Experienced 2D Environment Artist
⚠️ Experienced artists only. We’re looking for someone with shipped game work and a strong environment portfolio. Applications without professional game environment experience won’t be considered.
About the game
Project Topdeck is a party-based roguelite deckbuilder in development for PC (Steam), built in Unity. Players draft a party of heroes from a roster of ~20, and each hero contributes cards to one shared deck. Think Darkest Dungeon meets Slay the Spire 2 . The tone is a little dark and serious, but with real humor and personality underneath: expressive rather than grim for grim’s sake.
About us
Topdeck Productions is an indie studio based in London, with 10 people currently working on the game. The concept and art style are already established, so you’ll be working within a defined visual direction, not starting from a blank page.
The role
- Paint 2D game environments: illustrated room and dungeon scenes, combat backgrounds, and map/location art
- Translate existing concepts and the established style into finished, production-ready environments
- Work with our team on readability, so backgrounds support characters, cards and UI rather than competing with them
Requirements
- Proven professional experience as an environment / background artist on games (shipped titles strongly preferred)
- A portfolio showing finished 2D painted environments
- Able to match and maintain an established art style consistently
- Reliable, communicative and comfortable with iterative feedback in a small team
Details
- Type: Contract / freelance
- Location: Remote, Europe (studio in London, so some UK timezone overlap needed)
- Rate: $300–450/day depending on experience
To apply
Send an email with your portfolio. Please include environment work specifically.
