Dead Stuff With Big Teeth’s Art Direction: For our new erotic historical fantasy…what does the name “Dark Enchantment” suggest to you? Purple… and… pointy! EXACTLY!

Colette’s Art Direction: I want an attractive couple on another planet who wear ribbons instead of actual clothing.

It should imply “you have radiant womb” and not “you should immediately see a doctor about that.”
