Pre-Production
I want to continue with Monkey Saves the Daypaint and trim down the story.
Stylistically, I've always been inspired by Craig McCracken's Power Puff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
Foster's human characters have thin black outlines and no shading (that I can see) There's variation in the Imaginary Friends, but none of them are consistently outlined in black where it's mostly used to create texture or emphasize the eyes. Tone shading also comes and goes.
The backgrounds are elaborate with patterns and colour drawing the eye around the screen. The rules of perspective don't always apply.
The characters have strong, consistent black outlines with thing inner lines and no tone shading. The backgrounds are strongly graphic, play with perspective and create strong silhouettes. The buildings and backgrounds are the most appealing part of the style of both of these cartoons because I am crap at perspective. This probably isn't as easy as it looks, but I'd be willing to give "wonky" a try.
