About The Internship

We are looking for a creative and passionate Game Artist Intern to join our team! As an intern, you will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects, contributing to the creation of in-game art, UI assets, and marketing materials. You'll gain hands-on experience and collaborate with talented professionals while learning about the mobile gaming industry's art production pipeline.



We're looking for a Game Artist Intern to join our Creative Department and grow into a versatile, multi surface artist. You'll work alongside our Game Artists, Marketing Artists, and Brand Designer on real shipping work across our game portfolio UI screens, localization assets, in-game promos, and brand support.

This internship is built for someone with strong design fundamentals, a curious eye, and the discipline to learn fast across very different visual languages. You won't be doing busywork you'll be shipping assets that players actually see, with mentorship from the team.


What You’ll Do:

  • Assist on in-game assets across multiple titles: UI elements, icons, illustrations, event art, and in-game social assets, under the guidance of Game Artist.
  • Get exposure to diverse visual languages - stylized casual, anime MMORPG, medieval SLG, and traditional card-game aesthetics.
  • Contribute to mood boards, references, and visual exploration during feature pre-production.
  • Support Arabic adaptation passes: RTL layout adjustments, Arabic typography, and text-in-image localization.
  • Build a strong eye for what reads as authentically Arabic vs. mechanically translated.
  • Help produce promotional art for LiveOps events, seasonal moments (Ramadan, Eid, National Day), and feature launches.
  • Assist the Brand Designer on pitch decks, event identity, social-media assets, and internal comms visuals.
  • Learn to apply brand guidelines consistently across touchpoints.

What You’ll Need:

  • A portfolio showcasing your artistic skills and passion for art (Academic or personal Projects).
  • AI fluency is required, not optional - you should already be using AI image, ideation, or workflow tools in your practice and able to show examples of how they've sharpened your output.
  • Curiosity, a high taste bar, and the ability to take feedback without ego.
  • Familiarity with design tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar software.
  • Basic understanding of visual design principles like color theory, composition, and layout.
  • Familiarity with mobile games and a passion for gaming.

Why Join Tamatem
  • Ship real assets seen by millions of players across MENA - not internship busywork.
  • Learn from a senior, multidisciplinary creative team in a department where craft and AI fluency are equally valued.
  • Grow into a Game Artist role with real ownership across game art, UI/UX, localization, and brand
