We are a crowdfunded company and have a dedicated and enthusiastic community of backers who are helping us create the “Best Damn Space Sim Ever”. We want to build the best we can deliver and we believe wholeheartedly in the value of exceptional diverse talent.
Cloud Imperium Games is looking for an experienced Senior Vehicle Artist to join our team!
The Senior Vehicle Artist will work with Vehicle Content Team to create spaceships and ground vehicles for Star Citizen’s Persistent Universe. They will take ownership of these vehicles and ensure that they are delivered to a high technical and visual standard, supporting the Vehicle Artists working alongside them. They will work closely with the Lead Vehicle Artist to help improve workflows and ensure that the projects they have ownership of run smoothly.
Our vehicles range from small single seater fighters all the way up to capital sized ships and everything in between. Many of our vehicles have fully realised interiors, which makes this role a hybrid of vehicle artist and environment artist.
The Senior Vehicle Artist will be working at the leading-edge of development for the record-breaking crowd-funded project, space-simulation FPS MMO “Star Citizen” and the action-packed cinematic story campaign “Squadron 42” with its star-studded cast including Mark Hamill, Gillian Anderson, John Rhys-Davies, and Mark Strong (to name just a few).
Founded in 2012, Cloud Imperium Games creates cutting-edge videogames that defy expectations. We’re currently developing Star Citizen, a record breaking multiplayer online space sim, and Squadron 42, cinematic single-player adventure set in the same universe. Join us as we break boundaries and make videogame history.
