Company Description
Wonderstorm is a double threat media studio that creates timeless animated TV series and engaging video games that anchor our entertainment franchises.
Our first franchise, the Emmy Award-winning The Dragon Prince, began as an original animated series on Netflix in 2018. All three seasons have been a Top 10 digital original and are rated 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The series was recently picked up for four additional seasons. A world-class video game for The Dragon Prince is under development by the same creative team.
We’re looking for a prolific Concept Artist (Contract) whose curiosity and artistic ability will help to expand the world of Xadia through their beautiful creations.
What you will do...
- Generate inspiring art to expand and explore the world of The Dragon Prince, ranging from epic set pieces and bosses to silly creatures and skins

- Concept environments, characters, creatures, props, UI, and visual effects
- Regularly communicate with the art director and respond to feedback to iterate on work
- Develop concepts that inject story and narrative into designs, providing richness to the world (versus lots of variations with shallow narrative depth)
- Provide drawovers/paintovers on greybox/blockmesh levels and assets to guide environment artists
Qualifications
- 3+ years experience in concept art or visual development (or portfolio that displays an equal level of understanding and expertise)
- Strong traditional fine art skills, training, and production experience (illustration, painting, organic forms, anatomy, color theory, perspective, 2D & 3D design)
