Join our founding team as a Senior Character Artist and be at the forefront of crafting extraordinary games that captivate audiences globally.

-- Position:

Are you a visionary Senior Character Artist with a passion for creating immersive and visually stunning gaming experiences? This is your chance to shape the visual identity of our games from the ground up and be an integral part of an upcoming Action-Adventure Game based in India.

You will work directly under the guidance of the Senior 3D Artist and Art Director, bringing your expertise to a collaborative and visionary team.

-- Responsibilities:

• Character Creation: Design and create captivating 3D characters, including texturing and rigging, that align with the overall game vision.
• Collaboration: Work closely with animators, game designers, and developers to ensure seamless integration of 3D assets into the gaming environment.
• Art Style Implementation: Implement a consistent and visually appealing art style that enhances the overall player experience.
• Design Iteration: Continuously iterate on designs based on feedback and playtesting, refining and improving visual elements.
• Industry Trends: Stay updated on industry trends and incorporate innovative techniques to push the boundaries of visual storytelling in games.

-- Qualifications:

• 2+ years of experience as a 3D Character Game Artist, with a strong portfolio showcasing your talent and creativity. High-Poly to Low-Poly Baking of Details, Texturing, and some experience with Basic Rigging and Animation.
• Mastery of industry-standard 3D software like Blender/Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, and integration with Unreal Engine 5 (Metahuman Character/Props and Integration). This is a must.

-- Salary and Compensation:

This role is unpaid for the first few months (~6 months) while we secure funding.

However, you will be eligible for ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) as part of our founding team. The cliff period for ESOPs will begin during the unpaid phase, ensuring your time and commitment are recognized from the start. This is an opportunity to become a shareholder in BLOXNEO, joining as a founding member with a vested interest in the company’s success.

Once we complete the game's first Demo Version or Reveal Trailer, we will transition to fundraising. Following this, founding members will move to contractual agreements with competitive salaries and a signing bonus that acknowledges the work done during the unpaid period.

Furthermore, the compensation structure will include performance-based bonuses tied directly to the game's financial success. Upon the game's release, a portion of the revenue will be shared with the founding team, allowing you to directly benefit from the game's achievements.

By offering ESOPs and revenue sharing, we foster a sense of ownership, ensuring that each member of the team is deeply invested in BLOXNEO's success.
