Help wanted for a project I'm planning
18 years ago
I tried this a while ago and it didn't work out, but I've got a lot more watchers now, including some who I think would have some good suggestions, so here goes.
I've been wanting to do a group picture of a bunch of semi-well-known furries (I want the average furry to be able to recognize some of the furs in it) as characters from the Flash series Homestar Runner. The idea is for the furs involved to sort of match up with the characters they're depicted as in some way. To use an obvious example, I've already decided that MicahFennec's Trevor will play the Poopsmith. So here are the other characters, along with a brief description to help you pick someone out (each one links to his/her page on the Homestar Runner Wiki if you want to know more):
Homestar Runner - Already assigned to
kturtle because (A) it was his own Homestar Runner related work that inspired me to do this in the first place, and (B) he has the benefit of retractable arms, a plus since Homestar lacks arms himself.
Strong Bad - Snarky, sarcastic, sometimes flat-out mean to other characters in a way that's meant to be comical. I know plenty who'd be a good match; I just need one of them to step up and claim the spot.
Strong Mad - Strong Bad's brother. Big, tough, and dumb, but generally tame. Has been known to consume non food items.
Pom Pom - Big orange beach ball of a guy who's popular with the ladies and always possessing of the latest techno-gadgetry. Friend to everyone, including both Strong Bad and Homestar, despite Homestar being one of SB's least favorite people.
Marzipan - The site's only female character and Homestar's part-time girlfriend. Homestar put it best when he said she's "kind of a big hippie." Also plays a mean guitar.
Strong Sad - SB's other brother whom he despises for being such a whiney nerd. Kind of an emo kid who loves depressing music and poetry, and a constant target of SB's pranks and acts of slapstick violence.
The King of Town - Fat old man who lives in a castle and allegedly rules the land, though all he really ever does is eat. And eat. And eat. Employs the Poopsmith "for reasons I don't care to disclose."
Bubs - Runs the Concession Stand, the only known place of business in the cartoon's world. He'll sell you anything you want to buy...for the right price. And more than willing to give you a raw deal if you're dumb enough to fall for it. Sound like anyone you know? More importantly, though, does it sound like anyone who'd be willing to be compared to him? Because I'm not going to put anyone in this who'd complain.
Coach Z - This guy is probably going to be the hardest to pick, because nobody wants to be equated with him. Nobody really likes him that much; he has poor hygiene, is always hitting on Marzipan, and tends to discuss his embarrassing physical problems. He's basically every guy you try to avoid at cons. Good luck, folks. As a possible fallback, he's also an amateur MC.
The Cheat - Strong Bad's pet of imaginary species. More intelligent than many of the main cast, and mildly talented as an animator. Speaks exclusively in a series of squeaky noises SB calls "Cheat talk."
OH! OPTIONAL: Homsar - Occasionally shows up randomly for no reason. Speaks almost exclusively in bizarre non-sequiturs such as "Aaaaaaah'm a trendy totebag!" and "Hey, Reggie! Is that rhinocerous around?" Resembles Homestar but is apparently not related to him in any way.
EDIT: Left out the "semi-well-known" part. Sorry for the confusion.
