Note
I used soft colors and rounded shapes for a nostalgic, light-hearted feel, and rendered in Cycles rather than EEVEE for its gentle noise. Over the "imaginary" scenes I drew doodles by hand to progress the story and add whimsy. One inspiration was the Calvin and Hobbes comics I read growing up — a character imagining a stuffed animal with a life of its own.
