3D Character Artist / Shareholder

We’re looking for talented 3D Character Artists to join Prometheus Games Ltd!
About the job
We’re an independent game development studio based in Scotland working on an original fantasy title, and we’re looking for talented 3D character artists to join our team and help bring our world to life. We hope to recruit artists who are passionate about 3D art, enjoy collaborative creative work, and want to play a meaningful role in shaping an ambitious indie project. Our team has been working hard on developing this title for the past nine months, so this is a very exciting opportunity to join an award-winning student project which we now want to develop fully. It’s a brilliant chance to expand your personal skill set and portfolio.
Responsibilities
As part of our 3D character art discipline, you could contribute to the creation and development of:
Characters & Creatures — bringing the inhabitants of our world to life.
Visual Development — collaborating with our art team to maintain a cohesive artistic direction.
Requirements
- Strong 3D character art skills, including sculpting, modeling, and texturing using tools such as Blender, Maya, ZBrush, or similar software.
- Experience creating stylised or semi-realistic characters, with a solid grasp of anatomy, proportion, silhouette, and visual storytelling.
- Familiarity with Unreal Engine and workflows for preparing, rigging, and importing character assets.
- Understanding of optimisation techniques for real-time rendering, including topology, LODs, and efficient UV mapping.
- Ability to collaborate effectively in a remote team environment, communicate clearly, and respond constructively to feedback.
- Self-directed work style, strong time management skills in a part-time setting, and willingness to take creative ownership.
-Since we are a small team, you will be in the heart of the development process and may be required to assist in other areas.
- A professional portfolio showcasing an array of 3D charcter work. In-engine work is desirable.
An opportunity to become a shareholder
We’re an early-stage, self-funded indie studio. Our team is building the company together, with shareholders contributing voluntarily as we work towards bringing our game to market. We are still looking to consolidate our core members.
After a trial period, the successful applicant would be offered a share in the company, providing an ownership stake and a voice in company decisions.
This is a voluntary, equity-based opportunity rather than a conventional salaried position. DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY, IT IS OPEN TO UK RESIDENTS ONLY.
About Prometheus Games
Prometheus Games is a small independent games company based remotely throughout the UK. Our team was initially formed out of Abertay University. The UK’s leading university for game design and development. Over the months following, we began the creation of our first game project, which became one of the most successful titles the course has produced. We have received expert industry mentorship in its production, and showcased at the Glasgow Independent Games Festival and EGX London. Our project became award-winning, and now we want to continue to fan the flames and bring you all the next evolution of our beloved game. We are all deeply passionate about making games, supporting young creators and the impact that games have on all of us. We hope you will support us on our journey.
