Задачи

• We’re looking for a Senior/Lead 3D Character Artist to own character art for WWE Champions and set the standard for how the biggest WWE Superstars come to life
• In this role, you’ll pair expert craft with leadership — defining the quality bar and our stylized-realism visual language, growing the character art team, and representing the discipline across the studio
• You’ll be the bridge between art and Design, Product, and Production: taking feasibility calls, scoping what’s realistic, and making sure we ship recognizable Superstars on a demanding live-service cadence without compromising quality
• Responsibilities will include
• Owning, documenting, and championing the character art quality bar and the game’s stylized-realism visual language
• Leading, mentoring, and growing the character art team - reviews, feedback, career development, and hiring
• Delivering the most complex hero characters yourself when needed, setting the benchmark the team follows
• Acting as the primary point of contact for character art across the studio, representing the discipline in planning with Design, Product, Production, and Tech Art
• Owning feasibility calls - assessing incoming feature, content, and Superstar requests against art scope, technical budgets (poly count, memory, mobile performance), and schedule, and giving clear, honest answers on what’s achievable, the trade-offs, and realistic alternatives
• Scoping and estimating character art work, providing estimates and timelines that feed roadmap and live-ops planning
• Translating design, product, and marketing goals into clear art requirements, tasks, and priorities for the team
• Planning team capacity and distributing work across internal artists and outsourcing, directing and reviewing vendor work to ensure it meets the bar
• Establishing and continuously improving character modeling and sculpting pipelines, tools, and best practices in partnership with tech art
• Partnering with animation and tech art on deformation, rigging readiness, and optimization, and driving solutions to hard technical-art problems
• Supporting Superstar likeness accuracy and brand/approval requirements, coordinating with stakeholders and the licensor as needed
• Flagging risks, resolving competing priorities, unblocking the team, and escalating when necessary

Требования

• Expert-level character art skills - mastery of human likeness, anatomy, low-poly game-ready modeling, stylized realism, and clothing/gear
• 8+ years creating character art for shipped games, including time leading or directing a team
• Proven ability to set and hold a quality bar across a team and a large body of work
• Strong cross-functional communication - comfortable partnering with design, product, and production, and making and defending feasibility and trade-off decisions with non-artists
• Solid grasp of the technical constraints that drive feasibility on mobile (poly/texture budgets, memory, performance) and the ability to scope and estimate work realistically
• Strong leadership and mentoring skills, able to give direction and rally a team around a vision
• Experience defining or significantly improving character art pipelines and workflows
• A strong understanding of end-to-end game production workflows — how character art fits into the wider pipeline from concept and pre-production through live operations
• Expert command of the full character toolset (ZBrush, 3DCoat, Maya or 3ds Max, Substance, and a real-time engine)
• Ability to take feedback constructively and communicate decisions clearly across disciplines
• Experience using AI tools to support character art workflows (reference exploration, ideation, or production efficiency), with strong artistic judgment guiding final output
• Experience on a live-ops / live-service mobile game with a regular content cadence
• Experience leading or coordinating outsourcing/vendor teams
• Experience with celebrity or athlete likeness or licensed IP
• A genuine passion for WWE and sports entertainment
• Portfolio
• A portfolio is required and should demonstrate
• Personal character craft - game-ready models and human likeness
• Stylized character work
• Evidence of leadership - work shipped under your direction, style guides, or pipeline contributions
