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 other artists, animators and programmers to collaboratively build “best in class” iGames.

Communication: Partner with the Art Director and Creative Director 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 are creative and innovative and aim to find solutions which maximize the game experience in relation to the technical limitations. You have the ability to follow the game’s visual style and ability to adapt to multiple styles, for all visual material produced throughout the game’s development.

To thrive with us, you need to be a team player with a good ability to handle feedback and work together with different disciplines. You are self-driven, and responsible and strive to develop your skill and others constantly. It is important that you are organized and solution-oriented with the ability to tackle challenges and solve problems with a strong sense of ownership and deliver on deadlines.

Qualifications:

Experience: Minimum of 2 years of experience creating 2D assets with focus on mobile within the gaming or similar industry.

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.
