Our studios in Agoura Hills, Novato, Orange County, Budapest, Shanghai, and Seoul are committed to artistry and technical innovation, offering top candidates the opportunity to learn and grow with some of the smartest and most creative minds in the industry.
Have you been drawing most of your life? When you create an illustration, are you obsessive about the inner life of every character, and the function of every object? Do you hear words but think images? Love to leap ahead creatively, translating ideas into inspiring illustrations that influence the direction of the final product even before most others have gotten to work? If you love using art to shape and inspire big, collaborative projects, we’re excited to talk to you.
We’re searching for an outstanding concept artist to join our Agoura Hills studio. In the role, you’ll design sets, locations, costumes, objects, color scripts and lighting schemes. You will work with our Art Director, art team, and many collaborating disciplines to help define the artistic vision of our game.
