Haha! Awkwardly enough I work in the same room as the dude who did level art on that game, I asked him if he's ever played Grim Fandango and he said:
"Yes."
I asked if he put a reference in on the skulls for the Aztec temple... He said:
"No."
I asked if he liked Grim Fandango, he said:
"Totally!"
So he didn't consciously add them in there but he seemed pretty sure that he didn't do it on purpose! Too bad! It woulda been awesome. Then again, they were both working with a predefined style in the first place!
"Yes."
