Job Description

Character Artist

We're looking for a Character Artist who can help define and execute the visual identity of our characters. You'll play a key role in elevating DreamWorld's overall look by creating compelling characters in a realistic art style that fit within our fantasy sandbox.

This is a highly collaborative role. You'll work closely with our Lead 3D Artist and potentially help shape the broader art direction of the game.

Responsibilities

  • Design and model 3D characters for DreamWorld (NPCs, enemies, player avatars)
  • Develop realistic, fantastical characters with strong silhouettes and a distinct visual identity
  • Create low-to-mid poly models optimized for performance
  • Work with the animation and tech art teams to ensure clean rigging/deformation
  • Contribute to the early development of a unified art style alongside other artists
  • Bonus: Help define art direction through mood boards, style guides, and creative input

What We're Looking For

  • Strong 3D character modeling skills (Maya, Blender, ZBrush, etc.)
  • Solid sculpting and topology fundamentals
  • A strong understanding of the PBR pipeline
  • A sharp eye for fantasy-inspired character design
  • Able to take ideas from concept to in-game ready
  • Comfortable working in Unreal Engine or willing to learn quickly
  • Bonus: Experience with rigging, skinning.
  • Bonus: Experience as an Art Director or interest in growing into that role.

Ideal Candidate

  • A highly motivated artist who's excited to define DreamWorld's visual identity
  • Either a Character Artist with a strong creative vision or an Art Director-type who's junior enough to be hands-on with asset creation.

How to Apply

  • Please submit your portfolio and resume for initial review.
  • If shortlisted, we'll reach out via email to schedule a call.
  • Selected candidates will complete a brief character modeling test.
