About this role
The illustration director acts as the lead artist for an assigned game title. Responsibilities cover card concepts, instructions and composition proposals, correction notes, feedback, retouching and finishing adjustments, alongside hands-on drawing. The role establishes illustration standards, provides technical guidance to team members, selects external artists and gives feedback to both partners and colleagues.
Applicants must submit a portfolio and have produced IP-title illustrations from composition roughs through final finishing. Employment in either the games or animation industry, upstream work on illustration or card themes, composition and instructions, and experience providing feedback and technical guidance are required. Strong drawing fundamentals, adapting to different visual styles and understanding IP-owner, client and user intent are central to the work.
