We are looking for a character artist to create enemy creatures for our unannounced dark fantasy/sci-fi first person shooter for VR and PC (Non-VR), inspired by games like Doom, Quake, Devil Daggers, and Hyper Demon.

We want to hire someone with experience that is confident about jumping into a new project with a small team that will give them lots of freedom to help design and produce monsters with a unique identity that mesh with our overall vision.

These characters will fit into a roster of enemies for a rapid-fire co-op campaign experience, and our ideal character artist will help us pack as much variety and interest as possible into a very tightly scoped game.

Requirements

• 2+ years professional character art experience
• VR Capable (Access to standalone HMD preferred)
• 3D Modeling, Sculpting, Rigging, and Animation experience. Any 3D package is OK but Maya would be very beneficial.

• A portfolio with relevant work or strong work examples

Responsibilities

• Author assets that will scale PC down to mobile VR headsets while maintaining a strong visual identity
• Work with the art director to translate monster ideas and 3D concept sculpts into engine ready characters
• Approach work holistically as a collaborator in a small team and always prioritize communication
• Author high poly creature/character sculpts/models where desired, retopologize, UV, texture, rig, and animate characters

Good to Have Qualities

• Experience authoring concept art for monsters, animals, or creatures
• Experience and desire to work with Maya, Zbrush, and Substance Painter
• Experience animating quadrupeds, birds, and/or unconventional body plans
