and mighty kingdom. In all of the bad ways, of course.
"I am closer to my goal now more than ever. The Kingdom of Azilus soon shall be no more."
"Oh? You wish to fight me? How pathetic. I see through those eyes of yours. You're nothing but a child, unworthy of the title that....rightfully belongs to ME."
'I will never forgive the Royal Family...My dear little brother was too young to understand our Kingdom's might before 'peace' reigned. The land flourished, along with my nobility. Marry that..WITCH, he did. After all I'd done for him!"
Alexander is a Soldier. He wants to restore the Princess' to the throne and continue on as a devout Knight of Azilus. He was taught to never think about himself, only his Kingdom and protecting it. After Azilus was attacked, he became the Princess' Guard and slowly started to understand that the Kingdom really wasn't the utopia he was brought up to believe it was.
"My duty is to Her Highness and the People of Azilus. You can trust I will protect and honor Her Grace until my last dying breath."
"...You were so close to the Royal Ball on the night of the Attack. A commoner with your attire and demeanor surely wouldn't be allowed anywhere NEAR the Castle. Be careful where you tread..."
"Do you expect me to discard all I've been taught in a matter of days? It's difficult to comprehend..that your entire young life was spent devoted to a Kingdom that was to fall within mere hours?"
A background Artist proficient in creating forests and foliage, as well as medieval-inspired buildings.
