2D Artist (World of Warships, PC)

The World of Warships team is looking for a talented 2D Artist to join our Belgrade office. 

In this role, you will be equally involved in creating new features and supporting existing ones. Your responsibilities will include developing art concepts for features and content, creating illustrations (digital graphics and painting), working with vector graphics, producing digital miniatures (both skeuomorphic and flat styles), and designing UI elements and navigation. 

We often use 3D as a foundation for our work (non-game models), so prior experience with this approach would be a strong advantage. However, we are also open to candidates who are willing and able to quickly learn and adopt this workflow. 

The ideal candidate feels confident handling both routine production tasks and more complex, creative challenges that require strong artistic vision and problem-solving skills.
