Job Description

Thekla, Inc.—the independent studio behind the critically acclaimed games Braid and The Witness—is looking for experienced 3D Environment Artists to join us on a contract basis.

We're in full production on a new game and seeking artists who are comfortable working independently in a flexible, creative environment. This is a remote-friendly, contract position with occasional in-person meetups in Denver. We’re a small team, and each contributor has significant impact—so we’re looking for collaborators who are self-directed, communicative, and eager to take ownership of their work.

Skills & Requirements

Responsibilities

  • Block out and refine 3D environments from rough, mood-focused compositions to polished, in-game assets
  • Translate simple blockouts into fully realized scenes with a strong focus on environmental theming, set-dressing, and mood
  • Compose spaces that support gameplay clarity, visual storytelling, and thematic consistency
  • Collaborate with the Art Director and Designers to compose and refine compelling, gameplay-driven spaces
  • Build and expand modular kits; polish and optimize existing environment work
  • Adapt quickly to changing priorities as the project evolves
  • Participate in informal, day-to-day communication via Slack and email, as well as consistent online meetings

Required Skills

  • Strong proficiency in Maya or Blender, ZBrush, Photoshop
  • Experience with Substance Painter and Substance Designer
  • Solid understanding of the full game development pipeline
  • Ability to concept in 2D or 3D when needed
  • Strong eye for style-matching and maintaining visual consistency within an established art direction
  • Comfort working in a proprietary engine and learning new tools quickly
  • Ability to create stylized artwork and adapt to established visual styles
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable receiving and integrating feedback

Bonus Points

  • Experience documenting workflows and sharing knowledge with teammates
  • Previous experience in small or independent teams
  • Passion for thoughtful, design-driven game environments
