  • Collaborate with animators, character designers, and writers to ensure the environment enhances the story and character interaction.

  • Apply principles of perspective, lighting, color, and composition to support storytelling and atmosphere.

  • Handle feedback professionally and revise designs as needed.

  • Manage multiple design tasks while meeting deadlines in a fast-paced, creative environment.

  • Available to meet twice weekly via webcam with an engaged presence.

  • Ability to adhere to Brand Guidelines, Brand Strategy, and Creative Direction.

  • Proficiency in digital illustration tools (e.g., Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint).

  • Ability to visualize spatial depth, mood, and worldbuilding through background art.
