game artists

Interactive media illustrators

Game artists create the visual elements of video games—characters, environments, objects, animations, and user interfaces.

The role spans specializations from concept art to 3D modeling to texture work.

Game artists collaborate closely with designers and programmers to establish a game's visual style and bring it to life: The game artists spent months refining the character designs.
