A colourful lineup of the main characters from Text Not Set Studios' in-progress game Sleep Easy, for their site and social channels.

I was contacted through my Instagram by an indie studio called Text Not Set Studios, who were sent my way by a high school friend.

They commissioned a piece from me depicting a fun and colorful lineup of the main characters from their in-progress game Sleep Easy, to be featured on their site and social media to promote the game. They were amazing to work with, and I am beyond proud of the result and the positive feedback I received from them.

The Sleep Easy cast — a flower-gowned figure, a boxy armoured character, a small companion and a rabbit-hooded character, against a pink sky with trailing ribbons

How it came together

The earlier passes, sent to the studio as the commission progressed.
