Finally, after years of thinking about it I had a moment (because I was sick and not quite up to doing any actual work) to draw something for Otfried Preußler's Krabat 🦴 From left to right - Tonda, Jura, Hanzo, Lyško, Stašek, Petr, Merten, Michal, Kubo, Andruš, and Kito (I only know the Czech names, sorry!)
