You will work closely with creative directors, writers, and production teams to bring imaginative worlds to life at unprecedented speed and fidelity.

  • Collaborate with art, concept, VFX, 3D, and animation teams to ensure stylistic consistency and visual alignment.
  • Stay up-to-date on emerging AI tools and best practices; propose innovative ways to improve workflow and quality.
  • Maintain visual coherence with the project’s creative vision and IP style guides.
  • Participate in worldbuilding, lore development, and pitch visualizations when needed.

Requirements

  • Strong portfolio showcasing expertise in concept design (environments, characters, props) and a keen eye for mood, lighting, and storytelling.
  • Proficiency with AI art generation tools and workflows (e.g., prompt engineering, inpainting, editing and upscaling).
  • Solid understanding of design fundamentals: anatomy, perspective, color theory, and composition.
  • Strong creative thinking, rapid ideation, and visual storytelling abilities.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard tools like Photoshop, Procreate, Blender, Unreal Engine, etc.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in fast-paced, iterative creative environments.
  • Passion for AI, emerging tech, and experimental workflows.
