Job description

Join our AAA Art Team on the cutting edge of character creation.

We’re looking for an exceptional Realistic Character Artist with a deep understanding of human anatomy and a passion for crafting lifelike digital humans. If you thrive on precision, love micro-detail sculpting, and have a sharp eye for realism—this is your opportunity to work on next-gen characters for groundbreaking projects.

Responsibilities:

  • Sculpt and model anatomically accurate human characters with a focus on realism, detail, and believability, using tools like ZBrush, Maya, and Marvelous Designer.
  • Translate high-res sculpts into clean, game-ready meshes with optimized topology and efficient UV layouts.
  • Apply high-quality PBR texturing techniques to create lifelike skin, pores, hair, eyes, and fabric materials, using tools like Substance Painter, Mari, and Photoshop.
  • Create and apply micro details such as pores, wrinkles, and subtle skin deformations to enhance realism.
  • Collaborate with concept artists, tech animators, and rigging teams to ensure seamless integration of assets into the pipeline.
  • Implement feedback from Art Directors and Leads, refining character assets to meet the highest visual and technical standards.
  • Stay updated on the latest tools, techniques, and anatomical studies to push the boundaries of realistic character art.

Requirements:

  • 3–5+ years of experience in AAA game development or high-end VFX with a focus on realistic character art.
  • A strong portfolio showcasing high-fidelity, anatomically accurate characters with clean topology and detailed texture work.
  • Advanced knowledge of human anatomy, including muscle structure, fat distribution, and bone landmarks.
  • Expert-level skills in ZBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, and related industry-standard tools.
  • Proven experience in creating PBR materials with physically accurate surface properties and realistic material responses.
  • Excellent sculpting skills with attention to surface detail, asymmetry, and natural imperfections.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills to work effectively in a team-oriented environment.
  • At least one shipped AAA title with significant contribution to character production.

If you’re driven to create characters that look and feel real, and want to be part of a team pushing the frontier of visual fidelity—apply now!

  • Opportunity to work on AAA projects.

  • Stable employment and professional growth in an international environment.

  • Training platforms and workshops to level you up.

  • Hybrid set-up for those who are living in NCR, remote for those who are outside the metro.

  • Community of people who understand and share your passion for games.

  • Team of like-minded people.

  • A culture of diversity and inclusion to unite the most outstanding talents.
