🎨 We're Hiring: Full-Time 2D Artist for a Cozy Life Sim

Remote · Full-time or contract-to-hire freelance

We’re looking for a talented 2D artist to join us full-time and help build out the visual world for a new cozy social life sim focused on decorating, gardening and caring for a soft little creature.

This is a long-term role focused on in-game asset creation; furniture, decor, outfits, plants and shop exteriors. You’ll be working from a clearly defined art style and asset lists. We’re looking for someone who can work independently and deliver consistent batches of art.

➤ AI-assisted workflows are required. You should be comfortable using AI tools as part of your process for ideation, batching or iteration. Final output must match our visual style and be production-ready.

✦ What You’ll Be Doing

• Creating 2D assets including
• Furniture, decor, plants and shopfronts
• Clothing and accessories for a soft, customizable character
• Seasonal and event-based content drops
• Delivering clean, usable assets (layered PSDs or equivalent)
• Using AI tools to help scale asset production efficiently
• Working from moodboards, references and a clear style guide
• Managing your own schedule with regular deliveries and communication

✦ You’re a Good Fit If You…

• Have a soft, stylised portfolio with strong examples of asset or outfit work
• Are experienced building cozy, consistent game visuals across themes
• Use tools like Midjourney, Photoshop AI, or similar as part of your own workflow
• Are confident working independently without needing constant direction
• Like contributing to a calm, creative and well-organised project

✦ About the Project

We’re creating a warm, expressive world centered around self-expression, gentle routines and a customizable companion. The tone is cozy and non-commercial. The art is stylised but clean, expressive but simple. We’ve already locked the character style and overall direction, now it’s time to scale the asset pipeline.

This is a fully remote collaboration with a small, kind and focused team. We move quickly but thoughtfully and value clarity, consistency and heart in what we make.

✦ QUALIFICATIONS

• Proficiency in 2D art creation using software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar
• Experience utilizing AI to improve asset pipeline
• Ability to work collaboratively with design and development teams
• Excellent communication skills to effectively discuss ideas and provide feedback
• Experience in maintaining a consistent art style
• Strong attention to detail and creativity
• Ability to adapt to feedback and refine concepts quickly
• Experience in the gaming or technology industry is a plus
