Elaborating from a napkin sketch or narrative concept, you will produce visual designs that are resonant, compelling and iconic. Using your understanding of architecture, world building, terrain and prop design, you will stretch the limits while maintaining clear art direction. You will participate in craft review sessions to give, and receive feedback on the work.

Responsibilities

● Sketch, brainstorm, and refine ideas through concepts for gameplay, thematics, environments, props, user interface elements, and characters.
● Collaborate on an interdisciplinary pod with product owners, game designers, animators, artists, and writers.
● Work with your team to create gameplay pitches that convey mechanics and environmental thematics.
● Develop detailed concept art, paint-overs, storyboards, and orthographic concepts for 3D artists, and animators.
● Ensure that all concepts are executed using League of Legends stylization and shape language.
● Participate in Playtest sessions.

Required Qualifications

● 5+ years of experience as a Concept Artist in the games industry.
● Proficiency with painting and drawing tools such as Photoshop.

Desired Qualifications

● Experience designing content for isometric camera views.
● Affinity for Runeterra IP or a general knowledge of League of Legends.
● Experience with broad appeal vs niche aesthetics.
● Wide range of pop-culture knowledge: anime, games, movies, and graphic novels.

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise, a collaborative spirit, and decision-making that prioritizes the delight of players.
