Environment Artist
JOIN THE REBELLION!
For 30 years, we’ve been independently developing and publishing incredible video games across our multiple studios—founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley. But Rebellion is more than just games: we have our own film studio, board games, publishing books, and through 2000AD, we create comics and graphic novels like the iconic Judge Dredd.
About the Role
We’re seeking a passionate and driven Environment Artist to elevate the visuals of an exciting, unannounced game—a chance to join a studio renowned for the Sniper Elite series and fresh off the massive success of Atomfall.
As a mid-level Environment Artist, you’ll design props and complete levels in a realistic art style, working closely with level designers and tech artists. This role demands ownership, autonomy, and creativity beyond replication. You’ll refine original concepts while contributing to outsource feedback. The position can be based at Oxford, Warwick, or Runcorn studios, with support to relocate.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with level designers to plan spaces while ensuring narrative and visual storytelling integrity, documenting your process clearly.
- Build functional assets that align with technical and artistic constraints, ensuring reuse across the project.
- Track and update progress using designated tools (e.g., Trello, Jira).
- Engage with stakeholders (tech artists, senior artists, producers) to confirm project objectives, receive feedback, and refine work.
- Reference game design documents to develop environments that reflect game objectives, atmospheres, and style—optimising for current-gen platforms.
- Present work professionally while remaining adaptable to direction changes and open to learning new systems.
