Character Design
Style Frames
La Casa
Your typical telenovela set, with homely furniture, elegant cream walls, and a conveniently long staircase just asking for someone to dramatically tumble down it.
Office Noir
A moody, monochromatic detective’s office. Light filters through the blinds and newspaper clippings cover the walls. It is the perfect place for any jaded private eye to contemplate his findings on the newest murder case.
The Cemetery
Gray and dreary, with constant rain and seas of black umbrellas. Headstones sit in grids along the property, illuminated by the occasional flicker of sheet lightning.
