2D Artist

We're an AA studio. Small enough to stay flexible, experienced enough to make ambitious games. The vision is set, and feature teams own their part of the game and decide how to get there. You shape the game, not just execute tasks.

Our culture

• Openness and honesty. Share ideas freely, and give and take direct feedback.
• Calm and focused. We don't crunch, and we don't panic. Sometimes we sprint to hit a goal we've promised, but that's the exception.
• High standards and accountability. We hold our work, and each other's, to a high bar, and we take responsibility for the game and the studio.

We're playful and professional. We take the work seriously, not ourselves.

We share our office in central Umeå with two other game studios. Umeå is a university town with short commutes, reasonable housing, and a good life for families.

The role

We need an artist with a 2D and UI focus to create the visual side of the game's interface and its 2D art. We are a small team, and we sometimes work outside our ordinary roles.

What you will do

• Create UI art: icons, frames, buttons and screen elements
• Create 2D illustrations and art for the game
• Work with our Technical UI Designer to build UIs with your art in the game
• Keep the visual style consistent across the UI
• Work with art direction to develop the look of the game

We are looking for

• Experience as a 2D or UI artist in games
• Experience building UIs in Unreal
• A portfolio that shows 2D and UI art
• A strong sense of composition, color and readability
• Experience with Photoshop or similar tools
• A strong interest in UX design and layouts is a big plus
• Able to work full-time on site in Umeå

Extra bonuses, but not required: You play 4X and/or Strategy Games. You enjoy fantasy RPGs (tabletop or computer). A passion for medieval/low fantasy aesthetics. Likes the style of the classic romantic painters Caspar David Friedrich, Johan Christian Dahl and Arnold Böcklin.
