Game Artist

2D Artist / Pixel Artist — Remote, Revenue ShareAbout GrindWill

GrindWill is a small indie game studio focused on creating compact, engaging games that players can keep coming back to.

We are a small team, so everyone has a direct impact on the projects we work on. We like testing ideas quickly, improving them through feedback, and keeping the development process practical and collaborative.

About the Project

We are looking for a 2D Artist or Pixel Artist to join us for an upcoming game project with an estimated development period of around three months.

The game’s visual direction has not been limited to one specific technique, so we are open to both traditional 2D art and pixel art. The final direction will be shaped together based on the artist’s portfolio, strengths, and the needs of the project.

Compensation

This is NOT A SALARIED position.

Compensation will be provided through an agreed share of the project’s revenue. Revenue share details, responsibilities, and expectations will be discussed clearly before the collaboration begins.

How We Work

This is a fully remote collaboration.

There are no fixed working hours, and you can organize your schedule however you prefer. The important part is communicating with the team and completing agreed tasks by their deadlines.

You may work independently, freelance, study, or already have another job. We do not require exclusivity or a specific employment background. Applications will mainly be evaluated based on portfolio quality, relevant experience, and how well your style fits the project.

Responsibilities

• Creating production-ready 2D or pixel art assets for the game
• Designing environments, props, UI elements, icons, and other in-game visuals
• Developing or adapting a consistent visual style for the project
• Iterating on artwork based on team feedback
• Communicating progress and delivering agreed tasks on time
• Collaborating with the development team on visual direction and implementation

What We Are Looking For

• Previous experience creating assets for games
• A portfolio containing game-related 2D or pixel art work
• Experience with environments, props, UI, icons, characters, or similar game assets
• Ability to create visually consistent and production-ready artwork
• Ability to work independently and manage deadlines
• Openness to feedback and iteration
• Basic knowledge of preparing assets for animation or game engine integration is a plus
• Formal education in art or design is not required. Your portfolio and previous work will be the main factors in our evaluation.
