Quay Brothers

I had a look today at Quay brothers short films. Great stuff. It is very obvious that they have been influenced a lot by Eastern European art which isn't alien to me as I was growing up in Lithuania through 80s and 90's. Some of the animation that I ended up watching as a kid was quite arty, not quite the usual Disney stuff. :)

Character Design in a nutshell

So far haven't been able to find much info about the stages in  character design. My best find so far is this video from YouTube. I guess it has all the basic info. If I find anything else related I'll add to this post.
