New Character Line-Ups

Lol, don’t worry, I’m not taking things to literally, it’s all just fun

Do you think Madeline have inherited Angela’s or Ted’s height genes? 🤔

@Dominic Cellini, I think old people would appreciate care bots at this size so they don’t feel like they’re manhandled by a tall orderly guy from a retirement home (but still have the strength of one at that size).

Dr. Rodin

@3DCinetv, I get it now that the parents are workaholics that they might look a lil emotionally stiff until they unwind like the bed scene in the last comic. Maybe it wasn’t a good design choice to have the nanny bots pretty small if they’re gonna juggle so many tasks that typically takes a whole staff of servants to do.

Dr. Rodin

I think people feel more safe with smaller robots in the house.

Dominic Cellini

I wouldn’t take the height differences too literally as they’re pretty stylized. But Ted is meant to be on the tall side, probably around 6’2 I imagine if he were a real person.

Dominic Cellini

I appreciate how Madeline's height is not measured at her cranium, but at the apex of her ponytail.

When it comes right down to it, this is a cartoon. Their proportions are bound to be significantly different than in real life. Anyway, I'm so glad we get some art this week!

People are focusing on how tall the Nandroids are, but can we mention what an absolute unit Ted is? Being conservative, let’s say Madeline is 3ft tall, nearly a full foot less than the lower average for her age, this means Ted is nearly 6 and a half feet tall, big man.

Michael McKinney

by the gods!!!! they are so adorable!!!! don't know how you do it dom

This is a great piece of art work. I really like how your talented enough to show so much of each of the nandroid’s personalities in just one picture.

@Lurker45, it seems a lil bit of a flaw to make the nandroids having to use a step ladder to reach stuff, but I suppose they can’t be too tall to a child. Also the dad looks like a GIANT compared to the bots, he couldn’t be average height 😐😐😐

Dr. Rodin

I think it's a balance between being smaller than an adult to be more approachable to a child (literally closer to being on the same level) but being large enough to usefully navigate a house made for adults. They're still pretty short, though; they'd have trouble reaching high shelves without a step-ladder.

Wow 😳

Now that I’m looking at the new designs and the previous, the nandroids look a lil dainty, but we know they’re designed to to take on growing children. Maybe to sell an image that nandroids have a lot of power in a dainty package (the droids looks like dolls in their packaged box when they first arrive).

Dr. Rodin

Oh I remembered some of the early drawings of Emmy with those pupils now you mention it. It’s a nice blend of the old and new in the designs here. 👌

Dr. Rodin

The nandroids always had "eye pupils even in early concept art. But I think I've just become better at drawing them having done so so many times now.

Dominic Cellini

Ok now the nandroids don’t look like walking stick figures with dresses on them now. But also, EYE PUPILS or whatever something that makes eyes go 👁. The characters look more attentive, living except for the parents. Is it deliberate? 🤔…
