Description I wish there was a way to put a little star or something next to certain submissions, cuz this is a biggie.

Mad Mansion is the cartoon that I hope to have on TV one day. It's not my most ambitious project, but it's the most accessible and fun. It's basically all comedy with some hilarious action scenes thrown in. As far as comedy goes, this is my masterpiece. I actually thought of the base concept almost 7 years ago, but I only began really developing it when Austin found about it and added a whole new level of hilarious to the series. As of right now, I have an 8 page Word document with various jokes and scenarios that will all somehow work their way into Mad Mansion. I didn't want to reveal anything until I had the designs correct, and now I do. So, here you go.

The characters you see here are not all included from the first episode. One thing that I wanted to empthasize in Mad Mansion is an evolution of the environment. These are the characters that get added gradually during a (theoritical) Season 1. The characters in the top row are the only ones who show up in the first episode. Everyone else appears in later episodes. After that, who knows. I could keep going. There's a few characters I didn't include because I plan to introduce them in future episodes, and I don't want to ruin the surprise.

I also want the mansion they live in to change every once in a while, depending on how the cast decide to destroy it in each episode. By the 3rd-4th season, it wouldn't look anything like it did in the first episode. There would be walls missing and planes stuck in the ceiling, and who know what else.

Character Bios:
---

Maximillian Estate (Max): The "owner" of the mansion in which everyone resides. Not really, though. His billionare parents are always "away on business" and he has an entire mansion (and seemingly endless bank account) to himself. It doesn't help that he's a bit of an arrogant jackass and completely oblivious as to how the world operates.

Magnet: The best friend. Built when Max was very little to keep him out of trouble, and so far...he hasn't done a very good job. He's more down-to-earth than Max, but he doesn't have a whole lot of common sense, and tends to get dragged into Max's schemes.

Cow: No one really knows why he's living in the mansion. But, Cow is probably the closest to being "normal," and often mocks Max for his ignorance in the most cynical way possible. He speaks with a deep baritone and is usually reading the newspaper.

Higgins: The penguin butler. Because, who makes a better butler than a penguin? No one. He was hired to look after the mansion and make sure it doesn't burn down, but just like Magnet, he has trouble keeping Max under control. He talks like a polite gentleman, but he seems to have somewhat morbid intentions.

Breynold: Fleshy pink demon-thing. He doesn't talk much, and doesn't do much...why is here again?

Salt Burger: The jackass neghbor. His moving in next door is the plot for the first episode. Because of a misunderstanding, he has sworn to make Max's life a living hell. But, he usually screws something up or forgets that he's Max's rival and ends up joining the gang in their "adventures." His parents own a fast food chain, and just like Max's parents, are usually not around.

Green: The driver, the pilot and all-around cool guy. He seems to be the worst imaginable choice for a driver given his umm..."condition"... but so far he's done a pretty decent job.

Sophie: The maid. She's French. She's also hot. Max has an awesome crush on her.

Prof. Motornuts: The resident crazy scientist. He makes whatever inventions Max and Co. might dream up. He also does a great impression of Christopher Lloyd.

Mr.Bear: There's a lot to say about Mr.Bear, and not enough space to do so. His past is a bit of a mystery, as is his first name. He seems to always want to beat Max in some contest, but Max doesn't seem to care...

Jeanette: The tomboy! She's some kind of lizard alien thing, and she's cute to boot! She comes in pretty late in the first season, but she becomes a permanent addition afterwards.
---

And, there you go. I love writing for these characters, and there's an endless amount of situations I could think up for them, each one crazier than the next. I plan on making an 11 minute pilot episode for this sometime next year, and submitting it to Adult Swim (and potentially other GOOD networks.)

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Tools: Flash 8 for the characters, Photoshop for the logo.

that looks great...

one thing tho; you should make sophie's apron hug her body so you can see her curves...

ooo lala! get me?

so wait... the mansion is smashed to the ground?
on every episode? and a new completely different one is built the next ep?

if thats the case.. it'll be a bit hard thinking up of many diff. houses/mansions

but i can think of some right now...

-Medieval castle - complete with moat
-A small out house but when you step in you're sent to another dimension (that contains the rest of the house)

hyperboy In reply to ohayo-gozaimasu [2007-11-21 20:52:25 +0000 UTC]

I tried that....didn't look too great. I think she's hot enough as she is.

Nonono, the mansion is perfectly fine in the first episode. Eventually, things happen to it that make it...not so perfect. A plane might crash into it and stay there the rest of the show. A wall might explode, and giant tree might grow out of one room, so on and so forth.

It's always the same mansion, though...With a statue of Max in the front.

It probably would explode if I didn't write em up. It helps to store my ideas on "paper."

I probably will write up a script for a pilot sooner or later. It'll be Austin and I sitting in a room, thinking up stupid jokes.

hyperboy In reply to RitsukaKintaka [2007-10-29 02:03:10 +0000 UTC]

Well, I told someone else this already, but MM is kind of in weird place.

Adult Swim might not like it because it's too childish in art style. And it could work on Cartoon Network or something, but I want there to be adult humor in the show. So, I'm trapped.

Plus, you make it seem like it's so easy to pitch a show. It's very hard to get a show picked up by a network.

Well Adult Swim cant complain the artwork is childish, a little while ago they had pee wee's play house on Adult Swim.

hyperboy In reply to RitsukaKintaka [2007-10-29 23:43:58 +0000 UTC]

Very true, but they could make the argument that Pee Wee was meant for adults...and it was in a way.

RitsukaKintaka In reply to hyperboy [2007-10-30 21:03:30 +0000 UTC]

True I even caught a few mature jokes in there.
But never the less. If Mad Mansion added some blood, some cruel humor etc. It may have a chance with Adult Swim.
the only prob is voice acting. Which for my cousin isnt a prob. I do most of it XP

hyperboy In reply to RitsukaKintaka [2007-10-31 03:04:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, there's violence and swearing.

Voice acting is the best part. As far as I know, I do like half of the voices in the show. Austin does another quarter of them, and the rest is done by various friends.

RitsukaKintaka In reply to hyperboy [2007-10-31 19:23:01 +0000 UTC]

Cool.
I try the voices in mine, and when I cant do them, we search for people who can.
Wait, so Vlad doesnt do his own voice? -.+

No, he doesn't.

Wanna hear a shocker? I do all the voices in Hyperboy.

It's not really a secret...just something I keep to myself.

RitsukaKintaka In reply to hyperboy [2007-11-01 00:25:40 +0000 UTC]

Really? O.O
Cool. Thats pretty imppresive.
It's hard to voice act, yet alone do like five to seven different characters.
BTW, ep.4 of Hyperboy was insansely awsome. Don't know where you got the idea for hyperboy.
Wait, why'd you pick hyperboy? you could've picked like all sorts of different ideas.

hyperboy In reply to RitsukaKintaka [2007-11-01 03:01:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I practice voice acting a lot.

Hyperboy was my first big idea. That's pretty much why. There were a few ideas I had before it, but Hyperboy was the one I decided to settle on. It had the most potential, and I think that's still true. And don't forget it was a comic at first...that was the easiest medium for me to use.

True, Hyperboy has a very awshome story line. How you thought of it i'll never know, XP
So after Hyperboy, what do you think ur gonna do. Afte this major project of six episodes it seems like all there is to do is put stuff on DA, or is another Flash Series up ahead?
