Role Overview

We are hiring a 2D Illustrator & Background Artist to create scene-based illustrations for animation and short-form cinematic videos.

Paint scene-based frames that support mood, lighting, depth, and storytelling

Use lighting, shadows, and color palettes to define atmosphere in animated scenes

Compose shots using camera angles, depth, and visual hierarchy for animation use

Collaborate with animators and storyboard artists to ensure illustration consistency across scenes

Strong skills in 2D digital illustration

Comfortable creating backgrounds, environments, and scene illustrations

Good understanding of composition, lighting, and color for animated scenes
