  • Collaborating with Narrative and Gameplay teams to pitch ideas and strengthen world building from an Art perspective. Communicating intent and thought process with concept designs and motivate how they fit in with the world.
  • Learning about and playing the game, making sure concept designs are informed and well-researched.
  • Researching subject matter relating to objectives to ensure an authentic experience with real-world connections.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in the field of Concept Art for games and/or movies
  • A strong portfolio showcasing your attention to detail, abilities to illustrate and design concept artworks and present your results with believable lighting and polished rendering quality
  • Knowledge of 3d modeling or sculpting applications like Blender, Maya, Zbrush or equivalent
  • A strong foundation in traditional art, color theory, composition, perspective, anatomy, and lighting
  • A great understanding of visual design principles and concept art pipeline from ideation stage to the final rendered image.
  • Expertise in digital illustration software such as Photoshop
  • Understand the limitations of the game development pipeline.
  • Excellent communication skills across multiple departments and different personalities, proactive mindset towards resolving challenges.
  • An ability to take direction and apply feedback from team members as well as sharing your own ideas to help improve overall output from the art team.

Nice to have

  • Experience in adjacent disciplines such as quest design, environment art, gameplay programming, or VFX — especially where it enhances how characters and creatures interact with the world and the player.
  • Have shipped 1 or more AAA games
  • Major recognition in your field of work
  • Experience in adjacent disciplines such as quest design, environment art, programming, etc.
