Allyville Webcomic
Concept Document
Cast The motley crew
- Sasha Queen Succubus of Allyville And bitchy landlady of the casts home in the dilapidated Allyville mansion.
- Tim Angel Angsty, melodramatic prone to introspective soliloquy, followed closely by comic relief
- Tad Vampire Eccentric and a bit loopy, prone to randomness and entrancement with shiny objects.
- Allie Vampire The other half of the Allyville vampiric couple. Similarly behaved with perhaps an err to the kinky.
- Brandon Knight in Shining Armor suitor of Queen Ally, a bit whimsical; rides into the mansion on his horse
- Steph Sister of Queen Ally ruler of a neighboring kingdom. (Cameo)
- Elena Werewolf Associate of Tad and Allie who tends to drop in every once in a while.
Setting Allyville
- The semi urban sprawling city of Allyville, a reflection of Sashas personal website. All aspects of the character lives; work, shopping, relaxation, occur within the city.
- The Mansion is owned and operated by Queen Succubus Ally. She rents out rooms to the various tenants and tries not to kill them before collecting rent. The mansion is rather like a dorm in that meals are done collectively and recreation is public. The rooms are just bedrooms.
Plot Notes s not just random
- The strip is a reflection of reality a twisted and distorted reflection but a reflection nonetheless and as such, certain elements are true.
o Tim is in love with Queen Ally
o Queen Ally is being courted by Sir Brandon
o Tad and Allie are a happy little gothic couple
- The focus is just on the everyday lives of the cast working, angsting, trying to pay the rent the boring stuff.
Art Notes The elements of style (witty gets old, dont it?)
- Tim input: I was thinking something in neutral style. I like it because it can go detailed and dramatic or chibi and cute and comical without clashing too much. Gives us some freedom for variety.
- Ally's input: I wanna do sketchy.
- Tim response: *sighs*
(Authors note: *grins* Humor me for my humor. *grins again* Bad puns are my forte, and not a wooden one either. s stone with a moat, even.)
First Strip Introducing the cast
First frame: From over the shoulder of Tim who is perched in the eaves, looking down at Tad and Allie, and possibly the queen? seated at a table.
Second frame: Vamps Tad and Allie chatting at breakfast, sipping at blood or whatever, the dialogue should demonstrate the relationship between them.
Third Frame: A melodramatic wide angle view from below of Angel-Tim flying down with feathers floating around, a halo perhaps, etc.
Fourth frame: The vampires looking annoyed and picking feathers out of their blood, complaining about Angel-Tim's dramatic entrance.
Fifth Frame: Angel Tim is getting thwacked by the queen who then hands him a dustbuster and tells him to "clean the hell up." Probably should be done in a more comical style to contrast with the ultra melodramatic third frame.
