Characters from Sarah Jolley’s hit animated short, “Skip.”
vimeo.com/34817753
I really love this short film - it’s one of my fave animated shorts of all time. I even mentioned it in SCAD as an example of animated short ideas as references (before making my own short film later on.) It has great storyline, while how the main characters (who are in different genres) became very close.
According to the blog modmad.tumblr.com/ , the characters’ name are Arthur and Mesi. While I love the characters, Arthur has to be my top fave of all. I can’t help but not only he was based on the great silent film actor, Buster Keaton, but also reminded me of Victor Van Dort (one of my fave Burton characters who inspired me) from “Corpse Bride.”
If you haven’t seen this short film, go and check it out.
PS: Referenced from Sarah Jolley’s Skip art in her tumblr blog to help me out to draw these characters, including the model sheet tips:

And the storyboard, where Mesi crossed her arms with a flirty expression in page 5:

Enjoy.
