The series features an animation style that mixes [2D animation](/source/2D_computer_animation) and [CGI animation](/source/Computer-generated_imagery).[16][17] The look of the series was inspired by *[Star Wars: The Clone Wars](/source/Star_Wars%3A_The_Clone_Wars_(2008_TV_series))*, *[ThunderCats](/source/ThunderCats_(2011_TV_series))*, and *[Aeon Flux](/source/Aeon_Flux)*.[3]

Director Charlie Bean explained "the idea was to create a distinct style for the CG show not seen elsewhere on television or in film."[18] He worked closely with art director [Alberto Mielgo](/source/Alberto_Mielgo), character designer [Robert Valley](/source/Robert_Valley) (animation artist for the [Gorillaz](/source/Gorillaz) music videos) and lead vehicle designer [Daniel Simon](/source/Daniel_Simon), who was previously responsible for many vehicle designs in the *[Tron: Legacy](/source/Tron%3A_Legacy)* feature film, including the light cycles.[19] Mielgo won the [Primetime Emmy Award](/source/Primetime_Emmy_Award) for his art direction in 2013.[20]
