Job Description

As a Concept Artist (Characters) at Ubisoft, you will lay the groundwork for the artistic team to create memorable characters players will engage with and enjoy. You will provide the artwork that will serve as references, and guide the visual styling throughout production as all artists work towards a common goal.

You are a visionary, a thinker, a developer, and an interpreter of ideas, able to be inspired while also inspiring others. You understand a vision and let your creativity guide you as you freely explore styles and designs in your medium of choice. You're eager to receive your colleagues' feedback and enjoy the challenge that comes with the continuous, iterative process of working and reworking your art until you communicate the correct visual design language.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with the art director to develop the overall vision of a game (set the tone and ambiance; pitch characters, emotional contrasts, etc.).
  • Produce sketches and quick iterations (digital or paper).
  • Create concepts of characters from existing references or from scratch.
  • Propose concepts to the artistic team and discuss possibilities.
  • Adapt your artwork based on feedback.
  • Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints.
  • Refine your concept art to illustration by adding layers of detail.

Qualifications

  • Experience in concept art in the video game industry or other relevant experience.
  • Knowledge of digital painting and 3D software (e.g. 3DS Max).
  • Understanding of art fundamentals: lighting, composition, architecture, anatomy, etc.
  • Open-mindedness and flexibility.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills (you can share your ideas and explain your creative process).
  • A collaborative spirit.
  • A whole lot of creativity and curiosity.

At Ubisoft, we believe diverse backgrounds and perspectives are key to creating worlds where both players and teams can thrive and express themselves. We offer a collaborative space that provides career advancement, a host of learning opportunities, and meaningful benefits centered on well-being. If you are excited about solving game-changing challenges, harnessing cutting-edge technologies, and pushing the boundaries of entertainment, we invite you to join us on our journey and help us create the unknown.
