🖌️ About the Opportunity

Inkognido operates across multiple visual pillars:
Realms MMO (characters, creatures, environments, weapons)
Echo Reality (AR overlays, spatial markers, avatars, UI metaphors)
AI-driven avatars & emotional actors
Deck launcher interface & lore art
Mini-games + live narrative events
The Concept Artist generates the visual blueprints that guide everything our 3D, animation, and VFX teams produce.

This role blends:
Worldbuilding
Character & creature design
Environment and prop ideation
Rapid iteration
Exploratory visual storytelling
If you love shaping new worlds and drawing the ideas that set the tone for an entire universe, this is your role.

🚀 Your Mission
Create high-quality concept art that defines the visual identity of characters, worlds, props, and UI metaphors across all Inkognido products.

You will:
Explore designs that match the Art Director’s vision
Produce quick sketches and polished illustrations
Help establish visual motifs, shapes, silhouettes, and themes
Provide clear handoff art for modeling + animation teams
Your work becomes the visual starting point of everything built at Inkognido.

🛠 Responsibilities

Create concept art for characters, creatures, environments, props, and vehicles
Generate moodboards, color keys, shape language studies
Rapidly iterate on new ideas and variations
Work closely with Art Director to maintain visual consistency
Collaborate with 3D artists, animators, and technical artists for production needs
Produce callouts, front/side views, and orthographic sheets
Support AR visual R&D for Echo Reality markers and holographic elements

You define the early visual DNA of the Inkognido universe.

Must Have:
Strong portfolio demonstrating character and environment concepts
Ability to explore multiple style directions and shape languages
Strong understanding of anatomy, composition, color, and lighting

Experience with AR-related visual metaphors or UI iconography
Familiarity with lore-driven or narrative concept pipelines
Ability to create loose key art or cinematic frames
This role suits artists who love exploration and creative problem-solving.

💡 Why This Role Matters

You define:
The look of playable characters
The personality of AI avatars
The vibe of cities, dungeons, and landscapes
The tone of Echo Reality overlays
The style of creatures, weapons, and props
Concept art prevents misalignment across departments and accelerates production dramatically.
Your work becomes the visual foundation of the entire Inkognido universe.
