About the Job:
We’re on the hunt for a talented Mid-Level 3D Artist who lives and breathes stylized art and hand-painted textures. At Midow Studios, you won’t just be another cog in the wheel, you’ll be a driving force behind the visual identity of our ambitious, magic-themed, free-to-play VR multiplayer game, Discovery of Magic.
As part of a small but highly creative team, you’ll have real impact from day one. You’ll help shape a magic-infused world by crafting everything from enchanting props and immersive environments to expressive characters and eye-catching cosmetics. Your work will breathe life into the game, with every asset contributing to a memorable player experience. And most important, this isn’t a place where ideas get lost in the noise - your creativity will be heard, valued, and encouraged. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just think outside the box, but forgets the box entirely.
What You’ll Do:
- Create optimized, stylized 3D Assets focusing on environments and props.
- Develop 2D concept art and illustrations to guide asset creation.
- Craft high-quality, hand-painted textures.
- Ensure assets are VR-ready, mobile-friendly, and meet technical constraints.
- Integrate and organize assets within Unity.
- Work closely with the design and development teams to brainstorm and solve visual challenges.
- Follow closely our pre-established art-style and enhance it.
Who We’re Looking For:
- Strong portfolio showcasing stylized 3D environments, props, and hand-painted texturing.
- 2+ years of professional experience in game art development.
- Expert in Blender for 3D modelling and UV unwrapping.
- Proficiency in 2D Concept Art and digital illustration (Photoshop or similar).
- Proficiency in texturing (Substance Painter, Photoshop, or similar).
- Experience with Unity for asset integration and optimization.
- Ability to produce highly optimized, mobile-friendly assets for VR.
- You are a team player with strong communication and reliability skills.
- A strong passion for games, fantasy, and magic.
- Attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines.
- Familiarity with agile and iterative workflows.
- Fluent in English.
Bonus XP Points:
- Experience creating Stylized Creatures & Characters.
- Experience with Rigging and Animation (Big bonus).
- Experience with VFX creation (Unity VFX Graph and Shuriken).
- Experience with Lighting and atmosphere setup in Unity.
- Experience with Shader creation (Unity Shader Graph and HLSL).
- Experience working on VR titles.

- Make an impact: At Midow Studios, no one is ever a number. Your voice is as important as anyone else and you will be encouraged to pitch ideas and give opinions wherever necessary.
