Valve reached out to me to create an animated background illustration for users of the Steam platform to use as their profile background. This meant an artwork that is screen wide with rather quiet visual in the middle section where the actual user profile would be overlaid and more contrast and interest on the sides.
Except for the requirement that there needed to be some transition to black towards the edges, I was giving creative freedom with the image’s content. I decided that a cute and cozy gamer bedroom might be something Steam users would be interested in.
