-Disclaimer that we were exploring designs of Muerto (representing Mexico) wearing a poncho, but was since cut and changed from this check-in as to not stereotype.

Toon Link video game style was picked for the character stylization and cel-shading look of the short.

- Old Man: I explored silhouette shape while keeping a tall, muscular look to his tennis athlete structure.

The group decided upon an upwards tennis racquet shape and silhouette to show his top-heavy menacing characterization.
