We are currently looking for an experienced Lead Game Creative 2D Artist (remote) who will define, maintain, and evolve the artistic style of the project, lead and mentor a team of artists, and ensure the visual quality of all assets in a casual style.

- Cooperation with other departments.
- Art quality control on the project.
- Work in casual style.
What We Expect:

To feel comfortable in this role, you should be a strong concept artist capable of setting and refining the benchmark quality of an asset when needed. You should also have a well-trained artistic eye, a genuine interest in the gaming market, and the ability to communicate effectively with professionals from various fields.
