We are seeking an experienced 3D Concept Artist to join our creative team on a contract basis. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the entire creative execution of the concept—from concept through final creation—including thumbnail sketches for initial layouts, basic 3D wireframes, shading, color and lighting sketches, and final high-resolution artwork. You will ensure the environment designs align with our artistic vision and project requirements.
