Job description

Games Workshop has an exciting new opportunity for an experienced commercial digital artist to join our renowned in-house Illustration team to help create the evocative and imaginative images seen throughout the Specialist Design Studio’s range of printed products.

With a deep passion and understanding of our IP, and a keen eye for detail, you will be able to quickly and accurately create digitally manipulated photographic scenic backgrounds and battle scenes that will feature within our range of The Horus Heresy printed products.

We’ll look to you to use your creative talents of photo manipulation to expand our catalogue of immersive and impactful art that chronicles the many battles that were fought over countless worlds during The Horus Heresy.

Driven and with a strong desire to succeed, you will constantly seek to improve your skills and knowledge as you work to enrich the visual look and style of the product range. Previous experience as a digital artist within a commercial studio is essential as we’ll look to you to work to a given brief and meet scheduled deadlines enthusiastically in a design team environment.
