About the Position:
We’re seeking a Visual Development Artist with a passion for concept art, world-building, and visual storytelling. This role is about shaping ideas into compelling designs that span characters, creatures, environments, and entire worlds. You’ll create both finely crafted concepts and broad exploratory directions, working across genres from grounded realism to the fantastical. Using a mix of traditional tools and emerging techniques, you’ll help push creative boundaries in film, TV, interactive, and experiential projects
Key Responsibilities:
- Create visually compelling concept art for films, TV, interactive, and experiential projects.
- Generate both finely tuned concepts as well as broad-stroke, wide-net explorations to support creative development.
- Work across a range of genres including live action, animation, grounded, fantastical, and more.
- Design a wide array of concepts — from individual creatures, characters, vehicles, or props to entire scenes, environments, visual languages, world-building, lighting, and overall look & feel.
- Use both traditional tools such as Photoshop or Corel Painter as well as emerging ones such as ComfyUI workflows in your design process.
- Leverage 3D software (Blender, Maya, Cinema4D, etc.) as a plus for concept modeling and design exploration.
Qualifications & Skills:
- 3-5 years of professional experience.
- A portfolio showcasing visually compelling concept art across a range of subjects and genres.
- Strong design sense: composition, color, form, and visual storytelling.
- Experience in concept art or visual development.
- Strong creative curiosity and a willingness to experiment with new tools and emerging techniques.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Proficiency in Blender or another 3D package for concept design is a strong plus.
