The friendly cardboard robot

Visible joins and handmade controls are the charm, not a flaw to hide.

Illustrated field study

Build the look

Three decisions, then a wear test.

01
Set the base
Start with comfortable dark base clothing. Keep this layer comfortable enough to wear for the whole plan.
02
Make it readable
Add boxy cardboard torso and head frame as the clearest clue. Let that single shape do more work than several small props.
03
Finish, then test
Use reflective control shapes and flexible arms to complete the idea. Movement comes first: sit, turn, reach, and climb one step before adding more creature detail.

Source the missing pieces

Start with what you own. These searches are deliberately broad so the exact fit, material, and price stay in your hands.

Keep the idea. Change the expression.
