Behind the scenes

How a world is made

From the first design sheet to the whole cast, following Vesper: The Little Lights.

01

The design sheet

Vesper's sheets fix how she looks from every side: the turnaround, her expressions, her poses, the exact violets of her hoodie and the details that never change, like the messy high bun and the glowing V.

02

The cast

The friends were designed together, so they read as one team: one colour and one emblem each. Every friend, and Vesper's mum and dad, has a design card: a turnaround, expressions and the details that never change.

  • Vesper
  • Nova
  • Umbra
  • Sky
  • Finn
  • Zara
  • Rex
  • Lila

The small details

On the first series poster, episode two's title came out as “Thay Everything”. It was repainted letter by letter to match the poster's lettering.
