Job Title

️ About the Project Aurivell: Shadows of the Wardens is a 2D narrative RPG set in a morally grey, supernatural modern world. It’s The Wolf Among Us meets Disco Elysium — blending detective gameplay, point-and-click mechanics, and illusion magic in a haunting city full of secrets. We’re looking for a 2D Character Artist who can help bring this gritty, atmospheric world to life through expressive, stylized character art. ️ Key Responsibilities Create compelling 2D character designs that reflect personality, faction, and backstory. Design and render full-body character sprites , outfit variations, and accessories. Create clean, animatable sprite sheets (walk cycles, idle animations, interactions). Collaborate closely with writers and designers to interpret narrative into visual design. Ensure consistency with the game's visual tone : urban-fantasy, noir, grounded but magical. Iterate on feedback and revisions, especially during art style exploration phase. Requirements Strong portfolio showcasing character-focused 2D artwork . Ability to design diverse, emotionally expressive characters with clear silhouettes. Comfortable creating turnarounds and sprite sheets for Unity-based workflows. Experience working in Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, or equivalent. Ability to balance realism, stylization, and readability in small-scale sprite art. Familiarity with dark fantasy, urban supernatural, or noir genres. ⭐ Bonus Skills Experience working on narrative or indie games . Familiarity with Unity pipeline and preparing assets for implementation. Ability to illustrate facial expressions, body language, and age/ethnic diversity. Knowledge of visual storytelling and using costume design to reflect narrative roles. Comfort creating UI icons or in-world character busts, if needed.
