🌸 Role Description

This role is for a Concept Artist on a cozy, character-driven mobile game, designed for short, daily play sessions.

As a Concept Artist, you will own and drive the game’s visual identity from early concept to release, shaping the character, environments, and moments that define tone, emotion, and player connection.

🛠️ What You’ll Do

• Own the visual concept direction for characters, environments, props, and key moments from early exploration to production-ready handoff
• Create high-quality concept art for characters (expressions, poses, outfits), environments, and interaction props that define the game’s cozy, emotional tone
• Lead visual exploration and mood development through research, references, and moodboards, translating loose ideas into clear visual direction
• Establish and maintain style consistency across characters, environments, cosmetics, and live-ops content
• Collaborate closely with the Art Director, Game Designers, and 3D team to ensure concepts translate cleanly into 3D models, animation, and in-game assets
• Design live-ops–ready content including outfits, themed sets, seasonal visuals, and new interaction elements
• Provide clear visual callouts for scale, materials, and usage to support downstream production
• Iterate quickly based on feedback, gameplay needs, and production constraints while maintaining visual quality and intent
• Act as a visual problem-solver, proactively identifying gaps and proposing solutions that enhance character appeal and player connection

✅ What We’re Looking For 

• 4–8 years of experience in mobile casual, simulation, or cozy games
• Strong 2D concept art and illustration skills across characters, environments, props, and key moments
• Ability to define visual direction and style from early exploration to production-ready concepts
• Proven experience designing expressive, stylized characters with emotional range and personality
• Experience creating environment and prop concepts that establish mood, scale, and storytelling
• Experience in Storyboarding to convey visual narratives and enhance storytelling
• Strong understanding of mobile-first readability, visual hierarchy, and constraints
• Comfortable owning features or content areas and driving them from concept to handoff
• Ability to translate research, references, and moodboards into clear, cohesive visual language
• Strong understanding of artistic principles such as anatomy, composition, and colour theory
• Ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams and incorporate creative feedback
• Knowledge of Indian Mythology and Culture is an advantage.

✨ Why Join Us

Join a small, creative team building a charming mobile game from scratch. You’ll have high visual ownership, close collaboration, and the chance to see your ideas quickly come to life.
