Job Description
We're looking for a concept artist to help during pre-production of our new game about a field biologist interacting with mundane and fantastical urban wildlife.
We're targeting a stylized, non-photorealistic art style that echoes classic fairytales. Although our game is inspired by real world biology we'd like our aesthetic to be less realistic. Ultimately we're trying to evoke the wonder and terror of biological life which fairytales feel like a good match for.
Our core touchstones include:
- Biology -- the mesmerizing beauty and horror of the natural world
- Classic (unsafe) fairytales -- Arthur Rackham, Ivan Bilibin, Aubrey Beardsley, Jim Henson's Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal
- Unsettling strangeness -- Junji Ito, John Kenn Mortensen, Mrzyk & Moriceau
You'd be working on a mix of character designs (some humans, some animals, lots of fantastical creatures), environments, and exploring visual ideas for gameplay and cinematic moments.
This is a freelance, remote position. If you think you'd be a good fit, please contact us.
