game artist

Video game illustrator

A game artist creates visual elements for video games—characters, environments, textures, animations, and user interface designs.

The role spans many specializations: concept artists sketch initial ideas, 3D modelers build characters and objects, environment artists craft game worlds, and animators bring everything to life.

She worked as a game artist at a major studio for five years.
