About the role

As a Junior 3D Game Artist at fish in a bottle, you’ll be creating beautiful assets that help bring our games to life. From rocks and props and points of interest, to characters, you’ll help shape immersive, playful worlds that feel rich and full of life.

You’ll be working closely with other artists, developers, and designers to learn how great games are made, and we’ll support you every step of the way. We’ll encourage you to ask questions, explore new tools, and build your confidence in everything from texturing and lighting to optimisation.

• Developing and applying textures and materials, bringing depth, colour, and personality to your creations.
• Optimising assets for seamless performance across mobile, browser, and other platforms.
• Collaborating with designers, developers and other artists to ensure a cohesive and visually engaging final product.
• Working with Unity and / or Unreal Engine to implement and test your assets in-game.
• Refining and iterating on assets based on feedback, ensuring consistency with the overall game aesthetic.

• Experience of using Blender, or similar 3D software.
• A keen eye for stylisation, with a strong understanding of colour and composition.
