Experience and skills we are looking for:
  • 3+ years of professional experience as a 2D artist, ideally in the games industry
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating skills in concept art, illustration, and polished production assets
  • Proficiency in industry-standard software (e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate, or similar)
  • Ability to adapt to and work within an established brand/IP
  • Understanding of how 2D art supports the game production pipeline
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
