I love Ronald Searle's illustrations to Dickins A Christmas Carol. Recent animated versions (i have'nt seen the Jim Carey/Zemekis version) tend to be bland and uniform. Nothing tops Richard Williams 1971 TV short . I always wanted to try animating a tiny bit but only got round to trying out character designs like the above . Its so hard to capture Searle's drawing style and then animate it. Uli Meyer (umbackagain.blogspot.com) animated a walk cycle of a character from Dick Deadeye which was spot on. I'll get something done hopefully that doesnt look too bad to share.
