Due to the versatile and cross-disciplinary nature of a Concept Artist, they need to work closely with other crafts and have great communication and collaboration skills.

  • Play the game, participate in playtests and provide feedback
  • Create plans for content production for the level
  • Work with and review content from relevant external partners

We would love if you have
  • Minimum 3 years of relevant professional concept art experience
  • Experience from character concepts is a plus
  • Excellent visual skill set and deep artistic understanding and knowledge
  • Follow directions and deliver to quality from a visual, game play and technical perspective
  • Always work to support the product, game and the team, not to make pretty pictures
  • Great communication and collaboration skills
  • Understanding of the technical aspects of the game, memory and performance
  • Great understanding of the the game play experience of the game
  • Great appreciation and knowledge for visuals within multiple mediums, such as games, fashion, nature, architecture and movies
