Dear CnC, I have a strange proposal for you!

Okay, so, I've got this assignment to do. It's a four page comic, and I'm going to whine a lot if I have to make characters for it that I don't care about. So! I want to use a general mishmash of fandom for it! So that all my classmates will stare and go, wait, is that Tony Stark as the butler? And Marceline the Vampire Queen as the getaway driver?? WHAT HAVE YOU WROUGHT, LIZ?!

It'll be pretty cool.

So what I'm looking for is characters to fill the roles I've got to draw! I've got nine rolls to fill, and I'd like it if they were fairly recognizable characters (as recognized by nerdy-as-hell art students), but that's not totally necessary. I'm going to take characters as according to personal preference, because while I'd like to do first come first serve, I'm going to have to draw these assholes for four pages. I have to want to draw them. 8( BUT I CAN SQUEEZE IN ONE LITTLE BIT OF FAIR and say one character per player!

edit: I SHOULD ADD THAT I AM TOTALLY NOT UP TO DRAWING LIVE ACTION PEOPLE FOR THIS. it would be sad and unfortunate and you would want to hit me with a brick when it was done.

Okay here's basically the script:

Six well-dressed people are sitting at a table having dinner in a fancy house. A butler enters the room and informs a man sitting at the table that there's a phone call for him. He goes and answers the phone, to talk to the nerd-guy on the other end of the line, who's sitting in his nerd-cave in front of many computers. The nerd gives the man some bad news.
The guy hangs up the phone, pulls out a gun, and runs back into the dining room to shoot some or all of the diners (this can totally be a water gun if I don't feel like killing anyone). He jumps through the window and into a convertible where a sexy lady drives him away. Awwww right.

THE ROLES I HAVE TO FILL:
Diner 1 ZOIDBERG
Diner 2 RIDDLER
Diner 3 ZELGADIS
Diner 4 RAPUNZEL
Diner 5
Butler DARTH VADER
James Bond Guy (could also be a lady)
Nerd Guy (could also also be a lady)
Sexy Lady (could be a dude)
EXTRA: MEOWTH AS HOUSE CAT

PROBABILITY UNLESS USURPED BY BETTER IDEA LIST:
Tony as Nerd
Hank as Diner
Superman as Diner
Bob as Sexy Lady
Lion-O as James Bond


I WOULD LOVE YOU GUYS FOREVER IF YOU PROVIDED ME WITH PEOPLE TO DRAW. And of course I'll show you the results of all your hard decision-making when they're done. :D

TONY STARK OBVS
he should be your nerd though

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

do you really want tony sitting in a nerdcave surrounded by action figures of cute anime girls
do you really
because this is what i will do to him.

[crabulous]

...Zoidberg as a diner?

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

...i like this. zoidberg makes any scene 200% better.

[pacifister]

Any of mine would be good, though Spike and Quatre are probably the most recognizable since they come from visual medias.

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

oh god i think i would just. fall flat on my face trying to draw spike. it would be awful and everyone would point and laugh at me. ;_; QUATRE THOUGH... hmmm. i will think about that one! thank you :D

[afeatherpillow.livejournal.com]

IS THE NARRATOR RECOGNIZABLE ENOUGH?

aaaah, either way, this is so exciting! I can't wait to see!

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

I REALLY REALLY HESITATE TO TRY THE NARRATOR just because me drawing live action people is just... unfortunate. i'd spend forever trying to make him look like edward norton and all my classmates would just go IS THAT ZOIDBERG SITTING NEXT TO THAT GUY WITH THE BLACK EYE? and then i'd cry. you don't want me to cry. i'd blame it entirely on you.

[supergabbie.livejournal.com]

I WANT NORMAN IN THERE he can be james bond

or bob as a sexy lady

no amount of well-dressedness could save harvey, i think...

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

bob oh my god hgiosnegs hair just flowing in the breeze...

HE IS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE OPTION HERE. i will put him as a "probability unless usurped by better idea"!

[pacifisted.livejournal.com]

I'd say this one if only because it's hard for most nerd types alive during the early 00's not to remember the bad hair? Or so has been the experience down here.

And also because if you tried to draw Godzilla in a diner you'd pretty much only have his foot through a hole in the roof.

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

you know. i just don't think my professor would like to see a giant scaly foot seated at the table as one of the diners. I COULD BE CRAZY.

but i like mr lion face there! possibly as a diner. :|a that hair IS pretty recognizable, and everyone knows dem gundams, at least in passing. ONTO THE PROBABILITY UNLESS USURPED BY BETTER IDEA LIST HE GOES.

[incywincyhero.livejournal.com]

Darth Vader should be one of them, clearly.

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

........you could not be more correct. as who, do you think.

[hotforbabyleg.livejournal.com]

is marceline the vampire queen actually an option here

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

well. well. maybe not. i'd have to draw her in adventure time style or no one would recognize her, and i don't think my professor would appreciate it if i just suddenly dropped all detail from one of the faces.


BUT GOD I WISH SHE WERE.

[professorlionface]

Feel free to use any of my dudes! hank would obviously be the most readily noticeable

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

oh god he would so be recognizable
HE'S TAKING A FIRM SPOT ON THE PROBABILITY UNLESS USURPED BY BETTER IDEA LIST.

[lyingbrat.livejournal.com]

You can totally have Lyra if you still need anyone?

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

geshoinks oh god i would just do no justice to her adorable live action self i'm sorry, people would be like who the hell is that ringleted girl with the rat on her shoulder

and then i would never draw again, out of shame

[hexappeal]

I say you should use Calvin. Since he's so recognizable and just... unexpected. :x

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

calvin! ...hmmm. he would be recognizable, but... maybe not in my style. he'd be the same problem as marceline, where if i wanted people to know him i'd have to use the style of his canon. GOT ANYONE ELSE? i like the unexpected route.

[noelleno.livejournal.com]

ZELGADISSSSS

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

ghsnkgs YES ZELGADIS IS IN. as who??

[caprihorn]

I vote Superman for butler even though he's your character and not mine.

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

DARTH VADER IS MY BUTLER
possibly a diner? i don't have too many superbuff guys in yet, aside from Bob the Sexy Lady...

[littlebratziska.livejournal.com]

PUT VADER IN THERE SOMEWHERE

I DON'T EVEN CARE WHERE PUT VADER IN SOMEWHERE

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

VADER IS JUST THE BESTEST MOST LOYAL AND DISTINGUISHED BUTLER EVER. don't spill your tea on the carpet or he'll choke you with a thought.

[diesarock]

Alas, even my most pop-culture-friendly character isn't super recognizable.

INSTEAD:

Lion-O.

[girlyboywonder.livejournal.com]

oh my god lion-o aghionesklgs everyone would recognize the shit out of him
FIRM SPOT ON MY PROBABLE LIST but edging toward permanent hoisenlgksgs

[paints-lanterns.livejournal.com]

...! :D

[pacifisted.livejournal.com]

a pile of hair coiled up on a plate
next to a pile of spaghetti coiled up on a plate

I VOLUNTEER RIKKU AS SEXY LADY

[shiromadoushi]

I saw the word nerd and felt compelled to offer this one, even if he's the wrong type of nerd :)

[ridi-arlecchino.livejournal.com]

DO YOU HAVE EVERYBODY YET?

[sorcerersupreme]

The most instantly recognizable out of my kids is probably Doctor Strange. Quicksilver is also an option... And uhh... Momoko is probably not super noticeable outside of OH IT'S A LOLITA.

[tinybutdeadly]

YOU CAN HAVE A TOPH IF YOU WANT.

[stealer_ofsouls]

/o-offers up this creeper?

[badumtish.livejournal.com]

if godzilla isn't playing basketball in this somewhere i'm divorcing you

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

JAMES BOND AS JAMES BOND

...

[expletives]

oh my god this is beautiful in basically every way

UUUUH KARKAT AS NERD GUY MAYBE??? or even......... nerd lady
