← Les robots et la station brillante
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
Léo the curious explorer
a small silver robot with round blue eyes, compact body and flexible arms ending in three-fingered hands
Sounds soft and inquisitive.
Mia the technical engineer
a medium-sized robot with a boxy frame, white panels marked with orange stripes, and a single glowing green eye in the centre
Sounds clear and precise.
Rex the strong protector
a tall robot made of dark metal plates, broad shoulders, thick limbs and a glowing red chest light
Sounds deep and commanding.
Nina the cheerful mechanic
a petite robot with bright yellow paint, round antennae on the head, and wheels instead of legs
Sounds bright and lively.
The setting
Four robots explore a distant, luminous space station together.
A vast, dimly-lit space station orbiting a luminous blue planet, featuring sleek metallic corridors and expansive glass observation decks. Soft, cool lighting highlights panels and controls, with stars twinkling beyond large windows.
