Job description:

Concept Artist (Machines & Weapons)

The Artistocrats is an established independent game studio in Hasselt focused exclusively on the creation of our own (strategy) game projects. We are growing our team to expand our current games - including DLC for Starship Troopers: Terran Command - and to develop future projects.

As a Concept Artist, you will work closely with our designers and artists to create sketches and concept art - such as vehicles, aircraft, weapons and buildings - for our current and future projects. These designs will serve as the base for the creation of detailed - and often fully animated - 3D assets.

You will create new additions that match the design styles already established for existing IP - such as Starship Troopers movie universe - and have a strong part in the design of new designs for future projects.

What you will do

  • Create sketches and concept art intended for the creation of high quality 3D assets by our team of artists.

  • Coordinate and cooperate with our Art Director and 3D artists to iterate upon and perfect your designs.

  • World Building: Research architectural styles, historical periods and/or environmental elements to ensure authenticity and consistency.
