This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in our expanding team. Reporting to our Art Lead, you’ll be working closely with them and the rest of the team to research, generate ideas, and iterate on designs for characters, environments, weapons, vending machines, gumball traps, wipe clean shield covers, and things you find in horrible little dark corners…etc etc (you know the stuff!)

• A central member of the Art Team, contributing visuals to all aspects of the games we produce. These might include visualising large environments, decorative and functional props, VFX exploration, even marketing materials, expanding the direction from the Art Director and Lead Artist.

• Support and mentor the other concept artists, being a role model for the rest of the team.
• Contribute to the development of 3D assets with proactive and constructive feedback towards other Art Team members.
• Be hands on with the outsourcing vendors, supporting production with feedback and guidance.

• Have a strong architectural and mechanical design knowledge, with experience designing complex architectural structures like buildings, large open spaces and enclosed environments.
