Job Description
Rocksteady is looking for an Advanced Character Artist to join our dedicated and collaborative team working on our upcoming title Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and beyond.
A well-rounded Character Artist will find success in this role, especially an individual who is exceptionally passionate about the artistry and craft in making faces to a high degree of fidelity. Whether it’s modelling, stylisation, texturing, materials, blend shapes, wrinkle maps…you will help us maintain high artistic standards in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
You will be collaborating with our Technical and Animation teams to ensure our characters look great during both cinematics and gameplay, and that their expressions are as iconic as the characters themselves.
This role also involves crafting realistic and detailed characters from concept art, whether they are creatures, any form of outfit or mechanical robots; you understand the ins and outs of both organic and non-organic surfaces. For example, you know how to make skin look ‘fleshy’, how to model and texture different types of cloth, and are proficient at modelling hard surface assets, all while meeting the polygon budgets.
This position is hybrid, and requires a minimum of one day per week at our office in Kentish Town, London.
