What entry level game art roles exist?

Most studios hire juniors as 3D artists, environment artists, character artists, animators, VFX artists, UI artists, and technical artists. Internships and trainee programs are another way in, and ArtBlast lists those too.

What does an entry level game artist earn?

Junior game artists earn $50K-$70K in the US, rising to $60K-$82K at mid level and $82K-$125K for senior artists. Pay varies by country, city, and studio size.

Can I get an entry level game job with no experience?

Yes, but your portfolio has to do the work that experience would. Many entry level postings still ask for one or two years, and studios regularly accept strong personal or student projects in place of it.

Are there remote entry level game jobs?

Some, although junior roles are more often on-site or hybrid because studios like to train new artists in person. Every ArtBlast listing shows the work model, so you can filter for remote roles.
