Employment: Full-Time / Long-Term

Position Overview

We are looking for a creative and experienced Senior Voxel Artist with exceptional artistic taste and a passion for building distinctive characters, environments, and worlds through stylized voxel art.

We believe great voxel art is not simply about working with blocks. It is about transforming simple geometric forms into visually appealing, expressive, and instantly recognizable designs.

In this role, you will contribute to the development of original visual identities and creative ideas, helping establish compelling art styles, explore new concepts, and bring distinctive game worlds to life.

We are looking for someone who combines outstanding voxel craftsmanship with strong creative instincts, visual storytelling, and the ability to think beyond individual assets.

Voxel Art & Creative Development

• Create high-quality voxel characters, creatures, environments, props, and other stylized assets.

• Explore distinctive visual styles, proportions, silhouettes, and color palettes.

• Develop creative concepts that give characters and environments memorable identities.

• Translate early creative ideas into compelling visual explorations and production-ready assets.

• Contribute to the development of cohesive visual worlds, original characters, and recognizable artistic styles.

Visual Identity & Artistic Quality

• Establish consistent voxel art principles covering scale, proportions, geometry density, color, materials, and detail.

• Ensure characters and assets remain readable, expressive, and appealing from different viewing distances.

• Experiment with creative approaches that push voxel aesthetics beyond conventional block-based designs.

• Maintain artistic consistency while introducing meaningful visual variety.

• Balance simplicity with personality, charm, and storytelling.

Production & Collaboration

• Create optimized voxel assets suitable for real-time game development.

• Collaborate with Art Directors, Concept Artists, Environment Artists, and Technical Artists.

• Participate in visual exploration, feedback sessions, and artistic reviews.

• Help develop reusable workflows and production guidelines for voxel content.

• Proactively contribute creative ideas that improve the overall quality and identity of the project.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in game art, voxel art, stylized 3D art, or closely related disciplines.

• Exceptional portfolio demonstrating high-quality voxel art and strong creative design skills.

• Excellent understanding of silhouettes, proportions, shape language, color theory, and visual composition.

• Strong proficiency in voxel creation tools such as MagicaVoxel, Blockbench, or equivalent software.

• Ability to create both individual assets and cohesive collections with a distinctive artistic identity.

• Strong artistic intuition for appealing characters, imaginative environments, and memorable visual concepts.

• Experience creating and optimizing assets for real-time engines.

• Ability to independently explore visual ideas and translate them into production-ready content.

• Strong collaboration skills, creativity, and attention to detail.

• Fluency in English.

Bonus Skills

• Experience contributing to original game IP development or early-stage visual exploration.

• Strong skills in character design, creature design, or stylized world building.

• Experience with Unity3D or Unreal Engine.

• Knowledge of procedural voxel generation, shaders, and material workflows.

• Familiarity with pixel art and retro-inspired visual aesthetics.

• Experience establishing art style guides and visual consistency standards.

• Ability to combine voxel aesthetics with other stylized 3D techniques.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to contribute creative ideas and help shape distinctive visual identities.

• High artistic ownership and freedom to explore original concepts.

• Collaboration with experienced artists and international creative teams.
