I have never read any of the Animorphs books growing, but I do remember seeing the covers as a kid and being fascinated by the TF sequences on the covers (even if there are memes about them these days). The books even feature an alien species known as Andalites which are like alien deer centaurs with bladed tails and even technology, though I will admit the fanart I've seen of the species does them much better justice than the official illustrations.

Originally the idea behind these drawings was that I wanted to doodle Akko and Diana from Little Witch Academia as alien species from an assortment of works about a year ago, but never got further than turning them into Andalites, due to having other commitments and the interest petering out. More recently this year, I thought of Constanze being one, and then had the idea of turning the rest of Akko's friends into them to see how I'd design them as Andalites while also looking up information about their biologies, and I will admit doing these have been fun to do.

Constanze is always tinkering with technology which made her a really good fit as Andalites also use technology in the books, which was why I drew her after Akko and Diana. To keep things familiar to her, I had one of her Stanbots assist her here.
