    I need advice/tips for using and choosing a name for webcomic/adult animated series pitch idea

    Discussion in 'Plot Development' started by oraxa, Apr 6, 2023.

    So I'm planning a storyline for a potential webcomic/pitch for an adult animated series in the future and the main characters are both humans and anthropomorphic alien-like creatures that behave just like humans. The setting is Hollywood/Los Angeles, California (c. 2005-2012) with backstories in Virginia/Washington DC, (1990s-c. 2004). The main character is a young male (half white half Indian, bisexual, has a prosthetic arm due to being born with a birth defect, about college-aged in the beginning, like between 18-22 years old), with amazing acting talent and singing voice, whose parents worked in Congress (House of Representatives) and now work as analysts/strategists for different political parties (Dad works for DNC, Mom works for RNC)., who ends up a rising star in Hollywood with his talent and looks. Along the way, he meets a bunch of.... interesting characters like a mutated gummy bear born the result of fallout from Chernobyl, a happy-go-lucky Southern co-star, a clique of alien-like girls who the majority will do anything to start a species war and an impulsive, unstable, gothic talent agent who seeks world domination. Forgot to mention the character is also very outspoken and this will sometimes land him in hot water. But he's a generally likable person regardless.

    One of the names I had in mind was "Hollyweird" (not trying to pander to QAnon or other conspiracy theorists with this), since there are weird characters and weird stuff that happens in the story. But I'm not sure. Any advice or tops on using and choosing a title name?

    Unfortunately "Hollyweird" has been used several places, including a 2019 movie. Copyrights aside, you'll want yours to be the first search result, so I wouldn't use that. Do you have a good, unique name for the main character? A lot of comics are named simply after the MC. The last one I got into was just named Newman. (Great comic, by the way, sort of a comedy/urban fantasy sort of thing.)
