So i've been surfing the net for some specific images for a visual references. The idea of an alien and a robot has given me some thoughts about how i would approach the style and mood of this story. When i came up with this story initially, there was this game called Destroy All Humans on the Xbox which was released a while back, and i just loved the style of the game in terms of the design.
The design of the game was pretty colourful and vibrant as well as being toned. The artistic style i have in mind though for The Visitors is more simple, this is purely from a technical point of view.
I very much like the style of the dreamworks animation film Monsters vs Aliens. The design of the characters were pretty simple and colourful but what i had in mind was more or less simplicity but not too simple and flat. A more of a mixture between a simply stylized design with some detail.
Another influence for my story idea and the possible environment setting was a specific scene from the 1997 Men In Black film. Here is the scene from the movie in the link below

I found that scene to be really funny and simple too. So that sort gave me a template of how i wanted to create the scene for my story. In The Visitors, a spaceship crash lands and then these two characters come out of the ship and start bickering and arguing about what to do. So in terms of the mood, it will be tongue in cheek, funny and lively. It sets up a nice mood and atmosphere for me to use when i start developing the concepts.
