The images from top to bottom, left to right are as follows: a close up of a male's eye, the moon with red shadows/smoke surrounding it, a silhouette of a hand reaching for a disappearing male body, open pomegranates, a silver cross with blood coating it and the wooden table it's on, lit red candles, silhouettes of a person pulling someone closer by their chin, a closeup of roses on a black backdrop, a painting of a woman crying enlarged tears. A quote overlays the moodboard in white and red lettering, it says: "And when you find yourself utterly alone, you'll come find me just like you did tonight."

This is a grid with a large variety of photographs arranged in a variety of squares and rectangles.

Top row, L to R: 1) Tylor, a pale Northern Irish man with long, dark curly hair and wearing a black suit, is kneeling in a graveyard. His hand is on a marble tombstone that appears broken in half. Half of his face is a skull, and his brow is furrowed. 2) There is a little chair with a fuzzy white blanket on it sitting on a concrete floor. On the blanket is a red candle, a cross, a white statue of a veiled woman, and a framed sepia photo of a group of people. Other framed photos sit beside it. 3) A tall grey obelisk looms over other graves in a wooded cemetery. 4) A white church with blue-topped spires.

Bottom, L to R: 5) A woman is holding a boy's hand as they look outside at a tall skeletal papier-mâché woman on stilts smiling back at them. 6) A woman kneels in front of a colorful ofrenda, arranging flower pedals and beans into a skull on the floor in front of it. 7) The top of a spired tomb spikes out into the pale sky, surrounded by empty tree branches. 8) A dark mosaic floor is covered in tall lit candles. 9) Naveena, a British-Indian woman with brown skin and long dark hair, stands in front of a wall covered in foliage, dressed in black. A colorful rose and marigold crown sits on her head, holding a black lace hair covering in place. Her face has white lace patterns painted on it that mimic both mehndi and a skull. She is pushing her hair back, looking down pensively. 10) A white cross covered in lights installed into a yellow and red concrete wall. 11) A small doll is positioned in front of a mural. The doll is dressed in a black suit, has a skull face, and has a pair of antlers.

Tylor & Naveena are keeping secrets: he can talk to the dead & she is Death herself. No mortal can do what they do. The day they meet, they discover they've been looking for each other. Can they work together to save a missing girl, & themselves, before it's too late? #PicantePit #A #SP #Drafting

There is a grid of nine square photos with a dark blue background around them. All the photos are darkened and desaturated. In the top left photo Tylor, a pale Northern Irish man with long, dark curly hair and wearing a black suit, is squatting close to the ground beside a tree trunk with his hands clasped one over the other. The top middle photo is a series of silhouettes of gravestones, the faint outline of a mountain in the background. The top right is a paved bridge that extends into fog, with metal railings on either side and branches along the top edge of the image. The centre left photo is a blurred, dark image of lines on a road and a streak of a headlamp above. The centre middle is a starry night sky surrounded by black silhouettes of tree tops. Centre right is a lighter photo of a roadway and field beyond, with a white Mini driving on it. The bottom left photo is of several leafless young trees beside a lake. The bottom middle photo is a low-angle shot of a cobblestone wall and memorial obelisk atop it. In the bottom right image, Naveena, a British-Indian woman with brown skin and long dark hair, moves along a hedge in a black leather jacket with a wary expression on her face
