Remote Fantasy Illustrator

About the Role

Are you someone who doodled dragons in the margins of your school notebooks, breathed life into enchanted forests, and dreamed up characters with shimmering wings or sinister auras? If your imagination frequently escapes into realms of wonder, you might be the exact kind of creative soul we're looking for. As our Remote Fantasy Illustrator, you’ll play a central role in building entire worlds—one brushstroke at a time. From ethereal elven queens to menacing dungeon beasts, your work will help bring immersive stories to life for games, books, and digital experiences that thrill fans around the world.

Our Journey So Far

We began as a small collective of worldbuilders, dreamers, and tech enthusiasts who believed in the magic of storytelling. Our mission? To reimagine how audiences interact with fantasy content in the digital age. Since our first sketch of a shadow mage gliding across a moonlit sky, we've evolved into a remote-first creative studio with global reach. With each project, we’ve pushed the envelope of fantasy art—from dynamic mobile RPG assets to interactive web-based comics. And this is just the beginning. With your artistry, we’ll take our enchanted visuals to the next dimension.
