Game Artist

About PromptPixel

PromptPixel is an independent game studio focused on crafting polished, visually distinctive mobile games with strong style, feel, and personality. We combine creative art direction with solid engineering to deliver tight, satisfying interactive experiences for players worldwide. We experiment, iterate, and refine ideas into memorable mobile games that are fun to play and built to last.

The Role

You'll be our first dedicated artist, which means your work will define the visual identity of our games from the ground up.

You'll create characters, environments, props, and visual effects for 2D mobile games built in Unity. You'll work closely with our developers to make sure everything looks great and moves great. You'll help establish art direction, iterate on visual style, and ensure a consistent, polished look across every screen players touch.

We're looking for someone who can adapt across styles and bring strong creative instincts to a small team where your taste and decisions shape the final product.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience creating 2D game art, characters, environments, props, and visual effects
• Strong animation skills (frame-by-frame, Spine, or similar skeletal tools) with a feel for timing, weight, and expressiveness
• Familiarity with Unity's 2D tools (Sprite Editor, Animation, Tilemap)
• Ability to work across different visual styles and adapt to the needs of each project
• Experience preparing and exporting game-ready assets for Unity (spritesheets, atlases, 9-slicing, resolution handling)
• Comfortable giving and receiving creative feedback in a small, collaborative remote team
• A portfolio that shows range, craft, and attention to detail

Nice to Have

• Experience with UI/UX design for mobile games (menus, HUD, onboarding flows)
• Experience with visual effects (particles, hit feedback, juice)
• Experience with pixel art
• Motion graphics or promotional art for store listings / marketing
• Contributions to game jams or personal game projects

Why PromptPixel

• You're not filling a pipeline, you're defining the visual identity of our games
• Craft-first culture focused on feel, polish, and player experience
• Small team where your creative voice carries real weight
• Fully remote
