We gave them soft, cold glows in the light with a little subsurface scattering, reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell. We toned down the contrast to give it a little "age".
The type of 90's anime I like was heavily influenced by live action films, so I wanted to emulate that drama with the framing of shots, the way things breathed.
1999 is a bit of a fresh direction for DE themselves, and they came to us already with a huge amount of contemporary references.
Both sides of the collaboration were incredibly aligned from the start down to the references, so I found all the material already spoke to that when I received it.
