3D Character Artist - REMOTE GLOBAL

We’re Hiring: 3D Character Artist - Mid / Senior
Contract - Remote - Immediate Start Preferred
We’re Bunch o’ Nerds, a small indie studio working on our third game, a co-op game with a distinctive world, and unusual characters and creatures.
You’ll probably fit right in if…
You love fantasy worlds, weird personalities, and characters that don’t fit neatly into any category. You enjoy pushing shapes, proportions, and ideas into unexpected territory, and when a concept sounds completely absurd, your first instinct is “let’s see how far we can take this.”
Our focus is on stylized, unconventional characters rather than realism or familiar NPC archetypes. A shared enthusiasm for fantasy and the bizarre is essential, we want someone who’s already excited to explore this world with us.
What you’ll do:
Create stylized, game-ready characters and creatures, from modeling and sculpting through retopology, UVs, and texturing.
Translate concepts and visual references into expressive models with strong silhouettes and personality.
Prepare clean, optimized assets for Unity and work with our team to make sure they’re ready for rigging and animation.
Help maintain a consistent visual style across a varied cast.
Communicate progress, estimate delivery times, and flag production challenges early.
What we’re looking for:
A portfolio showing strong stylized character work.
A solid understanding of anatomy, shape language, proportions, and color.
Experience delivering game-ready assets with animation-friendly topology.
Confidence taking a character through the full modeling and texturing pipeline.
The ability to work independently, respond to feedback, and collaborate openly.
Nice to have:
Experience with non-human characters, creatures, and animals.
Familiarity with Unity.
Rigging or skinning experience.
Experience developing modular characters or efficient asset variations.
We’re open to mid-level and senior artists. Your portfolio, practical thinking, and ability to bring personality into your work matter more to us than a specific number of years.
Interested?
Send your portfolio, availability, and expected monthly rate. Please include a brief breakdown of your contribution to any collaborative portfolio pieces. Automated or AI-generated applications will be rejected immediately. Cheers.
