Character Artist jobs in Vancouver

Character Artist

Character Artist The character artist takes a concept to fruition; this person works under the supervision of the art director and lead character artist to create character assets for use in games and marketing materials. Based on the concept artist’s sketches, this person creates initial 2D illustrations. Those designs are presented to the art and design teams, tweaked, and revised. Next the artist will model a 3D computer image, gradually adding definition, weight, and colour. Enhancements like shading and texture may be the task of the character artist, or can be handed off to specialists.
