The Clash of Clans art team is looking for a VFX Artist who can completely own visual effects, including asset creation as well as look and feel across the game. We need to drastically improve the quality of the VFX currently in the game; you will be that champion, with a dedicated focus to make Clash the highest quality standard for VFX in gaming. Working closely with Game Design and UX to think Player First about the best ways to implement and improve VFX for the game.

Working in the Clash of Clans art team is different. You are expected to seek feedback, not approval, meaning you need to be highly autonomous, working within a completely flat environment where you need to balance your own ambitions with the needs of the team. A large part of that is actively hunting for contrary opinions that will lift your work by exposing your personal biases and blind spots. Ultimately, you decide what feedback to action because the entire team trusts you to make the best decisions for the game and the players.

Responsibilities: 

• Maintain the look and feel of Clash of Clans VFX
• Make VFX from concept art to implementation
• Create hand drawn custom animated sprites for VFX
• Model and texture objects for 3D projectiles
• Optimize and manage VFX technical resources efficiently
• Continuously seek feedback and update the team with your progress and vision

Requirements:

• Excellent understanding of stylized 2D VFX
• Familiarity with TVPaint, Blender, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Animate (Flash)
• Highly organized and optimization minded
• Self-driven and always reaching for the impossible
• Actively seeking contrary opinions to improve your work/perspective
• Passion for games and hand crafted VFX

Nice -to-haves?

• Motion Graphics experience
