Job Description
Posted on: January 17, 2026
🎨 Are you a 2D artist with a flair for defining art styles? Want to help shape the look of a fantasy detective game?
We’re looking for a Lead 2D Artist to join the team behind an in-development PC game that has just finished its prototyping phase and is starting work on a first playable. This project is working with a really exciting and well-established fantasy IP, and we need someone who can take ownership of and define the game’s art style. We’re seeking someone who can define artistic pillars, lead a small art team and work within the IP’s predetermined world.
As part of the Gamecrafters’ Collective, you’ll work with a remote, creative team developing this IP from the ground up. From key art and character design, you’ll play a crucial role in defining the game’s visual identity.
🧠 Who We’re Looking For:
- A 2D artist with experience in illustration and concept art
- Someone comfortable working with pre-existing IP
- Someone who can establish and communicate a strong visual style
- A great collaborator who can lead a small art team
- Bonus points for experience in game UI
🎯 What You’ll Be Doing:
- Creating concept art, character designs, and game-ready assets
- Shaping the game’s look and feel
- Working closely with the design team to ensure visuals support gameplay and story
- Providing guidance and feedback to other contributing artists
🎁 What You Get:
- 💸 Profit share when the game launches (co-op model)
- 📚 Portfolio credit on a unique and visually rich project
- 🧪 Real creative input from day one
- 🤝 A supportive team of designers, writers and game-makers
This is a volunteer role within a cooperative, profit-sharing indie studio.
If this fantasy detective project sounds like a world you want to help bring to life, drop us a message, we’d love to chat.
