I wanna be a cartoon maker man so it only seems fitting for my pinned to be a list of cartoons that are inspiring me creatively
[ignore le aesthetic yaoi owu](/j)
Preamble for fun and adhd demanded it: Hi! I'm Remington, and I'm currently developing an all-ages fantasy comedy cartoon about a planet full of the smallest creatures in mythology! From imps to leprechauns, fairies to dwarves, the entire lil planet is full of life. On the planet are two major land masses; The Mainland and The Currently Unnamed Island(s). Our main focus will be on the largest of the currently unnamed islands, in a town full of Gnomes! I do have more planned but obviously it's still very VERY early in development + things can change so I don't want to give anything super concrete beyond that [i will update names for the planet and the island though at some point in like eventually days i Prommy]
Anyways, I'm pulling from a few different genres of fiction, but particularly high/cozy/mythical fantasy, comedy, and family animation! It's going to be a delicate balancing act of small town adventures with fun, energized comedy [and some slapstick episodes because I can't help myself]
Enough rambling! My point is, this is just a lil working list for me to show my inspirations and also to maybe give a kind of better idea where I'm pulling from? It's not a direct copy of any one particular show [though i did definitely copy one particular trio's homework for one of my own trios but they're different enough flavors its okayyy], but this may give better insight to Le Vibe.
