Animation Stage 2 - Character Franchise: Thoughts and Ideas

I've recently been trying to find reference images for my two mime characters but it's been difficult because initially I thought I wanted reference images drawn specifically for the task at hand, but then found that might not be possible.

So I looked for generic reference images but couldn't find anything relevant; mostly images of women or bulky muscley men.
In the end I had a search for other names (in different languages) for Mime and found a list of mime artists. Then I realised who I have unconciously based my characters on: Buster Keaton and Fatty Arbuckle

So now I'm searching for vintage photos (preferably full body shots) to use as my reference image. I'm going to try model Buster now and i'll post again later tonight after I see how it goes.
