«I modeled these [penguins] from Florian Satzinger's designs. These became a focal point of my portfolio back in 2010 and ultimately landed me a Job at Disney. Huge respect to Florian's genius!»

Ryan Tottle,
Modeling Supervisor, DISNEY ANIMATION STUDIOS

«Florian Satzinger has a drawing style with a snap and verve that harken back to the best of classic Disney and mid 20th Century Warner Brothers animation. The lines with which he delineates his characters zing, bounce and swoop so delightfully that they suggest lively motion even before they’re animated. Satzinger credits Southworth as his major influence, and his work in the style of great classic hand-drawn animation shows his continuation of that tradition.»

«Florian Satzinger set the style for CTNX with the red "X" in the eyes in 2009. Florian designed the “X” in the eyes with his Ducks in such a appealing way that they have become a signature to CTN.»

«A classic vintage Mickey, with a Chaplinesque grin, follows the timeline of his past adventures... In the meanwhile, a new unseen Mickey is sipping a tea cup, waiting for new landscapes... Visions suspended between the past and the future, conceived by Florian Satzinger, the award-winning concept artist and character designer.»
