Iron & Asphalt Interactive is redefining the simulation genre. IGG is seeking a Senior Concept Artist who specializes in the “characterization” of European heavy-duty vehicles. In our universe, a truck is not just a machine; it is a character with a story, a personality, and a presence.

This role (Senior Concept Artist) requires a rare hybrid of skills: the technical precision of a realistic vehicle designer and the imaginative soul of a character artist. You will be responsible for defining the visual language of our European fleet, ensuring every bolt, chrome finish, and silhouette resonates with authenticity while pushing the boundaries of digital art through AI-assisted workflows.

1. Master Character & Vehicle Design

You will lead the creative charge in defining what a “European Truck Persona” looks like in a modern gaming context.

• Original IP Creation: Design original, realistic European-style trucks that serve as the “protagonists” of our titles. This includes full-body concepts, interior cockpits, and specialized trim variants.
• Stylistic Consistency: Ensure all designs adhere to a unified, high-fidelity project art style that balances hyper-realism with cinematic appeal.
• Narrative Integration: Create “visual histories” for vehicles—weathering patterns, custom decals, and modifications that tell a story of the road.

2. Outsourcing Strategy & Creative Direction

As a Senior Artist, your influence extends beyond your own canvas.

• Pipeline Planning: Develop comprehensive outsourcing briefs that clearly communicate technical specifications and aesthetic goals to global partners.
• Vendor Management: Act as the primary feedback loop for external studios, ensuring that outsourced assets meet our rigorous internal standards for quality and delivery speed.
• Quality Assurance: Conduct final overviews and “paint-overs” to polish external work until it aligns perfectly with the internal vision.

3. AI-Driven Workflow Innovation

We embrace the future of art production. You will be the studio’s champion for AI integration.

• Generative Design: Use AI painting tools (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc.) to rapidly prototype silhouettes, color schemes, and environmental reflections.
• Refinement & Selection: Expertly curate AI outputs, identifying the “diamond in the rough” and refining it into a production-ready asset through manual digital painting.
• Style Unification: Train or utilize LoRA/ControlNet models to ensure AI-generated concepts remain consistent with our specific European truck aesthetics.

4. Cross-Functional Liaison

You are the bridge between the “What” and the “How.”

• Requirement Synchronization: Translate gameplay requirements from the design team into visual constraints for the art team.
• Technical Collaboration: Work closely with 3D Modelers and Technical Artists to ensure your 2D concepts are functionally viable for rigging and animation.

Professional Experience

• The Veteran Edge: Minimum of 5+ years of professional experience in game original art design. You must have at least one shipped “AAA” or fully developed mobile title in your portfolio.
• Structural Expertise: Deep understanding of design theory, industrial anatomy (specifically heavy machinery), and lighting/material physics.
• Stylistic Versatility: While the primary focus is realism, we value artists who can pivot. Experience with European/American Cartoon (Chibi) styles is a major plus, as we occasionally explore stylized spin-offs and marketing assets.

Technical Mastery

• The Digital Suite: Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) and digital painting hardware.
• AI Tooling: You must be more than a “prompter.” We require a candidate who understands the “Practical Application” of AI—someone who can use AI to solve workflow bottlenecks, not just generate random imagery.
• Technical Drafting: Ability to create orthographic views and technical call-outs for 3D production.

Leadership & Soft Skills

• Strategic Thinker: You don’t just draw; you analyze. You understand the “why” behind a design choice and can defend it to stakeholders.
• Effective Communicator: Proficiency in English is essential for coordinating with our global offices. You must be able to deliver feedback that is firm yet inspiring.
• Project Management: Skilled in sorting requirements and managing timelines. You should be comfortable using tools like Jira, Shotgun, or Trello to track outsourcing progress.
