ART
Your Role
Unleash your artistic potential as a member of a distinguished team of environment, character, and concept artists dedicated to innovation and inspiration.
Responsibilities
Epic Games is seeking a skilled Concept Outsource Lead to oversee and enhance creative content provided by our outsourcing partners as part of our collaboration with Disney. Reporting directly to the art lead(s) and working alongside the Outsource Manager, you will deliver valuable creative feedback for submissions that require Epic's review. Although the position involves supervisory tasks, a solid background as a concept artist is essential, preferably with experience in game studio pipelines.
The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of world-building, environment, character, and FX art, and will effectively communicate with outsourcing partners. Duties include documenting existing workflows, gathering or creating quality reference assets, curating mood boards, and collaborating with various teams at Epic to ensure that the concept art meets the highest standards and aligns with project needs.
In this position, you will:
- Collaborate closely with Epic Art Leads, project Art Directors, Outsource Managers, and team artists to support external vendors.
- Convey the artistic direction to vendors, ensuring the generated art adheres to Epic's tonal consistency and high standards.
- Develop diverse concept designs for environments, characters, and FX within the Fortnite universe.
- Compile or produce comprehensive documentation, video references, and art asset production guidelines to aid external partners.
- If necessary, make adjustments to ensure assets are technically ready for integration.
- Provide clear and constructive feedback to outsourcing partners to enhance the quality of submissions.
