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 Lumo

Lumo a curious space explorer

a small, spherical robot with a shiny white metal surface and two big blue glowing eyes, equipped with tiny antennas and light panels

Sounds soft and curious.

Model sheet for Vento

Vento a swift messenger robot

a slender, angular robot with a silver and teal body, long thin limbs, and a head shaped like a streamlined jet helmet

Sounds quick and clear.

Model sheet for Fajro

Fajro a strong repair robot

a bulky, red and orange robot with a broad chest plate, sturdy arms ending in multi-tools, and a helmet with three glowing amber lines

Sounds deep and steady.

Model sheet for Nubo

Nubo a wise navigation robot

a tall, elegant robot with smooth white and light grey metal surfaces, a transparent dome head filled with swirling blue lights, and fine articulated fingers

Sounds calm and measured.
