Wildlife Studios, a leading mobile game developer and publisher with billions of players globally, is seeking a Senior 2D Game Artist to join its growing Art Team in São Paulo.
You will serve as the primary artist on core game teams, defining the visual direction and art strategy for mobile games. Your role bridges traditional 2D art fundamentals with emerging generative AI tools, allowing you to work efficiently across multiple art disciplines including illustration, concept art, UI, and occasional 3D and animation work.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading art vision for small, focused game development teams
- Creating compelling 2D artwork including character design, environments, and visual storytelling
- Collaborating with designers, engineers, and product managers to translate game design documents into polished visual experiences
- Iterating rapidly on art direction and gameplay visuals based on player feedback and data
- Pioneering the use of generative AI tools in your workflow—controlling model quality, building custom prompts, using inpainting, and blending AI outputs with traditional techniques like paintover and photobash
- Helping define and evolve art pipelines and Gen-AI adoption strategies across the studio
- Contributing to game design discussions and shaping the overall player experience
You are a versatile, self-motivated artist with strong 2D fundamentals (composition, color, anatomy, lighting) and demonstrated experience creating artwork for games, animation, comics, or entertainment IPs. You have a proven portfolio showcasing illustration, concept art, and visual storytelling. You're proficient in Photoshop or equivalent painting tools and have actively integrated generative AI into your creative process with clear artistic direction. You communicate effectively in English and thrive in collaborative, multidisciplinary environments.
