2D Character Artist
Create a character in 2D form
As you could see the traditionally animated TV shows, 2D/2.5D video games, movies, internet and comics/manga, 2D character designs appeared and created by traditional character artists. They are very creative in traditionally making characters and rendering them in 2D for computer and video games, animated videos and other projects instead of 3D.
Psoaic is searching for a professionally experienced and versatile character artist (or character artists) who has an interesting talent for drawing, sketching, illustrating, painting and other traditionally artistic skills, including character design. Because of this, there are many anticipating, future, planned and recently released projects like video games and animated shorts in various production stages at all times, and character artists will become expected to apply artistic jobs due to the fact that they have traditional skills of designing characters in a variety of ways that depend on the day-to-day requirements of these projects.
Here at Psoaic, we are interested in searching for and cooperating with the professional character artists to see how traditionally realistic, decent, well-drawn, well-painted, horrifying, beautiful, stylish, awesome and artistic their artworks are, and share equal passion for our arts, games and animations. With the assistance of concept artists and animators, they use provisions to improve and update character designs, and make characters brought to life in 2D respectively.
Responsibilities
Traditionally drawing, illustrating and sketching character designs.
Digitally making character designs in raster graphics editors, such as Adobe™ Photoshop, Corel™ Draw, Corel™ Photo-Paint, Paint.net, GIMP, and Paint.com.
Rotoscoping and digitizing characters based on real-life actors and rigged 3D models.
Creating realistic, decent, memorable, well-drawn, well-painted, beautiful, horrifying, stylish, awesome and artistic characters for our 2D-rendered computer and video games as well as the other projects.
Collaboratively working with animators to create 2D motions for characters that can functionally move and act anything.
While artistically making them moveable for game designs, animated shorts and other projects, having collaboration with multi-disciplinary design teams is possibly responsible to bring characters to life in 2D.
Revising/updating and improving character designs with the help of concept artists to make changes of respective characters.
Putting 2D sprites into games that render 2.5D graphics with the help of 3D animators and artists.
Staying updated with industry trends and techniques.
Continually developing their skills and knowledge to produce high-quality work.
Qualifications
4 or more years of experience in a creative and artistic field, such as drawing, designing, illustrating, painting, rotoscoping, digitizing, modelling, or sketching things for video games, TV shows, animated shorts, comics/manga or movies.

Taking pride in and personal ownership of your character designs.
