Recently, Toonwerks announced a project it's had in the works for a little while along side 'Legends of the Black Book'.
This one's set in space! And takes place on a cruise liner that travels the universe, daring to relax where no man has relaxed before.
This time the members of Toonwerks split the writing process 3 ways, each tackling the characters we're best at working with, as well as applying our artistic sides towards what we do best as well. For me, this is again background art and set design.
I had the idea for this as a full length film some years ago but never had the ability to really get it off the ground. After discussing things with Toonwerks, we saw it for the true potential it was, as more of a sit-com style series with multiple episodes that dwell on different characters or aspects of the ship. Each episode will only be about half the length of Legends part 1 (about 3-4 minutes) so that we can focus more on art and delivery. We're drawing inspiration from a lot of sources on this one. If it's sci-fi, we've probably got an idea for a way to produce it in this universe.
That's all I'll say for now without spoiling to much, we'll have more updates soon!

Watch Carl Sagan's Cosmos series, it'll give you plenty of good ideas about the universe, stars, planets.. and pretty much anything to do with space =)
I like the ship design, looks very nice =)

I actually have read it! it's a good read. I think Carl Sagan is the first man to ever explain wormholes in a way that makes sense to me lol.
