I know it looks really plain but it is based on the way The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy looks in the movie. As you select the characters name their image changes from blue tones to full colour, and a little blurb about them appears in the yellow box. Note: the characters are my poor attempt to imitate Arithmetician's style in the "shaun of the dead" piece.

Pg 1 of the guide reveals ". . . an utterly insignificant blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive . . ." So since it is later revealed that he is descended from the Golgafinrcham we can also guess that the Golgafinrcham are "ape-descended life forms." Alternatlely we can assume that this entry in the guide is one of those where ". . . it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal or at least wildly inaccurate. . ."

Ok... probably partially descended from Golgafrinchans.

I think Arthur descended from a bunch of telephone sanitizers, marketing consultants, hairdressers and other middle men from Golgafrincham. :)
Apart from that it's a nice piece... although I have to agree with Opacus. If you for example try to stand in Arthur or Ford's pose you'll notice if you lean backward your hips will automatically move forward.

I love it! It would be cool to put these guys in a 2D platformer game!

Fantastic work, what a great idea.

What really bugs me is that all characters are out of balance. If they'd stand that way as real persons, they'd fall over.

Haha, very cool. I really like this :)
