We are seeking an art lead that yearns to have his art direction define our games. You’ll not only get to be hands on in creating concept sketches, mock ups, to finished production-ready art to be used in a game, you’ll also be able to create game characters, interface, and even help design our website, and marketing materials. You’ll have an outsourced art team to lead and help build the visual appeal of our game worlds. Must appreciate an artstyle that is more colorful and cartoony in style. We’re not talking about Disney cute cartoons. More like X-Men mixed with Anime and a dash or silliness from Happy Tree Friends.

This role has potential to join us as one of the original co-founders.
