3D Lead Artist

Flaming Fowl Studios is an independent studio raised from the ashes of the renowned Lionhead Studios. We create games that feature deep and interesting strategic experiences with fascinating twists and always include a healthy dose of humour. Previous products have included the critically acclaimed Gloomhaven and, more recently we have self-published Konfronto, and have recently moved onto our next exciting project, an adaptation of another beloved board game. We are looking for a talented artist to join our ranks and help us create something awesome. Although the team is mainly based in the UK, we operate remotely so we would encourage applications from all over. Flaming Fowl is built on a foundation of respecting quality of life over everything else. We are a fully distributed team, working flexible hours and currently have team members from all over Europe. If you are fed up commuting, fed up being micromanaged and want to define your own hours then this is a great opportunity to become a core member of a studio, but with all the flexibility of working from anywhere in the world. We are seeking a Lead 3D Artist who is able to help define the strategic vision of the project. You will not only establish the visual DNA, look, and feel of our projects but also jump into development to create and implement assets. We are not looking to make simple digital ports of board games, but to consolidate our reputation as experts in the digital board game space, expanding games beyond their physical interpretation, and this gives us a wide array of options for artistic expression.
