Driftstone Games is looking for a talented 2D environment artist / illustrator to contribute to an indie game currently in development.
The project has an existing playable prototype and is moving into a larger art production phase, with a playable demo targeted for October 2026.
We're looking for an artist with availability to begin work soon who is comfortable creating detailed, atmospheric 2D artwork for a dark, moody setting.
Potential Work
- Detailed 2D environments and interior scenes
- Environmental artwork for the player's primary gameplay space
- Illustrated scenes for narrative cutscenes
- Character illustrations and portraits
- Additional narrative and environmental artwork as needed
This is not a pixel-art project.
What We're Looking For
Strong environment and illustration skills are the primary focus. Experience with character art and/or 2D animation is a bonus, but not required.
We're particularly interested in artists with strong skills in lighting, composition, atmosphere, and environmental storytelling.
This is a paid freelance/contract position. Hourly or milestone-based arrangements can be discussed depending on experience and the work involved.
More information about the project, existing prototype, and visual direction can be provided upon inquiry.
