About Us
At Orbital Ignition Interactive, we’re not just designing a mobile game—we’re forging an entire world, stylized and dripping with faction flavor. Our flagship title, Taliara’s Rise, is a mobile fantasy strategy game loaded with dice-driven depth, vibrant cultures, and AAA mobile design.🚨 This is an unpaid role until funding is secured. Yeah, we get it—but what we’re building? It’s worth the leap.
The Role
As our 2D Character/Concept Artist, you’ll design the visual essence of Taliara’s champions. From eerie arcane necromancers to forest guardians grown from bark and bone, your designs will fuel the imagination of 3D artists, animators, and players alike. You’ll define iconic silhouettes, faction-specific aesthetics, and that extra “whoa” that makes a character unforgettable.
You’ll Be Responsible For
Designing expressive, stylized character concepts that scream personality
Creating model sheets, turnarounds, and callouts for gear, clothing, and anatomy
Translating faction vibes: Leafborn – nature-born, elegant, organic Stoneclad – brutalist, armored, mineral-inspired Ageless – arcane, decayed elegance, magical motifs
Iterating quickly based on feedback from creative leads
Collaborating with 3D artists to ensure designs feel achievable and optimized
Contributing to the broader visual development of the Taliara universe
