The original Oddworld team (Oddworld Inhabitants) is no more, but a UK-based indie developer known as Just Add Water has picked up where the original creators left off. J.A.W. is exactly what an indie company should be; games made by the fans for the fans.
One such fan, who I met in the early aughts through an Oddworld fan forum, now works as J.A.W.'s studio coordinator. He approached me with some graphic design work that their in-house artists couldn't complete because they were bogged down by other responsibilities. The opportunity was too good to pass up.

I was almost certain J.A.W.'s ceo, Stewart Gilray, would have some revision notes for me, but he didn't! All the feels when someone tells you your work is perfect. I may or may not be working on a few more of these in the future. I'll be sure to post about them here if that ends up being the case.
