2D / Marketing Artist (Trainee)

We are working on Project Morning Star, a dark medieval low-fantasy game combining strategy-management and RPG elements, all set in a grim depiction of 14th-century Europe. With the lands invaded by the minions of hell, players find themselves tasked with building and leading an order against the arch demons, hoping to free humanity from the scourge that has been haunting it. Sounds good? Look no further, check out a sneak peek on https://virtual-alchemy.games/ !

One of key characteristics of our game is its hand-painted art style (in full 3D!), which is dark, mature and heavily inspired by paintings of the old masters. We are looking for a 2D Artist to help us deliver this experience to the player, supporting the project across the 2D domain.
