Concept Artist - Characters (junior)

The Ubisoft Sherbrooke team is pleased to welcome new graduates to join us on Far Cry!

If you've always dreamed of working in a renowned studio like Ubisoft, but prefer the proximity of a smaller team with personalized support to launch your career, this is the perfect opportunity for you. At Ubisoft Sherbrooke, you'll be working directly with industry experts, including veterans of renowned franchises like Far Cry, where you'll be able to exchange ideas and learn the craft. This is your chance to launch your career in a dynamic and positive environment, contributing to a AAA franchise, all in the heart of Sherbrooke.

As a Concept Artist at Ubi Sherbrooke, you'll lay the groundwork for the artistic team to create the memorable characters players will engage with and enjoy. You'll provide the artwork that will serve as references, and guide the visual styling throughout production as all artists work towards a common goal. 

You are a visionary, a thinker, a developer and an interpreter of ideas, able to be inspired while also inspiring others. You understand a vision and let your creativity guide you as you freely explore styles and designs in your medium of choice. You’re eager to receive your colleagues’ feedback and enjoy the challenge that comes with the continuous, iterative process of working and reworking your art until you communicate the correct visual design language.

What you’ll do

• Partner with the art director to develop the overall vision of a game (set the tone and ambiance, key moments, emotional contrasts, etc.).
• Produce sketches and quick iterations (digital or paper).
• Create concepts of characters from existing references or from scratch.
• Propose concepts to the artistic team and discuss possibilities.
• Adapt your artwork based on feedback.
• Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints.
• Refine your concept art to illustration by adding layers of detail.  

What you bring

• Experience in concept art in the video game industry or other relevant experience
• Knowledge of digital painting and 3D software (e.g. 3DS Max)
• Understanding of art fundamentals: lighting, composition, architecture, anatomy, etc.
• Open-mindedness and flexibility
• Excellent communication and presentation skills (you can share your ideas and explain your creative process)
• A collaborative spirit
• A whole lot of creativity and curiosity

What to send our way

• Your CV highlighting your education, experience, and skills
• A portfolio of finished and preliminary work – seriously, show us your sketches!  Attach images or send us a link to your personal website or online portfolio.

Just a heads up: If you require a work permit, your eligibility may depend on your education and years of relevant work experience, as required by the government.
