Spry Fox is looking for a 3D Character Artist contractor to help us work on a new, original game!

This is a 4-6 month contract position.

Who do we want

We’re looking for a Character Artist who can create vibrant and clean character assets for a 3rd person, non-violent MMO. You’ll be responsible for creating models and materials for player characters, their clothing, NPCs, wildlife, and creatures for a cozy, stylized, multiplayer game.

Responsibilities:

  • Authoring character models for customizable avatars, clothing, NPCs, and creatures both mundane and imaginative
  • Collaborating with Art Direction to work on cel-shaded, non-PBR assets.
  • Implementing your asset into Unreal Engine 5 and following file organization conventions while creating assets.
  • Working with Art Lead to help identify necessary workflow and pipeline improvements.
  • Working with Animators and developers on a relatively small team to make sure that content is optimized for performance on multiple platforms (including Mobile)
  • Communicating decisions and tradeoffs to the rest of the team

Qualifications:

  • A 3D portfolio that demonstrates both a strong understanding of fundamentals of human and creature anatomy and how to stylize it, as well a sense of cuteness and appeal in silhouettes and proportions.
  • A willingness to work with texturing techniques not standard to the industry.
  • Experience balancing the tradeoff between asset detail and breadth of content.
  • Proficiency with authoring and working with Unreal materials
  • Prior experience with other aspects of the Unreal character art pipeline (skeletal meshes, third person characters, etc.)

Plusses:

  • Concepting experience, comfortability creating concept for your own work
  • A willingness to work on props and assets outside of the character realm
  • Any 3D generalist skills such as animation or VFX

If you are not already, we recommend you familiarize yourself with:

  • Slack
  • Google Drive
  • Perforce

Apply

Please send your full resume, references, and anything else you think we should see to jobs@spryfox.com.
