Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Embark Studios Full time

**At Embark Studios**, we're seeking a talented Character Artist to join our team. As a key member of our game development team, you will play an essential role in designing, building, and implementing characters and creatures that bring our games to life.

You will work closely with programmers, animators, technical artists, and technical animators to revolutionize the way we build characters in the future, within games and digital entertainment.

Your passion lies in surprising players with well-tuned and beautifully crafted experiences. You enjoy exploring a variety of games - sometimes deconstructing and analyzing, other times just playing.

You think deeply about how players explore and experience games, and you envision a future where players can create their own unique experiences.

You understand that experimenting is a calculated risk, but you have a knack for choosing the most strategic approach, and you know when it's time to declare success or failure. You ensure that meaningful innovation is balanced with best practices execution.

The responsibilities of this role include:

  • Creating highly detailed game character and creature models
  • Participating in playtests and providing constructive feedback on the game
  • Scanning characters and refining photogrammetry
  • Collaborating with your fellow game makers to achieve a common goal

We're looking for someone with:

  • A creative and curious mindset
  • 2 years of relevant professional experience within the game industry
  • A strong passion for art, games, and related technologies
  • An excellent visual skillset and deep artistic understanding
  • A great grasp of Game and Art Direction as well as technical constraints
  • Professional English communication skills

At Embark Studios, we offer competitive salaries, passionate colleagues to share knowledge with, and much more. We invite you to be part of a journey into the unknown, creating innovative, surprising, and beautiful experiences together.

We welcome game makers from diverse backgrounds and identities. We believe that the gaming industry benefits when everyone has a seat at the table.

Be yourself at Embark Studios and contribute to game development while doing so. Please apply with confidence.
