Drawing on this cross-border knowledge, Shaw and character designer Huy Vu created a wide range of initial character sketches. Working with TAXI 2, they narrowed down the options to arrive at the main look for Tabador. From there, Shaw and the BENT CG team developed a computer-generated character with the big, theatrical physical performance of a pro wrestler and the heroic, suave personality of a classic Luchador.
