CAREERS
BEFORE YOU APPLY:
-
All creative applicants (artists, writers, audio, etc.) must turn in a portfolio to be considered.
-
We are a stylized focused studio. Portfolios that only contain realistic pieces will not be considered.
-
Website or Portfolio must contain relevant content to the job posting.
-
Improve your application chances by looking through Our Work for examples of what we're looking for as far as style and quality goes.
-
If you are a 3D artist, improve your chances by showing us your wireframes of in-game quality topology.
-
We do look at all applicant submissions, but we unfortunately cannot respond to you all because of the sheer number and time it takes to do so. We do thank you for sharing your work with us, and in many cases we keep your work on file if we feel you might be a fit for future projects!
-
Applicants that work outside of North and South America will not be considered. Full fluency of English is also a must.
-
We do not consider those who brand themselves as AI Artists.
