Colors
I wanted Lefty's room to be a colder, tron-esque space to run his constant calculations, mainly using cool, dark grays, with warm red-orange accents.
Boomer's room, on the other hand, would have warmer shades of brown and gold, with turquoise accents, much like the interior of Doctor Who's Tardis, but with a more modern coffeehouse feel.

Initial Character Design
For Boomer, I want a Doctor Who type eccentric with a wide range of facial expressions to communicate the intense emotion that Lefty has to moderate.
I want a sleek, futuristic look for Lefty, with not quite as much emotion as Boomer, but with enough humanity for the audience to connect with.
