Your Favourite Martian; Storyline and changes

The main story of your favourite Martian is one that doesn't follow a strict storyline. the main premise is that 4 friends started a band at an unknown time. their main goal is to become famous and spend most of their time messing around but over all protecting each other. It should be noted that in the song 'tig ol bitties" the character of Axel was not there; implying he met the others later on. This would also indicate a closer relationship between the original 3.

Any fan of Your favourite martian would know that the story line is one that is rather vapid and lacks in any kind of linear story. The band had a spin off series animated by animonster. the series had 11 episodes with about 3 minuets of content each. along with the 43 songs with roughly the same time this would equal around 162 minuets of content to work from.

My mindmaps detail the little we really know about the band and its members.

In this project I've decided to change the gender of the characters because id find it interesting to translate their personality traits from male to female. I feel like this would give me some freedom to change the source material enough to have something that was original yet reminiscent.

If I was to piece together a story Id say that it was a group of friends who met in middleschool who drempt of being famous and getting money and women.

There are a few running gags from the series;

• Axel's capsules; a series of cut away gags where the character (Axel) explains something and it comes across dumb or inaccurate.

• Puff Puff's pining for female attention (sometimes Tig exclusively)

The reason I wanted to change the gender of these characters was for a few reasons; one being that I feel like the fans would kill me if they saw me change the source material only slightly. To change the gender completely and not carbon copy the key looks and just add a bigger chest, hips and longer hair would be alot more fun as an artist (see below) and I wanted to toy with the idea of the opposites attract troupe.

In this project I will primarily be focusing on the main character Puff Puff, but extra information on the other characters personalities will be found here.

The visual look of the original Your favourite Martin circa 7th Dec 2011 was met with a mixed reception by fans. The characters took on a less abstract look and implanted more of a masculine look, the tone of the group became harsher with what most of the fans saw as nihilistic and "gross out humour". I wanted to keep the aspect of more realism but with more of a feminine touch and flipping the gross out humour to more clever and pop culture humour. (as the band originally intended)
