Please take note that our home on the internet has moved to a new domain! This site hasn’t been updated much as we’ve been doing behind-the scenes work on the new one, which you can see at vonfluestudio.com.
We’ve been updating the new site with lots of recent work, a shiny new layout, extra portfolio work, lots of new posts and pages, videos and much more!
The plan is to use that site from now on. But we’ve left the Portfolio and Contact info here in the meantime and soon this site will be pointed to the new one and all the links connected.
So please bookmark the new site for all the latest info and updates! Thanks!

Here’s a look at our current project:
Notes on the crystalized radium forest of Planet 17.3
// March 29th, 2012 // No Comments » // Illustration
From the “Notes on Interplanetary Organisms”; Volume 32, chapter 9:
Planet 17.3 is home to many organisms that seemingly defy our understanding, the most beautiful of which must be the Crystalized Radium Forest, an organic mass approx. 1500 SQ. Earth-miles in size. Our understanding of the forest is comprised mainly from ancient records kept by the Kaolingi species. It is well documented that a “Jewel of Anthox” is one of the only substances considered deadly to a Kaolingi, and they have kept a close watch on the Forest’s spread over millennia.
The forest is composed of two main symbiotic organisms, the spiral-shaped “Anthox”, and the flat-paneled organism called they call the “Zaynox”. The area within the forest is highly radiated, and therefore the Anthox absorbs great amounts of radiation with it’s nutrients. As the Anthox grows, it separates and compresses the radioactive particles within it’s nutrients into a “lump” which amasses at the crown of the plant. This lump (called a “Jewel”) can grow to double the size of a man’s head before the plant finally builds up enough spring tension to eject a seed pod. After it has been used, it will succumb to the ravages of radiation and collapse. The Anthox stalk and it’s radiant jewel will eventually decompose.
The Zaynox grows at the base of an Anthox and uses it’s ethereal blue leaves in much the same way that Earth plants do, except that it collects local radiation from the Anthox’s jewel in order to power it’s “heart”. A Zaynox Heart creates an incredible amount of energy which if harnessed, could power a modern city. It’s leaves will clear an area of local radiation and it’s heart emits a great deal of heat, creating an ideal environment for a new Anthox to thrive.
All Moustachetronauts visiting Planet 17.3 and the Crystalized Radium Forest are required to insert Filters #8 and #32 in their Stasis Units prior to exiting their train.

Corporal Delbruck of Green Battalion, in orbit, wields a shard from the crystalized radium forest on Planet 17.3 (seen below.) It is the only know matter effective in killing The Kaolingi species and it’s minions.
