  • Mentoring junior concept artists and providing guidance to elevate the team’s overall skill level.
  • Contributing beyond your core expertise by supporting various aspects of visual development, including paintovers and defining material sheets.
  • Staying up to date with industry trends, tools, and techniques to improve workflows and drive innovation.
  • Assisting in the recruitment and onboarding of new team members.

Requirements

  • Proven ability to create high-quality digital art in a professional setting.
  • Strong foundational skills in anatomy, color theory, composition, and figure sculpting.
  • Expertise in designing characters, vehicles, and weapons from loose exploration sketches to fully rendered concepts.
  • Experience in graphic design, fine arts, and 2D/3D modeling.
  • Proficiency in Photoshop, Illustrator, and ZBrush.
  • Ability to incorporate 3D problem-solving into the concept design process, including modifying, rendering, and compositing 3D models to achieve the best results.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a proactive and collaborative attitude.
  • Ability to take feedback constructively, anticipate revision needs, and work efficiently with minimal supervision.

Pluses

  • 3D software such as Blender, Maya, or 3D Studio Max.
  • Significant experience (10+ years minimum) in the Visual Development processes for games animation or VFX.

Submission / Portfolio requirements
