What Will You Be Doing?

• Conceiving and visualising core concepts.
• Collaborating closely with designers to fuse great creative and design, in order to deliver outstanding creative gameplay.
• Effectively compose lighting, set dressing, atmosphere and more, to craft coherent and believable art that excites and emote the player.
• Work closely with other disciplines (VFX, audio, character etc.) to bring elements to life in a holistic way.
• Mentoring through example – inspire both the environment team and members of the wider studio to see your vision, learn from it and drive the creative beyond what’s gone before.

• An experienced team player with strong communication skills and a well-tempered and consistent attitude. Ability to effectively critique their own and others work, both respectfully and in way that inspires them to strive for quality.
• Strong illustrative and storyboarding skills are not essential but are a bonus when integrated into the world building process.
