OK, so I am working out a storyline as described in an earlier entry using a gypsy-ish character somewhat inspired by Monsieur Fleur from Cirque du Soleil. Here's a picture of Monsieur Fleur:

My character will be a bit darker and not quite as richly dressed, of course. I am going for a Eastern European feel, too... so this is leading me to musical themes, and I will likely do a polka for the main character theme (kind of fits in with the "Czech School" of animation, too).
Now I need to find an accordion player... :-)
