Remote Concept Artist — $134,000/year | Fully remote, open to applicants in the USA, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, India, and several other countries The Short Version Somebody has to picture the world before anyone builds it. That's this job. We need a remote concept artist who can take a rough brief — sometimes just a sentence or two — and turn it into characters, environments, and props that a whole production can actually build. If you already think in silhouettes before you think in paragraphs, keep reading. Day to Day No two weeks look identical here, but most of your time will go toward things like: Designing environments, characters, and props that fit each project's look and feel Turning creative briefs into sketches, mood boards, and storyboards other departments can work from Sitting in on reviews with art directors and designers to keep the overall visual direction lined up Reworking pieces based on feedback — without losing what made the original idea work Jumping into brainstorm sessions with teammates spread across different time zones Making sure a single prop still feels like it belongs in the same world as everything else on the project You'll also want to keep a half-eye on new tools and techniques in digital art. Not because we expect you to chase every trend, but because the field moves fast enough that standing still isn't really an option. What You'll Need We weigh your portfolio more heavily than your transcript. Still, here's the baseline: Education: High school diploma or equivalent. A Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, Illustration, or a related field helps, but it's not required. Experience: At least 3 years doing concept art or visual development for games, animation, or media production. A portfolio that shows range — rough thumbnails as well as polished, finished pieces. A working grasp of anatomy, perspective, lighting, and color. Comfort switching between visual styles as the project calls for. The ability to work alone for long stretches, then show up ready for critique. Software and Tools You'll be working mostly in Adobe Creative Suite — Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects — alongside Procreate or Clip Studio Paint for sketching. Blender and ZBrush come in handy for basic 3D blocking and overpainting. For team collaboration, expect Miro, Figma, Slack, Zoom, and Notion in regular rotation. A few projects also touch Git or Perforce for version control. Equipment and licenses are handled through IT, and onboarding is adjusted based on how comfortable you already are with each tool. Good to Have, Not Required Prior experience working across multiple remote teams or time zones Storyboarding or previs work for film or animation Basic familiarity with a game engine pipeline, Unreal or Unity A non-traditional path into art — self-taught, career changer, whatever got you here How the Team Works Being remote here doesn't mean being disconnected. You'll set your own hours for the most part, but there's a rhythm to how we stay in sync: weekly creative standups, occasional jam sessions, and regular check-ins so a distributed team still feels like one team. Roles like this one tend to surface through Naukri Mitra, and our aim is straightforward — match artists with work they'll actually want to do for years, not months. Compensation and Perks $134,000 annual salary Flexible hours, fully remote Health coverage and paid time off Fully funded courses, workshops, and masterclasses Peer feedback labs to keep your craft moving A real path toward art direction or mentoring, if that's where you want to go Quarterly check-ins with leadership about where your career is headed next Our Hiring Process We hire on the strength of the work, not the shape of the résumé. Interviews are structured to reduce bias, and we've hired plenty of people whose paths into art didn't look like a straight line. If yours didn't either, that's fine. Apply Send your portfolio, plus a short note on the kind of projects you'd actually want to spend the next few years on. That's really all we need to get started.
