We’re working with an innovative independent game studio looking for a skilled 3D Character Art Generalist to join their remote team on a 4–6 month contract, with potential for extension based on performance and project needs.

If you thrive in fast-paced, creative environments and enjoy working across character modelling, animation, and technical implementation in Unreal Engine 5, this could be a perfect fit.

  • Create expressive and visually impactful materials

Animation

Technical Art (Characters)

  • Rig and implement characters in Unreal Engine 5

  • Set up shaders and ensure clean integration into the game engine

Bonus Experience (Nice to Have):

  • Prop Art – model and texture stylised props or prep assets for team handoff

  • Technical Art – shader editing, reactive physics for props or environments

  • VFX – basic particle effects for characters or environmental elements

  • Lighting – create lighting scenarios that support mood, palette, and art direction

What we’re looking for:

  • Excellent understanding of form, proportion, and colour

  • Strong hand-painted texturing skills

  • Deep familiarity with stylised asset creation pipelines for UE5

  • Comfortable with tools such as Blender, Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Photoshop , or similar

  • Ability to sketch or quickly concept visuals to communicate ideas

Why join this project?

Creative Variety – Work across disciplines on highly stylised, emotionally driven content
Tight-Knit Team – Collaborate with passionate developers, designers, and artists
Growth Culture – Learn from others, share your knowledge, and flex your creativity
