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)

• 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.
