You’ll also be fully remote, so you can work from anywhere.What You’ll Be DoingCreating high-quality concept art for characters, environments, creatures, and props.Collaborating with designers and 3D artists to establish the game’s visual direction.Developing mood boards, thumbnails, and iterations to refine ideas.Ensuring consistency in art style, color palettes, and thematic elements.Providing visual storytelling elements that enhance the game’s atmosphere.What We’re Looking ForStrong artistic skills, with a solid understanding of composition, lighting, and color theory.Experience creating highly detailed, atmospheric concept art.Ability to work in a dark sci-fi and post-apocalyptic art style.Proficiency in Photoshop, Procreate, or similar digital painting tools.Good communication skills and ability to take feedback constructively.Comfortable signing a contractor agreement (legal stuff, you know how it is).Industry TransparencyWe recognize concerns about unpaid work in the game industry, and we take them seriously. To ensure fairness and legal clarity:All contributors are independent contractors. We use the term “contributor” because it sounds better, but legally, everyone is a contractor.We currently do not generate revenue. However, if QByte Studios does, contributors will be compensated based on the net revenue-sharing model outlined in our agreements.Additional NotesApplicants aged 14-17 will need a signed parental consent form.This is a contractor role, not a traditional job—work as much or as little as you want.While this is an unpaid position for now, we fully intend to compensate all contributors if the studio generates revenue.Bonus Points (Not Required, but Nice to Have)Experience designing post-apocalyptic sci-fi environments and creatures.Familiarity with Unreal Engine 5 art pipelines.Love for gritty, atmospheric world-building.Passion for Fortnite: Save the World or similar gameplay styles.Forget Boring Interviews – We Play Games Instead!We hate the usual email/call interviews. They’re awkward, stiff, and don’t show us how you work in a team.So, inspired by Nicholas Greenwood, we’ve decided that interviews at QByte Studios are done in-game! Most likely in Fortnite Battle Royale and/or Save the World, but the game may vary.You don’t need to be cracked at the game—we just want to see how you:Work in a team (if you’re a lone wolf, this might not be for you).Handle pressure (aka, getting third-partied by a 12-year-old with better aim than us).Adapt and learn (aka, are you gonna rage quit if things go south?).Communicate (even if half of it is playful trash talk, as long as you respect people).If a 1v1 happens, trash talk is totally allowed (may earn you bonus points), just keep it fun and respectful.Why Join Us?Real-world experience in game development.Build your portfolio with an ambitious indie project.Get recognized for your work.Work remotely, whenever you want, from anywhere.Be part of a chill, creative, and supportive team.How to ApplyQuick apply or email ceo@qbytestudios.com with:Your portfolio (ArtStation, personal website, etc.).A short intro about yourself & why you’re interested.Your availability & relevant experience.No stiff interviews, just a game session & a chat.
