Production notes

Every story starts as a cast and a setting. Those are drawn once, then used as reference for every picture in the story, so the characters stay themselves from beginning to end.

The cast

Model sheet for Max — **Max** the curious explorer robot

a small silver robot with glowing blue eyes, thin arms with claw hands, and a compact body with a round head, wearing a space helmet

Sounds curious and bright.

Model sheet for Luna — **Luna** the wise navigation robot

a tall white robot with smooth edges, a large circular screen on the chest displaying star maps, and two antennae on the head

Sounds calm and clear.

Model sheet for Robo — **Robo** the strong maintenance robot

a bulky grey robot with thick arms and legs, square-shaped body, a visible wrench symbol on the chest, and a helmet with a visor

Sounds deep and steady.

Model sheet for Zora — **Zora** the fast messenger robot

a slender red robot with streamlined limbs, glowing yellow eyes, a jetpack on the back, and a small digital display on the wrist

Sounds quick and energetic.

The setting

Background painting of A spaceship interior where four robot friends share space adventures. — **A spaceship interior where four robot friends share space adventures.**

The interior of a bustling spaceship characterised by sleek metallic walls gleaming under soft, ambient blue and white lights. Control panels with colourful buttons and holographic displays surround the crew, while large viewport windows reveal the vastness of space dotted with stars. The ship's corridors have a polished silver floor reflecting the gentle illumination, combining advanced technology with a cosy atmosphere.
