Stuff I like

Characterdesign

First some stuff from the my '50-folder

More modern stuff from Arthur de Pins

Backgrounds

First some "old" Yogi-stuff

More modern stuff (Scott Wills)

And Jesse Schilderpoort

Pretty important is that the characters don't "melt" with the background. For example, look at Yogi, you can see him very clear. The audience doesn't want to search for your character in a scene :).

So the styles have to match, but not melt!
