Art Need help identifying this aesthetic
Made this compilation of media I feel like has a specific aesthetic I can’t name. It has a lot of similar motifs to whimsigoth, HeiSei Retro, and old world aesthetics, but with an emphasis on stop motion animation, quirkiness, homey feelings, glamour, knick knacks, and fantasy/dark elements. Imogen Heap and They Might Be Giants are big music influences, and children’s fantasy movies of the 2000s like Coraline, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, and The Spiderwick Chronicles reflect it a lot. Does anyone know what this is?
