Environment Artist
Bringing the environment to life through art
Environment art is an important aspect of any project that involves creating immersive worlds and settings. It's important to consider the overall tone and mood of the environment, as well as the specific details that will bring it to life. Whether you're designing a fantastical world or a realistic urban setting, environment art is an essential tool for creating a believable and engaging world for your audience to explore.
An environment artist is a skilled professional who creates immersive and realistic environments for video games, films, and other forms of media. They use their expertise, proficiency, and mastery in 2D sketching, backgrounds, illustrations, 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, and composition to bring virtual worlds to life. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, an environment artist plays a crucial role in creating captivating and memorable experiences for audiences.
If you're a skillfully talented and prolific environment artist, Psoaic is currently looking for someone just like you to bring the imaginary and virtual environment to life, and make stunning, appealing, and spectacular experiences of what you can possibly see. As an environment artist, you'll be responsible for creating immersive and engaging worlds for our audience to explore. This includes designing everything from fantastical landscapes to realistic urban settings. If you're passionate about creating immersive environments and have a strong portfolio to back it up, we'd love to hear from you.
