Fantasy Art House

The genre I ended up choosing for my film was Fantasy Art House.  Because of the story line and it's background it does remaina fantasy film but to avoid to many stereotypes and give myself more artistic freedom I've gone for Fantasy Art House.  This is also the genre that Mirrormask (mentioned earlier) falls under. 

Here are some examples...

You can see that this genre is a bit quirkier than your usual fantasy film and that there is more room for an original visual touch and unusual material use which is pretty crucial for an illustrator.
