Bonus Experience (Nice to Have):

  • Prop Art – model and texture stylised props or prep assets for team handoff

  • Technical Art – shader editing, reactive physics for props or environments

  • VFX – basic particle effects for characters or environmental elements

  • Lighting – create lighting scenarios that support mood, palette, and art direction

What we’re looking for:

  • Excellent understanding of form, proportion, and colour

  • Strong hand-painted texturing skills

  • Deep familiarity with stylised asset creation pipelines for UE5

  • Comfortable with tools such as Blender, Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Photoshop , or similar

  • Ability to sketch or quickly concept visuals to communicate ideas

Why join this project?

Creative Variety – Work across disciplines on highly stylised, emotionally driven content
Tight-Knit Team – Collaborate with passionate developers, designers, and artists
