Concept Artist

We are seeking a talented and experienced 2D Artist/Concept Artist to join our dynamic team on a new game project. We're looking for someone to help design a massive new game world buzzing with smart AI characters. This is your chance to sprinkle your creative touch on a cutting-edge AI-powered game. It's all about making the game more fun and engaging for our players. So, are you up for this thrilling journey? Join us and let's redefine gaming together!

Responsibilities:

• Create visually compelling environment concepts that define new game locations and mechanics, focusing on mood and atmosphere, and collaborate closely with the Game Director & Lead Artist.
• Create prop design sheets that effectively communicate design details and aesthetics, providing guidance for 3D artists during the modeling process.
• Create highly polished key art pieces (Character illustration) that can be used for marketing purposes and in-game presentation screens.
• Work collaboratively with other environment and character artists to ensure a cohesive visual style throughout the game.
• Provide feedback and paintovers to the wider art and design teams, actively contributing to problem-solving and maintaining high-quality standards across the game world.
• Understand the game's vision, actively participate in playtesting, and effectively navigate game environments using Game Engines (Unity / Unreal 5) for debugging.

Requirements:

• Game Art Experience: Proven ability to design captivating characters and beautiful aesthetics tailored specifically for games. A deep understanding of the genre's distinct art styles, romantic appeal, and player expectations is essential, as our next major project will be a game!
• Proficient in Photoshop with expert-level capabilities, and familiarity with a variety of 3D software pipelines to approach concept work from different angles.
• Proficiency in creating detailed and descriptive prop design sheets, including clear annotations and callouts, to facilitate the modeling process for 3D artists.
• Strong artistic background with a solid foundation in traditional art skills.
• Excellent understanding of color theory, composition, and perspective.
• AI-Augmented Workflow: Hands-on experience incorporating generative AI into your creative process. We see generative AI as a catalyst for human ingenuity—a workflow enhancer meant to supercharge your art, not replace your unique voice.
• Generative AI Proficiency: Experience utilizing AI tools such as Nano Banana, Flux.2, Gemini, or Seedance 2.0 (ComfyUI experience is a strong plus). You should know how to leverage these tools for brainstorming, generating style tests, visualizing multi-angle views, colorizing, or creating animation tests from still artwork—without overusing them or substituting raw AI generation for final, hand-crafted assets.
• Passion for Emerging Tech: Enthusiastic about the ways the latest generative AI technologies can empower creative talent, with informed opinions on which tools are the most helpful and effective.
• Broad knowledge of video game development processes and an awareness of budget constraints.
• Comfortable delivering work in various formats, including 3D blockouts, thumbnails, loose sketches, and more detailed pieces.
• Effective communication skills, both in conveying ideas in a timely manner and working collaboratively within a team on a daily basis.
• Adaptable to working within given briefs and meeting deadlines while tailoring your approach to the specific task at hand.
• Open to receiving and integrating feedback to continually improve your work.

Additional Desired Skills/Experience:

• Prior experience in the game industry, whether indie or AAA.
• Experience working with mobile games.
• Experience with creating game assets such as UI design.
• Passion for AI, sci-fi, anime, escape room games
