  • Maintain organised asset libraries and structured source files
  • Standardise workflows and improve efficiency in asset production and adaptation pipelines

Compliance & Intellectual Property

  • Ensure all artwork is original or properly licensed
  • Strictly follow intellectual property and compliance guidelines, avoiding any unauthorised or infringing materials

  • 1+ year of experience in game art design, mobile game production, or reskin/modification projects
  • Strong proficiency in Photoshop; experience with Spine, After Effects, or Procreate is a plus
  • Solid understanding of composition, colour theory, and character/environment design
