Mission

As a Freelance Concept Artist, you'll play a key role in shaping the visual direction of our upcoming RPG.

Your focus will be on creating compelling character designs for heroes and enemies, following the art style guidelines of our project.

• Create supporting concepts for props, environments, weapons, UI elements, and other in-game assets.
• Explore multiple visual directions through sketches, silhouettes, mood boards, color keys, and ideation.
• Translate gameplay mechanics and design intentions into clear, compelling visual solutions.
• Work closely with the Art Director to maintain a consistent artistic vision across the project.
• Produce production-friendly concepts that can be efficiently translated into final game assets.
• Iterate quickly based on feedback while maintaining a high artistic standard.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including artists, designers, and AI specialists.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with strong concept art experience in game development and the humility, curiosity, ambition, and drive to make an impact fast. You're a great fit if you have:

• Professional experience creating concept art for games, ideally on RPG, action, fantasy, or stylized titles.
• Exceptional drawing skills and strong artistic fundamentals, including anatomy, perspective, composition, lighting, color theory, and visual storytelling.
• Ability to quickly explore multiple ideas while balancing creativity with production constraints.
• High proficiency in Adobe Photoshop (or equivalent industry-standard digital painting tools).
• Experience designing a wide variety of assets, including characters, environments, props, creatures, and key illustrations.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with artists, designers, and cross-functional teams.
• A proactive mindset, openness to feedback, and the ability to iterate efficiently.

Nice to have:

• Experience working with Unity or game engines.
• Experience creating paintovers or supporting 3D production workflows.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted creative workflows.

Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.
