More references, aka research fodder

I've been searching through old Bugs Bunny cartoons, and I came across one that I must have watched 100 times when I was little. This classic is filled with all kinds of (admitedly indirect) reference material for my project. (If Warner Bros uses a book to fill in exposition, than gosh darnit so can I!)



Here is a "secret unlock" from the game The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. Yes, video games now have embedded interviews with voice actors. It's great, I love it. Anyway, this one features Elijah Wood as the voice of Spyro. Spyro flies, looks around, breathes fire, etc., all things I will need eventually. There's actually some decent reference if you can get past Lij's inane conversation.



Mitch sent me this really great reference from an SVA student, Catherine Yoo. Some of the animation is good, some of it is okay. I really like the textures and the colors. I'm kind of going for the same moody lighting, but probably a different color scheme, one with more green/reddish and less blue/orangish color triads. (I love the embed tag).
