Creating new games is part of Rovio’s DNA, and we are now looking for a Senior 2D Artist to join one of our growing teams working on a new action title. In this role, you will be responsible for creating bold, energetic, and engaging visual concepts that shape the look and feel of the game world. From early moodboards and sketches to final polished concepts, you will help bring our stylized universe to life and ensure our players enjoy visually delightful experiences.
You will collaborate closely with game designers, 3D artists, and developers, translating gameplay and feature ideas into clear, appealing, and usable designs. This is a highly creative role where your concepts will directly influence characters, environments, and live content, keeping our players inspired and engaged.
The team is primarily based in our Izmir studio, with expansion planned in Barcelona. If you’re in Türkiye but not yet in Izmir, we can support relocation—and if you’re in Spain, we can provide work permit sponsorship. However, we’re currently not offering relocation to Spain.
You will have impact and fun at work by:
- Creating appealing concept art for characters, environments, props, and UI elements that reflect the game’s bold, stylized identity.
- Translating gameplay mechanics and feature briefs into usable designs that enhance clarity, personality, and playability.
- Producing a wide range of assets—from moodboards and thumbnails to polished concepts.
- Supporting the 3D Artist with callouts, references, and breakdowns to ensure smooth production.
- Injecting fresh energy into future seasonal events, skins, and live content with creative concepts.
- Iterating quickly based on team and player feedback.
Experience and skills we are looking for:
- Proven experience in stylized visual development for games, animation, or related creative fields.
- Ability in both character and environment concepting, with a keen eye for shape language, clarity, and appeal.
- Proficiency in digital illustration tools(Photoshop,Illustrator, Procreate, or similar).
- Good proficiency in Unity and Spine, including but not limited to importing assets, optimizing and setting up assets, atlases, timelines etc.
- Comfort with quick iteration, incorporating feedback, and adapting to evolving art direction.
- Understanding of the visual demands of mobile games (readability, scalability, performance constraints).
- Collaborative mindset, excited to work cross-functionally with designers, 3D artists, and developers.
- A passion for creating visually delightful experiences that connect with players worldwide.
