About the role:
You will work collaboratively with our art team to develop and refine the art style, texture and richness of the Stellaris game, through thoroughly researched, richly detailed and extensively iterated 3D art with a focus on spaceships and hard surface. The role also involves creating additional 3D art for our games as needed, such as space creatures, space stations and marketing materials.
