We are currently looking for an experienced 2D Environment Artist to join R&D Team and will work on visualization of draft concepts for new games. Do you have what it takes? Apply now! 

R&D Team — a small team of highly skilled artists, who find and test new styles for the company’s projects. You are not expected to have skills in dozens of various styles, however it is very important for us that you are ready to become part of the creative process aimed at finding new visual solutions in commercial graphics. This role is ideal for you if you prefer to develop your creative and research skills rather than participate in a flow production of art.
