Art jobs in Malaysia

As Lead Artist (Generalist), you’ll define and uphold the visual direction for a wide range of projects from stylized 2D to AAA-quality 3D games. You’ll lead a multidisciplinary art team, establish best practices, and ensure every asset meets a high creative and technical standard across Unity, Unreal, and potentially proprietary engine pipelines.
