Location: West Yorkshire | Full-Time |

Games Animator - 2D/3D - Spine - Photoshop - Illustrator - Maya - Blender

We're currently partnering with an innovative and fast-growing mobile gaming studio that's looking to expand its world-class creative team. Our client is seeking a Senior 2D/3D Creative Concept and Production Artist/Animator to help bring visually compelling slot games to life across mobile-first platforms.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced artist who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and has a deep passion for developing engaging game content. If you're a concept-to-production thinker who can drive the artistic vision of a game, we want to hear from you.

The Role:

In this position, you'll take ownership of visual concept development from game briefs-creating storyboards, mood boards, and concept art to guide production. You'll work alongside other artists, designers, developers, and testers to deliver polished games that stand out in a competitive market.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create high-quality 2D and 3D visual elements, including symbols, backgrounds, UI, and animations.
  • Develop compelling concept art, sketches, and storyboards that align with a game's theme and features.
  • Produce artwork across various visual styles-cartoon, sci-fi, fantasy, realism, and more.
  • Optimize assets for performance across devices without compromising quality.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to maintain visual consistency and achieve creative goals.
  • Leverage AI tools where applicable to streamline asset creation.
  • Provide constructive feedback and contribute to the continuous improvement of game visuals.

What We're Looking For:

  • A robust portfolio demonstrating high-quality 2D/3D artwork-preferably for slot or casino-style games.
  • Proven experience turning game briefs into production-ready visual concepts.
  • Proficiency in tools such as Spine, Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya, Blender, or similar.
  • Strong understanding of rigging, animation, texturing, lighting, and shading.
  • Familiarity with the full game art pipeline and best practices in asset optimization.
  • Experience with or willingness to explore AI-enhanced creative workflows.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work both independently and within a team.
  • A genuine enthusiasm for slot games and the mobile gaming industry.
