  • Environments and backgrounds that set the mood and atmosphere of the game world.
  • Props, items, icons, and collectables that are clear and visually appealing.
• Design and illustrate marketing materials, promotional art, and key visuals (e.g., app store screenshots, splash screens).
• Develop concept art and initial sketches to establish the visual direction and style guides for new projects.
• Ensure all artwork adheres to the established art style, technical specifications, and production deadlines.

Collaboration & Technical Execution

• Collaborate closely with the art director and animators to ensure the art assets support gameplay mechanics and narrative themes.
• Efficiently prepare, export, and optimize 2D graphics (e.g., sprite sheets, atlases) for integration into the game engine (e.g., Unity/Unreal).
• Receive and proactively implement feedback in a constructive and timely manner.
• Maintain a high standard of quality, consistency, and technical accuracy across all deliverables.

✅ Essential Requirements

• 2+ years of professional experience as a 2D artist in the game development industry.
• Expert proficiency in industry-standard software, primarily Adobe Photoshop and a graphic tablet.
• Strong foundational art skills: Deep understanding of composition, color theory, lighting, perspective, and human/animal anatomy.
• Proven ability to work in at least one defined style (e.g., casual, stylized, semi-realistic) with a portfolio to demonstrate versatility.
• Experience in creating game-ready assets and an understanding of the technical art pipeline.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate artistic decisions clearly.

➕ Desirable Skills (Will be a Strong Plus)

• Familiarity with modern creative workflows, including the use of AI generation tools (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion) for concepting and ideation.
• Proficiency in vector graphics software (Adobe Illustrator).
• Knowledge of UI/UX design principles.
• Experience with basic 3D software (e.g., Blender) to assist with concept rendering or asset-based creation.
