Blizzard seeks Prop Artist - World of Warcraft

From fountain statues to tavern bottles to dungeon lanterns to massive siege weapons, the life of a prop artist is not for the static-minded. They fill the world of Azeroth with all the daily details that bring the game to life. They are the game designer’s best friend. There’s no telling what task will be needed next, so a Props Artist should be a swift and efficient modeler with strong painting skills an imagination in constant motion.
