I'm incredibly busy. I was going to reply to this once I'd actually read the script, but haven't had a chance to do that yet, much less pull out descriptions needed for enviromental drawings (which is what I'm best at). So I'll try, but no promises.
Hello from the Urplefilms Ltd. production team: Trojie, Cassie and our newest addition, KG.
We've collected almost everyone's lines now (Ansela, Pads and Plat, yes, we ARE looking at you), so we're looking for people to start drawing pictures for us!
Before you all start complaining that we've not given you any details, we've decided to be incredibly generous and share the entire script with you. We're looking for environments such as RCs and other rooms, and character sketches. There are plenty of details to be found on the PPC wiki about characters, too.
Movie script - due to the sheer length of it, we've split it into five documents. There are a wide variety of imags in each document, so feel free to read through and draw whatever catches your interest.

Ignore the highlights on some bits; they're for our convenience and have no bearing on what we're asking you to do.
Any artwork you do can be sent to either Trojie or myself (though if you send it to me I can't guarantee when it'll be looked at). You people who regularly comment on this subject should have our email addresses by now. If you don't, well...
Trojie - trojanhorseshadowfax at gmail dot com
Cassie - cassie.dramateacher at googlemail dot com
Could you just email me all of them? I'll try and take a look when I have free time.
I'm somewhat busy, so it may be a few weeks before I get anything in in any case, but what would you say to images in... distinctly unrealistic styles? Specifically, that of The Order of the Stick? I can do that pretty well, at least for fairly standard-shaped people (as opposed to, for instance, insectoids or multi-headed creatures), but I worry that it wouldn't fit with other submissions or the tone of specific sections.
So if you have the inclination to do so, please feel free to send me pictures in that style.
As it stands, we have (off the top of my head) seven 'threads' in which the action happens (each thread follows one set of characters), and we're hoping to keep the art in each thread as similar as possible, but each thread's style will be different to all of the others, because obviously we are going to have a large number of artists, all of whom will only have limited time etc for doing this, so we'll probably marry up artists with similar styles for each thread. The whole thing will either look like a) an artsy montage of styles or b) a mess, but ... well, let's hope for a), shall we? :)
Long story short, please do send me any artwork you do - there's nothing to say that one thread can't be that sort of artwork.

and if you *can't* manage, we understand :)
... and colour pictures way back at the beginning of my gallery, so you can work on them from those: http://chelonianmobile.deviantart.com/
...if I save some of those pics to my harddrive in the shiny new MOVIE ART folder for reference for when we send things to animators?
Remind me to do character sheets of Drake and Naomi for kitsune106, I think he wanted me to do some.
...but I'll try.
I'm good at drawing figures, but scenery and landscapes make me FAIL. Utterly.
I'm going to be doing some scenery etc because I can do that, whereas I FAIL at figures :)
