I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here and join the character cameo creation session.
Future Agents the Movie often has scenes that take place in public, or in the presence where many other agents can be seen walking by. Now that Part 1 is out of the way, the more public scenes will occur and I need some designs for background cameos.
Some basic rules to consider are:
There are three different types of cameos that will appear in the movie at this moment and time:
1. Schoolchildren - Particularly in scene 2, there's a moment in time where a few school kids, including Maddie, can be seen. I plan for them to have a very basic school uniform with a white short sleeve dress shirt and navy bottoms. Maddie's uniform looks like this:
The only alterations to the uniform are skirt length (fingertip length to ankle length), and you can interchange skirts for pants or shorts (fingertip length or longer) of the same color. However, you are free to add accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, watches, sweaters, backpacks, headbands, scarves, or other hairpieces! There aren't very many spots for this type of cameo, so if lots of people design school kids, I can't use them all. Sorry!
2. Agent Uniforms - Agent cameos have an opportunity for lots of appearances. I'll only be accepting very basic agent uniforms at the moment. You cannot alter the uniform under any circumstance since it is government issued. You can however add/remove pouches/holsters (Note Maddie has a pouch for a knife and Amy has a holster... thing on her leg).
If you want to design an individual in a suit, you are also more than welcome. The suit and tie can be any reasonable color as long as it looks business professional! (No purple Willy Wonka shticks accepted at this time
)
3. Crowd/Individuals - This is where you can be as customizable as you want as long as you're within the guidelines listed at the top! There are lots of crowds in the FA universe, so there are always cameos needed. An important note to make is that military fashion is super popular within the FA timeline. If you are unsure what military fashion consists of, Google Images gives a lot of good examples. You can also use your own judgement. Not everybody abides by the fashion trends so you can deviate from military fashion if you want, but a majority do. Another thing to remember is that most of this movie takes place in the middle of July. So heavy winter military coats may not be the best option. However, it does take place in Seattle so the weather hovers around 75 and it rains a lot.
Limit yourself to one school design. I won't set a limit for agent and crowd designs, though they may not all be used, depending on how many I receive.
The deadline is indefinite. This will be ongoing as I tackle the movie project.
I can't guarantee the use of every character.
Remember that I monetize my videos (I make like $0.50 per video so it's pretty pointless) but I still have to let you know that your design will be featured in a monetized video. You will not be compensated in money.
It would be SUPER helpful if you placed your username on the design sheet for my reference. I'll make a folder of cameo characters and I know that down the road I'll forget who designed what (UNLESS YOU PUT YOUR USERNAME ON IT). I will do my best to list everyone who designed a cameo in the video description or to update/share on my Tumblr.
You can post your design on here, Tumblr, or both.
If you have any questions, you're welcome to message me or comment here. If you aren't interested in designing a cameo character but you still want to help, send me a PM and I'll see what you can help with.
Happy designing.

Some basic rules to consider are:
- The characters shouldn't have any over the top features (neon hair colors and green skin aren't really acceptable... they're background characters and I don't want to detract the attention from the main characters.) You can have unique eye color or highlights though.
- The uniform/outfit design should be followed as closely as possible (unless otherwise noted).
- You can include your original character, if you want. You cannot include licensed characters or anyone else's OC.
