Things Needed to Audition for Animation Team
There are several things you need to keep in mind while auditioning for the Animation Team for Shades of Heart. I don't expect things to be studio quality, but the universe itself does have rules to follow when you try and animate for this series. Remember to follow the guidelines for the races sizes, character designs, and anything else. There is also a small script that goes with the file you would need to actually get the animation done. Feel free to be creative outside of those things you have to follow though.
I want the animators to have some artistic input as well, because obviously if I was talented enough to do animation I wouldn't be asking others to help me bring the story to life. Other than the sizes, character designs themselves, and actual script and storyboard, have fun adding artistic flares to the audition.
Once the members of the team have been picked and the full product is completely put together the full scene will be published on YouTube and I'll also use it to announce the team. Have fun auditioning!

Here you can see the Race Sizes in the world of Shades of Heart. Sara (wolf with the sword and wings) is a female Angel and Dark (darker wolf that transforms) is a Female Demon. That means that yes, Dark is bigger than Sara is. The numbers to the side also indicate how tall they are (feet wise) to the shoulder. In other words, the tallest character on the list labeled "Ancient One" is Six Feet Tall to the shoulder.

This is Dark. She is the main character of the series. She tends to sound rather bored and calm all the time, and she isn't one to talk much about her feelings. There are times however when she can get a darker attitude especially when battling. She hates the war she was born into and despises fighting the sworn enemy of the Demons, the Angels.

This is how Dark looks after she transforms, with three tails, a long tongue, strange teeth and glowing red eyes. Don't be put off because of her body though. Her demon form is called the "Black Mist" because her body is basically made of mist. She has no true form, so don't worry about making her look "perfect". The only constants are her eyes, teeth and tongue. Her tail and legs remain mostly the same shape, but her body and the darker parts tend to move and create odd shapes because she is insubstantial. She is also no larger in this form than her normal form.

This is Sara. She is, again, smaller than Dark and tends to get easily angered and upset, especially when her mother is brought up. Her wings are large and kind of fidgeting because she is upset. She can also summon a Claymore (giant sword in the animation) that is magical and can allow her to injure Dark's more Magical second form in battle. Her weapon is a simple weapon, shown below, that is purple and silver.
