• You will lead the environment art pipeline, dependencies, and understand the overall scope of the project
• You will work with game design to prototype and build gameplay-centric worlds and levels
• You will build individual art assets, from foliage to city clutter, in a realism-stylized hybrid style with a painterly take

Requirements:

• 3+ experience as an Environment Artist in the gaming industry
• Demonstrate excellent foundational skills, including composition, design, structure, silhouette, sculpting, and color theory
• Strong knowledge of modern level creation best practices
• Familiarity with Maya, Photoshop, and ZBrush
