Creative IP
Four distinct creative universes — each with their own world, characters, and visual identity.Vesperine
Victorian vigilante. Survivor. Living ghost. Adopted by her depraved uncle in the mid-1800s and abused by the men he invited in, Vesperine weaponised her appearance - skeleton makeup, coloured hair - until they feared her instead. She sent her uncle mad. Now she roams the moors with her pack of black hounds, a vigilante whose status among the living remains deliberately uncertain.
Biddy Flint
Orphaned at 13 - Biddy Flint was left to raise herself in a shark tank. She learnt the hard way in tower block poverty that survival requires cunning and resourcefulness.When trust is thin on the ground, family is everything; her family come with powerful jaws and unswerving loyalty. Which is lucky, because Biddy Flint has the worst of humanity on her doorstep.And someone has to take out the trash.

Too maximalist.Savage Wallflower is the character at the heart of the brand that bears her name - a living philosophy that defiance is beautiful and beige is a moral failing.
Pequeno y Grande: A Philozoic Worldview
