Leading-edge gaming studio looking for a talented concept artist who can adapt to the unique art style of our flagship title and has a feel for MMORPG game design, to join our fast-growing team.

We are developing Ember Sword, a groundbreaking platform-agnostic and Free-to-Play MMORPG Game set in a player-driven fantasy universe, with digital collectible cosmetics and a blockchain-enhanced economy.

It’s a universe where the players control the world through true land ownership. A game in which all valuable cosmetic items are tokenized as scarce non-fungible crypto-collectibles, which are acquired by players through gameplay objectives, instead of sold through loot boxes. With a fan community spanning more than a hundred thousand people, a strong advisory board, a $2M investment round this year, and a very successful first land sale campaign ($1.5M) that sold out in just a few hours, Ember Sword is aiming high and growing fast.

As a concept artist working at Bright Star Studios, you will be designing and implementing artistic concepts and features inside our proprietary game engine in close collaboration with the design and art team, and the devs.
