#MyFavoriteAnimatronic design is Daycare Attendant.

I love how it compliments the design sensibility of the series. So many designs play off of the, admittedly creepy, Chuck E. Cheese animatronics and then Day Care Attendant feels more FAQ Schwarz.

I grew up going to both Chuck E. Cheese and FAO Schwarz, but as a little kid the FAO Schwarz animatronics scared me more (especially the tree.)

I think part of why they were scarier is because they were less humanoid, but also because they felt more real?

Chuck E. Cheese's kayfabe / artifice always had holes in it because Chuck was somehow both on stage and wandering the restaurant at the same time. (And they both looked radically different from each other.) As a result, I never really had the sense that he was real. Meanwhile, as far as I knew, that living tree was the only living tree in the whole world. (It wasn't.)

One of the striking pieces of worldbuilding in Aether & Iron is how the floating NYC rests on the backs of an exploited and stigmatized underclass of “Aether Rats.”

I drew Lexi and Maria w/ swirling halftone eyes to evoke their gifts.
