About the Role
We’re looking for a freelance illustrator with a strong focus on semi-realistic character and/or environment art to join a high-profile cinematic project for a renowned AAA game studio. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to a visually ambitious title from one of the most respected names in the industry.

At Grafit, you’ll be part of a team of experienced artists working on key visual assets for this flagship title. The project requires high attention to detail, strong storytelling through design, and stylistic consistency within a semi-realistic aesthetic.

• 3+ years of experience as an illustrator in game development
• Excellent skills in drawing, anatomy, composition, and color theory
• Ability to produce refined, final-quality illustrations
• A portfolio that demonstrates semi-realistic characters across different genres (fantasy, sci-fi, etc.)
• Confidence working with AAA-level visual standards and feedback cycles

Why you’ll love working with Grafit

• You’ll collaborate on a high-visibility project for a world-class AAA game studio — the kind of title that sets industry standards.
• As a freelance artist, you’ll enjoy the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere while still being part of a professional, well-organized production pipeline.
• At Grafit, you’ll work alongside experienced, like-minded illustrators who share your passion for quality and creativity.
• We’re a studio built by artists, for artists — so we get what matters to you: clear feedback, reasonable deadlines, and artistic growth.
