I did this mashup of rough character sketches for the HF teaser site. After all, only Buck (the bird with the smoothy) made it onto the page: www.huckle-berry-finn.com

Less is more.

  5. Florian, everything you do helps to harmonize the universe some more! I like the idea of the character layout and it's really fun to look at. Then again, you wouldn't want to give all the characters away. I also agree, less is more.

    Beautiful background too!

  6. Your designs honestly give me faith in humankind. By the way, are you using watercolours on your designs, or is it photoshop?
    Keep up the amazing work.
