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 Квик — **Квик** the ship's pilot

a sleek, silver robot with blue glowing eyes, slim build, wearing a simple harness with control panels

Sounds quick and sharp.

Model sheet for Тина — **Тина** the ship's mechanic

a sturdy robot with orange and grey plates, medium height, tools attached to her arms, one eye replaced by a multi-purpose scanner

Sounds calm and thoughtful.

Model sheet for Боб — **Боб** the friendly robot companion

a round, small robot with green accents, big expressive eyes, four short legs, a smile-shaped speaker

Sounds warm and soft.

Model sheet for Люси — **Люси** the chief security robot

a tall robot with black and red armour plating, broad shoulders, a visor over her two eyes, carrying a detachable energy baton

Sounds authoritative and steady.

The setting

Background painting of A small spaceship cruising peacefully through deep, colourful space. — **A small spaceship cruising peacefully through deep, colourful space.**

A small, sleek spaceship interior with soft, ambient lighting in cool blues and whites. The walls are smooth metal panels with glowing control interfaces. Outside large panoramic windows, a vast starfield sparkles with distant galaxies and nebulae in shades of purple and pink, giving a sense of infinite depth. The ship's cramped communal area is cosy with cushioned seats and a holographic table emitting gentle light, fostering warmth in the vast coldness of space.
