About the role

We take great pride in creating and offering our players a wide range of different art styles and themes in our games. As a Game Artist, you’ll take on the exciting challenge of transforming early concept art into pixel‑perfect final assets, while also crafting original concepts and artwork from the ground up. You will be part of the whole process from concept within pre‑production, where you define the look and feel of our games by creating captivating and unique concepts. You will help shape the narrative that will inspire and guide the team throughout the production process, and also finalize the polished assets to be delivered in the final product.

A typical work week as a Game Artist can consist of:

Concept creation: Create concepts for art elements; backgrounds, symbols, environments, character, props, framing etc.

Asset Creation: Craft a diverse array of high‑quality 2D game assets, UI element designs and polished headlines (typography) prepared for seamless handover to our expert animators. Your sharp eye for composition, color, perspective, and lighting will be critical in ensuring the highest standard of work.

Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work closely with Producers, other Artists, Animators, Programmers and Product Owner to collaboratively build “best in class” iGames.

Communication: Partner with the Creative Lead to follow the unique art style of each game. Be open to feedback and take the initiative to independently enhance and perfect your work, while still ensuring it aligns with the creative vision.

Innovation: Push the boundaries of what is possible in the realms of iGames to create visually stunning and memorable experiences.

You have a keen eye for detail, a strong sense of polish, and a standout portfolio showcasing everything from rapid concept sketches to pixel‑perfect rendering for stunning iGaming experiences.

To thrive in this role, you bring at least 4 years of experience crafting 2D mobile assets within the iGaming industry. You excel at balancing speed and quality during early concepting, always finding innovative visual solutions within technical limitations.

As a natural team player, you collaborate seamlessly across disciplines and welcome constructive feedback. You are self‑driven, organized, and deliver high‑quality work on deadline. Additionally, you bring a visionary mindset, with a genuine curiosity to integrate modern AI tools into your workflow to elevate our creative output.

Qualifications

Polishing & UI Expertise: Skilled at polishing game assets to perfection, ensuring every detail shines and aligns with the creative vision. Experienced in creating intuitive UI elements that enhance the player experience, seamlessly combining functionality with captivating design.

Software skills: Expert knowledge of Photoshop. Knowledge in 3D is a big plus but not required.

Portfolio: A captivating portfolio demonstrating excellent artistic ability including the effective use of color, composition, and typography.

Creativity: A passion for art and a sharp eye for detail are essential, along with the ability to adapt to various art styles. Your understanding of animation will be crucial, as you’ll help create assets ready for seamless animation.

Passion for Gaming: A passion for video games and an understanding of what makes them visually engaging and immersive.
