Job Title: Character Illustrator

About the Role:

- We are looking for a talented Character Illustrator for our SCP Foundation inspired Dating Sim who will serve as the visual backbone of our game.
- Your primary focus will be taking reference concepts and turning them into highly polished, fully rendered (static) 2D character sprites and expression sheets for dialogue sequences.

Key Responsibilities:

- Character Production: Render high-resolution, static, production-ready 2D character sprites, poses, and expression sheets based on established references and design briefs.

- Focus is strictly on static 2D art; No rigging or animation required.

- Texture and Rendering Polish: Maintain a distinct visual style combining clean line art with detailed surface rendering.

- Conceptual Adaptation (Bonus points): Help translate abstract or monstrous SCP lore into appealing, dateable humanoid character designs.

- UI and Visual Support (Bonus Points): Assist with secondary visual assets, such as dialogue frames, choice buttons, or setting concepts if needed.

Qualifications:





- Style and Technique: Demonstrated ability to draw in semi-realistic style with detailed linework, realistic cloth folds, and textured shading.

- Portfolio Focus: Must show finished, high quality, fully rendered character illustrations, full-body sprites, or detailed semi-realistic styled character designs (over rough concept sketches). Preference for artists who can blend romance-game tropes with eerie, detailed monster elements.

- Software Mastery: Proficiency in digital drawing tools (Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, Procreate, or equivalent).

- Anatomy and Expression: Deep understanding of anatomy, lighting, fabric rendering, and facial expression design for sprite overlays.

Nice to Haves:

- Previous experience on visual novels, dating sims, or 2D narrative games.
- Enthusiasm for or knowledge of the SCP universe.
- Basic familiarity with UI design or environment art concepts.
