We are now looking for a passionate 2D artist. We need someone who is genuinely driven by art, constantly draws, and gets a kick out of creating juicy, crisp, and super-polished visuals.We have nothing against image generation, but AI shouldn't be used to cover up a lack of fundamental skills (light, color, form, composition). We need people whose manual drawing skills and foundational knowledge surpass what generation can output.

Here’s How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Symbols: Draw consistent sets with an obvious visual hierarchy. Your art must be flawlessly readable on any mobile screen
• Backgrounds: Create deep atmospheres while smartly managing the player's focus. The background should set the mood but technically guide the eye to the main elements (the reels)
• Characters: Create charismatic heroes with a twist. Properly prepare assets for animation, conceptualizing and drawing clearly readable stages and visual upgrades
• UI, Pop-ups & Features: Design cool and intuitive in-game UI. Create interface elements that evoke emotion but remain crystal clear and highly functional (smart work with typography, text, banners, and composition)

What Makes You A Strong Candidate:

• Strong Fundamentals. Excellent understanding of design, color, light, volume, perspective, and spatial thinking
• Experience in Slots is a must. You understand the specifics of the iGaming genre, technical requirements, and know what functional slot art should look like
• Independence. We work without micromanagement. We expect you to drive your own tasks, work within given timeframes, avoid drowning in perfectionism for its own sake, and proactively resolve blockers
• English. Confident spoken level for comfortable communication and teamwork

What AI Skills we need:

• Character/background concept draft creation and variation expansion using Leonardo AI or others — Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Nano Banana etc.
• Reduce production time and build an efficient AI art pipeline by porting AI tools to existing art
• Post-fixing and high-resolution upscaling of AI productsIdentify the latest generative AI trends and provide guidance on using AI tools

Qualification Requirements:

• People who have a high level of understanding of modeling, color, and composition before using AI tools
• A person with excellent sophisticated prompt design and parameter control capabilities to produce the intended results

What we want to see in your portfolio:

• Commercial & Personal Work: Show us what you've done for business, but also show us your studies and sketches. We want to see how you think and develop, and that you draw not just for work, but for yourself
• Teamwork / Shipped Projects: Don't be shy about attaching screenshots of finished slots and team projects! Just honestly caption your exact contribution. We know gamedev is a team sport

Nice to have:

• Branding/client experience knowledge
• Experience with Spine 2D / 3D (any software for block-outs)
• WIPs (Work in Progress steps) from your past projects
• Experience with project management tools like Monday and JIRA
