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
Zed the scout drone
small spherical robot, shiny silver metal, blue glowing eyes, thin antenna on top, compact build
Sounds quick and sharp.
Ivy the repair bot
tall robot with a slender frame, white and green panels, arms ending in multi-tools, visor screen instead of face
Sounds soft and steady.
Milo the heavy lifter

The setting
Four robots explore colourful cosmos as a close-knit team.
A vast, dark cosmos dotted with vibrant stars and distant nebulae in hues of purple, blue, and pink. A sleek, silver spaceship with glowing blue thrusters hovers near a colourful gas giant planet, reflecting light across its smooth metallic surface. The scene is bathed in the soft, ethereal glow of starlight, creating a sense of wonder and companionship amidst the infinite expanse.
