Droners is an animation series produced by Chouette Co with Supamonks and Cybergroup Studios. It was directed by Sylvain Dos Santos and Gregory Leterrier in 2020. Bill Otomo conceived most of the characters, backgrounds, and props for the show. In his first role as Art Director, he led a talented team of designers, which includes well-known industry names such as Charles Lefebvre, Gaelle Autin, Jean-David Fabre, Benedicte Ciaravino, and Denis Rousseau, among others. The story of Droners takes place in TerraAqua (a world that is 95% covered by water) where Corto, Oro, Enki, and Mouse (the series protagonists), strive to win the Whale Cup, the most extreme drone race of all time. The pictures on this page are a collection of artworks created for this series.
THE STORY
TerrAqua is boiling more than ever! Indeed, the biggest, wildest and most incredible Drone competition ever is about to begin. All the best Drone Teams for all cardinal points of this watery world are coming to Whale Island to face each other off throughout a series of epic and whacky races, designed by the most brilliant scientist of TerrAqua, Wyatt Whale himself! It will take all the skill, wits and creativity they have to thwart the inventor’s many traps, thus getting a shot at Whale Cup! Those are the heated circumstances under which Team Tikis, comprised of Corto, Enki, Mouse and their G.EN.I.E. Oro, set foot on Whale Island, with every intention to emerge victorious. Even though they’re Drone races’ novices, they’re really determined, since the survival of their whole archipelago depends on their success! Winning the Whale Cup would indeed allow them to become Wyatt Whale’s assistants, and have access to his technology to prevent their home islands from drowning into the ocean’s depths…
