We are looking for a Character Concept Artist to join the Shadow Fight 3 team.

Shadow Fight 3 is a 3D fighting game for mobile with RPG elements and a loyal fanbase around the world. We have a strong technical base that helps us create fun and varied gameplay. You’ll be working with our internal systems and helping to improve them.

Responsibilities:

• Create 2D concepts of characters and weapons

Requirements:

• Portfolio featuring character concept art matching the Shadow Fight 3 style

• At least 3 years of experience in a similar role within the gaming industry

• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop

• Ability to draw on a graphics tablet and by hand

• Solid understanding of composition and color theory, with a strong artistic sense and attention to detail

• Excellent teamwork and communication skills

Would be a plus:

• Artistic education

• Experience with 3D software for character creation (ZBrush, Blender, Maya, etc.)

We offer:

• A great team with a friendly, informal work environment where we share interests, play video games together, and organize internal events (game jams, tournaments, and meetups)

• Opportunities for professional development, including participation in specialized conferences and educational events

• Work remotely from anywhere. Working hours: 10 AM – 7 PM (GMT+3, including a 1-hour break), with the option to adjust

• Support for personal growth: English courses, psychologist sessions and various educational programs

Please note: to apply, you need to provide a portfolio featuring character concept art in the project style. Realistic or semi-realistic styles are welcome; casual/cartoon styles won’t be considered.

Portfolios showing only environments, props, or just weapons won’t be a fit for this role.
