At first, we envisioned a small, cute robot on a table that might have a small explosion effect, so I looked for something like a robotic arm design. Then out of consideration for space layout, I thought I could make the robot fly, similar to a helicopter-like design.
The overall style is more sci-fi, so I looked for some material references. And the shape of the design style is a little cute, so reference to many subjects are round, so that the audience feel that this is my “companion”, not aggressive.
