• Texture assets using Substance Painter, Photoshop, or similar tools to achieve the desired style.
• Collaborate with concept artists, riggers, and animators to ensure seamless character integration.
• Maintain artistic and technical consistency across all assets.
• Participate in feedback sessions, iterating on designs to achieve the highest quality possible.

What we're looking for:

• At least 2 years of experience as a 3D Character Artist in games or film, or a portfolio demonstrating equivalent ability.
• Proficiency in ZBrush, Maya, Blender, or 3ds Max, along with Substance Painter and Photoshop.
• Strong understanding of anatomy, form, proportion, and surface detailing.
• Experience creating both stylised and realistic characters.
• Familiarity with modern game engines such as Unreal Engine or Unity.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across departments.

Why join:

• Competitive salary and structured onboarding with personalised training.
• Flexible hybrid working and a strong focus on work-life balance.
• High growth potential in an ambitious and supportive studio environment.
• Opportunity to work alongside talented professionals in a dynamic, international setting.
• A creative and collaborative atmosphere where your ideas can make a real impact.
