Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This is a bunch of steampunk rabbits starring Rabbit King and his friends and foes. We create the dark humor style series by combining the industrial future-retro style with the “soft” rabbit image to bring visual impacts. In the story, Frankenstein created the Rabbit King and his friends. They go on an adventure to find the legendary Blue Feather. The Rabbit King is brave, upright, and full of wisdom, acting as a agent of justice. We hope to pass on an attitude of actively seeking truth.
- Inspiration
- Grown-ups can believe in fairy tales too, and Rabbit King is the guardian of fairy tales in grown-up’s dream. He is a warm and innocent guy and is so adventurous. He goes on to search for the Blue Feather that represents hope on behalf of all of us who are busy making a living. We hope that Rabbit King and his kindhearted friends can express a kind of friendship and happiness between partners. We do not want to convey a single esthetic. Rabbits can go steampunk, and you can be whoever you want.
