A series of hand-drawn animation sketches inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas. Characters have elongated limbs, expressive faces, and slightly exaggerated proportions. The environment is whimsical yet eerie — crooked houses, twisted trees, foggy moonlit skies, and gothic details. Use a muted, desaturated color palette with tones of grey, blue, purple, and faded orange. Lighting is cinematic, with deep shadows and glowing highlights. The texture looks like stop-motion puppets made of painted wood and fabric. Style reminiscent of Tim Burton’s gothic animation, with a magical and melancholic atmosphere. Highly detailed linework, soft lighting, and a slightly grainy, handmade feel.
