Wild Westly Pilot

Project Overview

Wild Westly is a show that follows the story of Weevil, a small gang of insect cowboys that call the Old West their home. This alternate history adult-oriented series will star Wylie Westly and his gang as they follow the orders of Mayor Colt Papillo, taking out other gangs and clearing a path through the slowly deteriorating West under his command.

Though, don't expect it to remain this way, because something is... off about this place.

Hi, I'm Winston, the creator of this project! Thank you for showing interest and reading far down enough to see this message. If you are interested in supporting Wild Westly but you do not/cannot apply to any roles, then please follow me on twitter/tiktok @topazanimation where I post updates about my progress on the animatic/animation for the episode, along side sneak peaks at characters that would be showing up later in the series! Hope you enjoy!

NOTES


  • Applicants must be 18+, this is an adult-oriented show, and even if it wasn't, I do not feel comfortable hiring anyone that is not of age.


  • I am hoping to make this a long-term project, and if funding is achieved for this project then I intend to raise the pay of my artists, VAs, and other project workers.


  • Some of the more technical roles are listed as deferred. This is not true, they are simply roles that I am unfamiliar with and would prefer the input of individuals for how to pay you fairly.

Latest Updates

  • Project Progress

    The following information has been copied from our latest Kickstarter update, which includes additional images. Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildwestly/wild-westly-pilot/posts/4112703

    We wanted to reassure everyone that the production of Wild Westly is ongoing, and while we may not have more footage to show for it, we certainly have development in the progress of the Pilot!

    Voice Actors

    We have now gotten together our full cast of voice actors! We have such an incredible team, including the amazing Gianni Matragrano, who is voicing Mayor Colt Papillo! We have already recorded lines for the two characters who weren't listed in our Casting Call, and will be scheduling sessions with the rest of our cast in the following week! Follow this link to our Casting Call page to see who has been selected and give their auditions a quick listen!

    Characters

    The characters of Wild Westly have gone through some small changes, with colour palletes being tweaked for three of the five main characters and the design of Elliot's clothing being developed to give him a more interesting silhouette. Harriet, Westly, and Wendy have all had minor changes made to them over the last few weeks with the goal of making their values more readable. If you're not an artist, don't worry, the values of a character's colour palette basically means if you shifted them to black and white, would the shades all be the same or different.

    Music

    We have an incredible musician working on the soundtrack for the pilot. Currently, he has produced an AMAZING proof of concept track to show off the genre of the show and the quality of his work, and he is working towards composing and writing an opening theme! While it is too early to show any of this, understand that I could not be happier with his work!

    2D Development

    The Wild Westly team is extremely proud of the progress being made on the development of the Wild Westly world and the quality of this development. We have an extremely talented background artist on the team, who is also doing many of the concept pieces for the locations that make up the land of Rostrum, the fictional country that Wild Westly takes place in!

    Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far, and we cannot WAIT to give you further updates on the progress of our fun little show!

  • Casting Closed!

    Hey everyone!

    Thank you SO MUCH for the overwhelming number of submissions to Wild Westly, it has been very reassuring as a small creator to see such a large number of people interested in becoming a part of the team and also showing support for the project itself! We have selected our main cast from the submissions.

    Extras and artists should be hearing from us soon, as we are getting together our scripted background chatter once the main cast have done their lines.

    Dont forget that Wild Westly has a Kickstarter! It is really important to the project that this Kickstarter succeeds, and we have even added additional tiers with PHYSICAL REWARDS to boost our chances! If you can't donate then please share this link if you can, and feel free to tag topazanimation (on all social medias) or WildWestlyShow (on twitter/X) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wildwestly/wild-westly-pilot?ref=discovery

    It has been incredible using this website and getting to see such a beautiful community of artists, VAs, and other creatives! Godspeed, every single one of you!!

    Sincerely,

    Winston S Lewis and the rest of the Wild Westly writing team!!

  • Kickstarter

    Hello all, happy to let y'all know that Wild Westly has managed to secure some funding through family and friends, but only enough to cover our VAs. While this is a big step, we have looked into budget for background artists, musicians, storyboard artists, and animators, and have officially moved our fundraiser from gofundme to Kickstarter!

    The Kickstarter officially opens tomorrow. Please donate if you can, and if not, please share the link to our Kickstarter wherever you can, the Wild Westly team (all 4 of us) would greatly appreciate it! We even have some unique promises to fulfil for our donators, including art to personally keep as well as your input for background characters to appear in the pilot!

  • Lots of thanks!

    Hi! We're officially 25 days away from the end of submissions for Wild Westly. I wanted to thank everyone that has submitted so far, and we look forward to seeing any submissions that follow!

    .

    Just a few quick updates!

    1. The WW crew (myself and 3 cowriters) will be checking submissions each Friday leading up till the deadline of the 24th. If you have sent a submission either here or via email, don't worry, I can assure you that we have received it. We will be choosing our cast by the end of May, so if you don't hear back from us I apologise!

    2. Some people may not receive roles for our pilot, but there are some VAs that we have our eyes on to potentially get in touch with for characters appearing in later episodes! As I have said before, there will always be opportunities for people to get a role in Wild Westly!

    3. We have (hopefully) managed to obtain some funding! There will be an upcoming listing within the next few months calling for a lot more of the technical roles, such as animators, storyboard/animatic artists, colourists, musicians, audio mixers, and the such!

    .

    That's all for now, and thank you for an incredible first 10 days of our project! Feel free to send more VA and artist auditions either here or to my email, we're always happy to see new talent!

Wendy Fantôme

Paid: Flat Rate 50 USD
Role assigned to: Mazie Voss

Wendy Fantôme is an easily irritable and harsh-speaking woman, and is the gang’s sniper and strategist. Wendy typically speaks in a tone of disgust, whether it be mocking or genuine, and often acts stand-offish towards the people around her. She speaks without hesitation and doesn't mince her words or lower her tone. Despite this, she does have the potential to be soft spoken, but only when addressing characters she cares about (Hercule, Westly). Character age is estimated at mid to late 20s. French accent, preferably looking for someone that can speak french but is not a necessity. This character is transgender (mtf), but being trans is not a requirement to apply for this role.

Argus Silksong

Paid: Flat Rate 37 USD
Role assigned to: Sasha

Argus Silksong is the leader of the main gang that rivals Westly, called The Ladies in Waiting. We're looking for someone with a real strong voice for this important villain! Argus is a stoic older woman, bitter and forward. She speaks harshly to most people, even those that she cares for, and has a near obsession with convincing Elliot to join her gang. She has a clear distaste for men as a whole. Character age is estimated from late 50s to early 60s. Nigerian Accent, looking for Nigerian/African VA. Also happy for the following, as the accent of this character is inspired by the countries her moth (Eudaemonia argus) can be found in: Gabon, Ivory Coast, Togo, Guinea, Benin.

Paid: Flat Rate 31 USD

Kathryn Diddler is a gruff, deeper-voiced woman who acts as Argus' second in command. While Argus controls the gang, it is Kathryn who controls the people. She is the one to step up and give orders when Argus isn't present or passes the role onto her. Kathryn has a strong voice and carries herself as a commanding figure that should not be trifled with. Even when speaking softly she has a natural grit to her voice. The character's age is estimated around mid 30s. Southern American accent, this character is a member of the LGBT.

Background Artist (Internal)

Deferred: Agreed Amount

Looking for a background artist with some level of familiarity working on backgrounds for animation. Backgrounds are already sketched out in detail in the storyboard, requiring line refinement and colouring. I would love to see portfolios and examples of your work! The backgrounds are Old West themed, so someone with experience or passion for this era and the details/colours associated with it is key! Ideally I am looking for a textured style to the colouring, similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZgG4CvcZso but would happily accept a different style if it is appealing and I believe it works for the show!


This listing is for an internal background artist, someone who is happy to work on backgrounds that are the insides of houses and vehicles, such as train carriages, bedrooms, saloons, etc.


I am unsure how to go about payment for this role as there are a lot of backgrounds to work on, but also, the majority of backgrounds are already at the lineart stage, so I will have to discuss commission prices further with individuals who apply!
