Cloud Imperium Games is looking for an experienced Lead Vehicle Artist to join our team!
The Lead Vehicle Artist will work closely with the Vehicle Art Director and Vehicle Content Team to facilitate the creation of spaceships and ground vehicles for Star Citizen’s Persistent Universe. They will oversee a team of Vehicle Artists, ensuring that projects are on track and in-line with the vision of the Art Director and Design Team.
Our vehicles range from small single seater fighters all the way up to capital sized ships and everything in between. Many of our vehicles have fully realised interiors, which makes this role a hybrid of vehicle artist and environment artist.
The Lead Vehicle Artist will be working at the leading-edge of development for the record-breaking crowd-funded project, space-simulation FPS MMO “Star Citizen” and the action-packed cinematic story campaign “Squadron 42” with its star-studded cast including Mark Hamill, Gillian Anderson, John Rhys-Davies, and Mark Strong (to name just a few).
Founded in 2012, Cloud Imperium Games creates cutting-edge videogames that defy expectations. We’re currently developing Star Citizen, a record breaking multiplayer online space sim, and Squadron 42, cinematic single-player adventure set in the same universe. Join us as we break boundaries and make videogame history.
