Job Description
We are looking for creative, fun and professional concept artists with creative flair for a role in the visual expansion and development of our products. This role is unique as it requires great artistic skills, but also experience with product development, branding and marketing. An interest in and knowledge of video games and video game development is desirable, but a positive outlook and great set of skills is paramount!

The role will involve working closely with our CEO, CFO and development teams to visually evolve and develop our products whilst maintaining the artistic goals of the original vision.

Concept artists will be creating sketches, digital paintings and fully realised materials of characters, environments and other assets. They may also be utilized to help define the artistic vision and produce materials for websites and other marketing for our products.

Proficiency in these areas is extremely desirable:
  • Photoshop,Illustrator and traditional painting/rendering techniques
  • Traditional fine art skills (illustration, painting, human anatomy, organic forms, colour theory, perspective, 2D & 3D design)
  • Artistic and technical familiarity with marketing material, graphic design, storyboarding, colour keys and 2D character turnarounds.
  • Understanding of the fundamentals of 3d packages is a plus
  • Some familiarity with video game product development including, but not limited to workflow, tools, limits of technology
  • Communication, organisational, time management, interpersonal skills and ability to react effectively to changing priorities within projects
You do not need tertiary qualifications or a huge number of years of experience - although this would definitely come in handy - but the most important thing is that you are fun, professional and able to work well with everyone at Halfbrick!
