Concept Artist

About the Role:

Xivon Interactive is looking for a Concept Artist who specializes in realistic and cinematic environment design. You’ll help define the visual direction of immersive, grounded worlds—balancing storytelling with functional design. Your work will serve as a key reference for our 3D team and contribute to the look and feel of both games and cinematic content.

Responsibilities:

• Create visually rich and realistic concept art, focused on environments and prop-heavy sets
• Build moodboards and visual reference sheets to establish tone and direction
• Use AI tools (Midjourney/DALL·E/etc) in combination with manual paintovers and traditional methods
• Deliver cinematic frames that focus on lighting, mood, spatial logic, and detail
• Provide real-world-inspired references and prop lists that feel believable
• Collaborate with 3D artists and directors to ensure visual alignment

Requirements:

• Strong portfolio demonstrating realistic style in environment concept art (urban, industrial, natural, etc.).
• Excellent sense of composition, lighting, and grounded storytelling.
• Ability to use real-world references effectively (Google, Pinterest, photo packs, etc.).
• Skilled in Photoshop (or similar tools); AI tools for ideation are a bonus.
• Strong attention to detail—especially in materials, lighting, and scale.
• Good communication and willingness to iterate based on feedback.

Bonus Skills:

• Familiarity with film lighting, lensing, and real-time production pipelines.
• Basic understanding of 3D blockouts (Blender or SketchUp).
• Interest in architecture, industrial design, or cinematic pre-vis.
• Experience in working with stylized realism or hybrid 2D-3D pipelines.

Visual Style We’re Looking For:

• Think: “The Last of Us,” “Sicario,” “True Detective,” “District 9,” or realistic cinematics.
• Less stylized fantasy—more grounded, functional, tactile worldbuilding.
• Strong environmental storytelling through clutter, props, mood, and light
