As a Senior Concept Artist at Riot, you will be a key driver in bringing champion skin ideas to life and create benchmarks for 2XKO’s illustrative needs. Drawing inspiration from as little as a napkin sketch or as much as a full-blown narrative concept, you will generate ideas and craft designs that are resonant, compelling and iconic. As a problem solver, first and foremost, you will help come up with visual solutions for game concepts.
As a Senior Concept Artist on 2XKO, Riot’s upcoming fighting game, you’ll partner with the Concept Art Manager as you work across disciplines to build foundational ideas and character concepts. You will also work collaboratively with designers, writers, and producers to bring the project’s characters to life.
When submitting your application, please provide a portfolio of your high-quality character concept art - including stylized artwork. And as a part of the application process, you may also be asked to complete an art test.
For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players. We will be looking at your past studies, experience, and your personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players' experiences, this could be your role!
