Role and responsibilities: We are looking for a concept artist who can create strong visual concepts for game characters, environments, buildings, vehicles, props, and UI-related assets, moving from research and thumbnails to polished, production-ready artwork. Practical knowledge of AI art tools and structured prompting is a key requirement. The role involves interpreting briefs, controlling style and composition through prompts, and refining outputs with sound art fundamentals and Photoshop skills.

Responsibilities:

Create thumbnails, moodboards, layouts, sketches, and polished concepts for game characters, environments, buildings, vehicles, and props.

Research relevant art styles and comparable games, then present visual references and concepts to the project team.

Collaborate with the team to interpret briefs and develop artwork in the format each project requires, including 2D concept art or 3D-related concepts.

Use AI tools and structured prompts to explore ideas efficiently, then refine the results through artistic editing and quality checks.

Incorporate client and team feedback while maintaining consistent perspective, proportions, lighting, colour, and style across assets.

Manage assigned timelines, document feedback, and raise unclear requirements or delays early.

Stay current with game art techniques, design trends, and production tools.

Requirements:

Required Qualifications: 2 to 3 years of concept art or game art experience, supported by a strong portfolio.

Strong drawing, painting, composition, colour, and design fundamentals.

Hands-on experience with AI image tools and the ability to write clear, controlled prompts for different game asset types.

Ability to identify and correct AI-generated errors, including anatomy, perspective, object consistency, and unwanted details.

Strong Photoshop skills, including layers, masks, paint-over work, and organized production files.

Ability to take an asset from a rough idea through to a clean, usable final design.

Good communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work with feedback and deadlines.

A degree or certification in Fine Arts or a related field is welcome, but portfolio quality and practical skills are more important.
