The women behind the frames.

Studio Floor

Sixteen women of one invented studio, every one an AI character drawn as a grown adult. Look through the cels, or go straight to the storyboards and walk over.

Pin all sixteen again

Four-Panel Storyboards

Sixteen storyboards, one per woman, four panels each with her note in the margin. Narrow them by where the evening takes place and how it feels, then walk over: her chat starts from the four panels, which serve as your opening. Everything is text.
