SENIOR ARTISTS AT BSG...

You are considered a master of your craft and have the leadership qualities necessary to pass that knowledge down while completing your own independent work.

You have experience leading teams across various AAA titles and have solid cross-discipline exposure.

In addition to influencing the project's artistic design, you also set the bar and are responsible for the productivity of your team, meaning you do not shy away from the accountability that comes with a supervisory role. You are a clear communicator and are an expert at providing actionable feedback without making anyone cry!

  2. Provide direction and feedback to environment artists to ensure quality and style consistency
